| Oops. My Copy/Paste didn't work. The first link was left over from a message I sent earlier today. Here's the real one.

Well that might explain why the original buyer did not follow thru on the payment. I see the seller left neg feedback for him. That's not very nice. |

Location: Spokane, WA | That makes sense, (the 1863LX) because when I emailed him, he told me it was an 8863LX, which kind of puzzled me. He actually emailed that to me twice, but it must have been a typo. What do you guys think about this guitar, my BS light was glowing pretty bright as I read his ad, (cash, MO, or Western Union only). Any thoughts? |

| Right, Cruster -- and he said he'd already paid for it when the last buyer backed out. So, he should have it in hand (not sure how a small-timer goes about ordering new Ovations in the first place).
Pokeypup, since the seller negged the buyer, I wonder why the buyer hasn't replied, or negged the seller. |

I also did not like the 2 weeks wait for shipment. |

Location: Spokane, WA | I just got another email from the guy, I had asked if it was steel or nylon string, just to see what he said. He again said that it's a model 8863LX ????? and that it was a steel string ???? The 1863 is a nylon string classical isn't it? I don't think he actually has the guitar there, and is kind of making stuff up. |
