Location: SoCal | High - $650 to $750 with good OHSC (original Ovation case). In the last several months bought two 1619's - drk sunburst, great condition - 1979 and 1982. If I wanted a black, would still bow out at $600. |

Location: San Francisco, CA | Make sure you ask lots of questions before entering bid. Ask whether there are dings, dents, scratches, cracks, checks ... how much fret wear, etc.
Many forum members are active eBay bidders, you have just lowered your chance to win the auction. Hope you won't be outbid by them.
By the way, two 1619 were sold recently - $350 a few weeks ago & $489 yesterday.
Good luck. |

I bought the 1619 for $350 - 1979, excellent with no checking; case very good - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2547443065&category=33029&rd=1
and from a Vegas pawn shop - receipt inside from 1985 for $1,200; believe it was about $1,040 new. |
