Location: Brighty in Blighty | Seller currently doesn't allow foreign bidders! Argh! I've asked them to open it up to us non US O nuts.
Just wondering if anyone (perhaps in NY) would be willing to bid by proxy and / or go get the 97C for me and ship it?
A big ask I know... but hey that's why we're one big happy family. I'm looking for certain guitars here in the UK for an OFCer and would be more than happy to do the same for anyone. |

Location: Warren,Pa. | What a story this seller has! Tell you what...I'll get it for you and you can get it from me at the factory get-together in a couple of months. That way you don't have to pay for shipping.
Think about it. We all need to meet you.

Location: Brighty in Blighty | @bauerhillboy, would love to come to the factory but I'm in the UK and all my flight money has been spent on Ovations. I am due to visit Boston next summer so maybe then!
But if you are serious about getting this for me and sending via USPS I would be VERY grateful.
I'm trying to find out if there is a case, I think there isn't so the best option would be for an OFCer to get it and send to the Mothership (to have the tuning pegs repaired and a have a case made?) |

There is no case :-(
A BIN of $550 seems very good but it depends on how much a case might be!
Should I BIN it? |

Seller said she would package very well.
So here's my cunning plan. I BIN it and have shipped to a kind OFCer, they then package up for international shipping, i.e. shed loads of bubble wrap and a large guitar box and ship to me. Anyone? :) |

The original case was a Geib style case and I bet Al could get one for you that fit to ship it in. |

The 97 is on it's way to the Mothership for some R&R. |
