| I just listed my blue ovation (which I have previously posted on here) on Ebay. I started the bidding at $ 0.99 with No Reserve, so happy bidding!

| they're nice guitars... they get some grief from a few here, but they are great for what they were designed for.. my son has the mob47 mid bowl, takes it to the beach, and just tosses it in the trunk or back seat after he shakes the sand out.
oil the fretboard every now and then, and keep elixirs on it.
good luck with the sale.

| Wow, how cool. This is exactly the guitar that brought me to this website.
I am wanting to purchase this guitar as my very first, and actually ran into it at a pawnshop today. This very color. The weird thing is that it is listed as brand new and looks flawless, but I read they were discontinued??
FWIW this pawn shop does stock new and used guitars. It is currently on sale for $380.
Any idea how this guitar is new and also, is that a fair price for it? |

| Oh and if the original poster had a buy it now option, it might already be bought :)
Can't stand the auction process though. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | A new one should have the warranty information and sold by an Ovation dealer. If you can't get a new warranty then it really isn't new. It's possible that there are new ones sitting around even though they are discontinued. Al Pepiak had a new 2004 30th Anniversary Custom Legend recently that some other dealer had sitting in his shop for years. |

Location: Brisbane Australia | I bought my 1581 Adamas new in 2003 and it is a 1994 model. Sat in the shop here in Brisbane unsold all those years.
There was a MOB for sale on Ebay here a week or so ago asking $1300aud
This is a good buy

AJ AJ,
I saw that MOB57 ad and couldn't believe the price! :eek: Did it sell? I can't find the posting now. What makes them so expensive 'down under'?
I have a 9.5+ MOB47 (mid depth) and case I picked up recently for $250US ($261aud). I ordered a new piezo and a black compensated saddle to match the bridge. Yes, I kept all the original parts...
I was going to use it as my 'outback' git. I'll have to reconsider unless I'm mistaking the info in the ad.
BTW, nice collection you have listed! |

The biggest problem is the shipping (the've changed the rules again) which is now about $350-$400 (was $150 8 months ago)
I know, I have a couple of stragglers still in the US.
Plus if the cost of guitar and shipping combined is more than $1000 AUD (around $900USD)
You have to pay 5% import duty and then an extra 10% tax on top of the lot.
I doubt if the MOB got a bid.
I like the red one Woody has for sale.

AJ I can appreciate the shipping/tax/duty penalties, but that MOB was in-country; plus you said it was a good price. :confused:
Maybe we should start a new thread. I DO appreciate the 'overseas' viewpoints, collections and difficulties! Without getting too political, your situation sure does make me cherish what's left of our crippled capitalistic republic!!!
...that's not even counting our 2nd Amendment!
...now back to ovationb 's regular programming... :D |

The one here in Oz was waaaay over the top.
