In fact, most of this listing is exactly word for word what I wrote. I haven't had THAT happen before. | ||

Joined: May 2004 Posts: 2850 Location: Midland, MI | Originally posted by Grif: Not just for Ovations. It's a buyers' market in general, based on the brands I've been watching (no, I'm not buying!). I have a couple of electrics I was going to offload as part of my Grand Plan, but once I started looking at what the market was yielding on those models...uh-uh. I'm pretty pessimistic that it's going to improve much in the fall, too. YMMV.the market for Ovations is in a free-fall right now. Good for buyers, crap for sellers. | ||

If the manufacturers insist on making phones that do things other than phone calls, why not integrate something useful...like a cordless drill, perhaps. :rolleyes: | ||

Anyone interested knows what a 1537 looks like but it would be nice to see details of the minor flaws...less chance of surprises. Is this your auction? Did I put my foot in it? I do that from time to time! :) | ||
