I just got off the phone with the VERY NICE fella Gary who's desperate for survival money right now. I just met him tonight, his son is selling this guitar for him. He's been a lifelong Ovation solid body collector and has bought pieces from our very own Samova!
Gary explained to me that he's been thru the mill healthwise and has a house payment due, all sorts of catching up to do, and would love to bargain with someone who really wants a gorgeous Deacon in their collection.
He seems sincere, has a paypal account and if someone is will to pay the starting bid on the auction he'd have his son end the auction for that person to get the guitar at that price.
My heart went out for the guy.. call him yourself and see the vibes you get! If I had the extra cash I would take the chance but I'm into some people here for some righteous bucks right now and I can't help Gary out at the moment, unfortunately, or I most certainly would for a mint 6 sting Deacon! You know me! hahahaa
I got good vibes.. hopefully you will too and Gary can make his overdue house payments! Gary's cell number is in the auction description and he'll accept calls anytime of the day/night.
Thanks for me, for this poor fella Gary, and if any board will give from the heart I'm sure this is the board that will.
God bless! Michael Joseph Kramer |

I wish him the best on the sale and with his troubles. |

I have spoken with the gentleman and have put a bid up for $800. So either I'll buy it for $800 or someone will out bid me and this guy will win out either way. He seems to be happy with this strategy.
Regards,
Tom |

Location: Stratford, Connecticut | You're a great man Tom! God bless ya.. I'm very happy for Gary.. at least he can get thru this month's bills... He said he has a Magnum 1 bass too but it's not currently in his possession. Hopefully he'll get that back too.. he should be able to get something for that as well.
All the best brother.. good job, well done!
