Location: Chehalis, Washington | Saw that last night. I'm not sure if it's flattery or not, but they copied a ton of text directly from the auction when I sold mine. In fact, most of this listing is exactly word for word what I wrote.
I haven't had THAT happen before. |

When I listed that project guitar, I just used the same photos I bought it with. (Not the text) |

Mike, two words:

I gotta do that next time I sell something.
Just do a search for a whatever-it-is your selling,
and plagiarize the whole thing! |

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. |

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: |

I was refering to the small, blurry pics (phone camera?)in the ad. They don't show any detail of the issues discribed in the auction. 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! :) |

Location: South of most, North of few | No no no. I think I can honestly say I would not sell my 1537. (although I've said that about others that are gone now) I agree, if you're selling a guitar of that caliber, you should think out the ad a little better. |
