Location: Upper Left USA | No, but its a good thing. I attended a two day Workshop and got the bug to play electric by listening and learning from Ben Gowell (Paul Baloche Band).
The Viper is perfect for this.
Now all I have to do is get a hold of a Boss TU tuner, Boss DD20 delay with tap switch, Compressor, Chorus, Tube Screamer and a Tremolo!
That and learn how to play guitar... |

To me, "a little paranoia", is just a heightened sense of awareness, or commom sense. Attention to detail, noticing things out of place, and pattern recognition, are observation skills that can keep you out of trouble.
That winning bidder, anaislily1969, has an eye for vintage Ovation guitars. Maybe she will drop by and straighten everything out. Until then, I guess I'll remain confused about the anomalies in that auction. |

| Noah you keep this paranoia going with false statements, when everyone else accepts what happened. Who says that anaislily1969, has an eye for vintage Ovation guitars, maybe she was just looking for a guitar and changed her mind. You're talking to a Private Investigator who is well aware of "heightened sense of awareness, or commom sense. Attention to detail, noticing things out of place, and pattern recognition, are observation skills that can keep you out of trouble."
If you are worried then ignore me and my posts, the sad part is I doubt you even are interested in my guitar, just wanting to cause others to worry for nothing.
If anyone else beside Noah is interested in my guitar I will ask her to come here and post her explaination as to why she asked to be let out of the deal with my coaxing... As for Noah, relax and stop trying to cause problems |

Location: SoCal | eagle, I have only brought to light anomalies I saw in that auction. You, and everyone here, knows that I have not made any false statements.
If bringing to light the anomalies of that auction causes you a problem, then I am truely sorry, but it is what it is.
I agree with you when you say, "everyone else accepts what happened"... I think we all see it the same way.
Why don't you relist the guitar on eBay with a $600 BIN w/Make an Offer? |

| Noah,
My plans are to list it here and let someone who appreciates a Ovation guitar have a chance to buy it.
It would help if you kept your opinion of anomalies in my auction to yourself. You are implying without say that something was fishy with the auction which is totally false, you've also made untrue statements, you don't know her expertise in Ovations yest you stated that she had some.
If you are not interested leave it alone it's none of your business. |

Location: Upper Left USA | The OFC is all about having an opinion. I have had several and will, no doubt formulate and share one or two more in the future.
My opinion at this time is that you are one of two possibilities:
A) a new OFCer that really loves his 1615 and holds a high value on it's worth. You made a rookie mistake of not using a reserve and then talked a not-too-committed Buyer into letting it go. Easy enough to understand and not too far from some of my actions at times. I recently attempted three times to sell a nice Viper for $700 and repeatedly the market said they would not pay more than $500.
Like the intro says, Ovations don't get the respect they deserve. You have a very nice Pacemaker but I would be amazed if it goes for more than $500 in an open market. We know they are Worth more but the market sets the Price.
B) You are a fly-by-night Seller that dropped in with the sole purpose of selling your instrument in an online board full of Ovation enthusiasts. You used the "Hurry-up before somebody else buys it" venue (figuratively not literaly) of bull on at least three occasions and you have vehemently brushed back anyone that said "Wait a minute, is this for real". The offer for $750 was either a scam in the making on the Buyer's part or your part because it never came to completion.
The proof will come in time and I would be more than happy to apologize if Option A is the end result.
I recently had a good friend with his third kid on the way get bilked for $2700 because he was honest and expediant in his transactions. If I see the signs in a rtransaction and I don't say something, I will feel that I have let down my OFC Brothers and Sisters.
Hang around Eagle-pi. Get to know us. There are several OFCers I would take a bullet for. Hopefully small caliber and in a meaty part but all the same.
I trust Noah and I see what he sees.
You mess with the Trailer park, you mess with the whole trailer park.
Prove me wrong. |

Location: SoCal | eagle, I am not stopping anyone from buying a guitar. I actually help members acquire guitars. If one of the members here wrote me and said they had to have a guitar, but could not pull it off, I would help them as much as I could.
So the only untrue statement is that I said, "anaislily1969, has an eye for vintage Ovation guitars". I assumed that she "had an eye for" them because she was feverishly bidding on one. I did not state anything about her expertise in Ovations. I am glad that you know her so well and can attest to her lack of expertise in Ovations. I stand corrected.
We talk about eBay auctions all the time here. Our observations about anomalies in auctions help some of the inexperienced bidders from being scammed, buying guitars with undisclosed issues, overpaying due to shill bidding, etc, etc.
We try not even to play price police here, but I can see that some of the real experts gave you their opinions of what those guitars have been going for. Members try to guide others and help others from making mistakes.
If you came here to just sell a guitar, I will still be here long after you are finished with us. |

| This is the last time I will address this issue, I stated that I didn't play guitar and got this one from someone I know. My ONLY desire is to sell the guitar so where does someone go to try and sell a Ovation guitar??? maybe a Ovation lovers forum, a unqiue idea huh?
As for me knowing the winning bidder ( once again implying I did something wrong ) I know her better than you because I have communicated with her about the Ebay auction. Her feverish bidding was 3 bids......lol
I didn't use a resever price because I was offered $600 from a guy at a music store when I had it checked out, I said no, why? because I felt I could get more on ebay.
I came here to let "Ovation lovers" my words, know of the auction at first it was a nice place to visit, would I come back?? who knows back then. I have received personal messages from some of you supporting me against the attacks from Noah and his buddies.
If I fall into any category it is "A" I chose not to use a resever price and when the winning bidder showed me the littlest bit of doubt I took it and ran with it because I didn't want to sell the guitar for $380
Not sure what more I can say, that is the true and for those of you who don't believe it then so be it....
Thank you for the ones of you who have been supportive on my behalf. Maybe Noah will find someone else to pick on soon and I can go on with the sale of my guitar |

| Tupperware,
Like I said I don't play the guitar I only came here to let people who like Ovations know I had one that I was selling. What is so wrong about that, if it hurts your feelings I'll come back time to time and say hi... |

Location: SoCal | eagle, I am not picking on you. I only brought to light anomalies in an auction that are identified as classic red flags in eBay tutorials about safe bidding. If you search the archives, this is not the first time that red flags in an eBay auction has come up in a thread. If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it probably is a duck.

If you want that $600, why don't you go back to that music store and take them up on their offer? That appears simpler then putting up with us idiots that know nothing about Ovations. You evidently feel you know more then us, because you felt you could get more on eBay. You were obviously wrong and your bidding shows it.

Eagle, I'm sure you are a fine person and I mean you no ill will. It's a fine line when you join a club such as this for the sole purpose of selling your guitar. Some will see it as a wonderful service that you offer to people that you know are passionate about ovations. others will see it as being opportunistic (sp) and just using the OFC to benefit yourself. Anyway, good luck with your sale, either here or on ebay. maybe you'll get what you're asking. Good luck with anaislily. One word of advice, I would highly recommend that you not have your children sign in and come to your defense. All the best. Dave |
