Location: Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey		Wow! That looks like the exact model that Alex Lifeson (of Rush) used back in the eighties. I'll have to keep my eye on this one. There's no reserve, so it might go at a good price. It's a beauty!

Brad, hope you go the distance!

Location: SoCal		Long way from current bidding to the end sales price - assuming that additional questions don't indicate damage. Number of bidders will drop out and probably several serious bidders that haven't bid yet will step in.

Market is screwy right now but a nice 1687 w/OP-24 should sell for at least $2,000 and probably at least $2,200.

Why screwy? First of all, eBay prices for any of the upper end guitars are all over the spectrum. And, the 1687RI presented an ability to buy a new, w/warrenty, two-knobber for $2,100-2,200. Scary to buy a guitar that you haven't seen and played. A new (old style) guitar takes a lot of the risk out of the purchase. Heck, even the 1681 Adamas II reissue was $2,100-2,200.

In fact, I felt I got a good deal on a 1687-7 (yr 1987) for $1,852 May '04. These are the seller's pictures before going back to the factory for TLC.

Location: Tidal Mudflats of Virginia		Not that I think for a second that I'll walk away with this one...just thought the color goes really well against the 1187's and they would look good alongside each other on the wall.
I figure $2K is probably about right on this one, but I don't have that much spending change right now.

Location: NW Washington State		Hi-

I'm mostly a lurker here, but I do have a fair amount of eBay experience. I don't have an excuse to buy another guitar so I'm not going to be a bidder on this one. I don't know anything about the guitar or the seller.

Do you guys really consider a seller with 97.1% positive feedback a good risk? I usually get suspicious below about 98.5%, below 99% if they've had a lot of transactions. People try hard to avoid getting retaliatory negative feedback, so lots of potentially negative or neutral feedback is never left.

Requiring a USPS money order for an expensive item might mean that the seller is concerned about getting ripped off, or it might be that they want to make sure that you have no recourse if there's a problem.

Again, I don't know the seller and hope that it will be a smooth transaction for the winner.

-Steve W.
