I thought that we had put an end to this with the timely death standing O? :p :D :p
I think I should be able to get at least $3K for my 1763. It's only got one ding, one finsih crack, Oh and it's an FRG, but it has ebony tuners, "very special" strings, and sounds great... :rolleyes: |

Well... the dude dropped his shipping to $86.50 What a bargain! Not.
Then... did you guys take a look at his previous feedback? When I looked at the whole basic attitude, it looks like he's REAL PROUD of the stuff he owns. Lots of complaints of his stuff being less of a quality than in the ad....
He also has more than a few complaints about dings and defects in stuff and then blames the buyers. I personally don't believe that many buyers damage their goods right after buying.
Definitely not a nice person - I'd pass on anything this guy had to sell.
Methinks he's been out in the sun too long in his cornfield. |

I just got THIS letter from this nut...
Listen up Greg, if you have nothing better to do than to belong to an "Out of Date" Guitar Fan Club and spend hours composing a letter in a vain attempt to build yourself up, you're wasting your time my friend. Guess this guy really knows his guitars...after all, he has 50 classicals! I sent him the spreadsheet that Ovation put out showing the retail prices on guitar that they have built from 71-05...don't guess he appreciated the gesture :D |

"new" doesn't equate to "good". |

I would have no interest at any price in a guitar offered by someone who is selling it in addition to a lot of other "stuff" on ebay. His 49 other classicals are probably just part of the inventory he's churning.
His shipping has come down to sixty-something dollars, though. That baby's gonna fly out of there any day now. |

Remember when certain characters used to sell cars by smashing the windshield with a sledge hammer or their dog Spot had sharp claws and a mane? |

He's probably all excited about the interest in his item - given he's up to almost 300 hits on the dumb thing now. Too bad most of those are probably from us idiots in this outdated fan club, huh? |

Did you guys catch that he took out a loan for this one but it's only been played 4 times since '76?
Maybe that loan is due, 'eh? |

If someone does bid on this, I will be forever amazed at the depth of human stupidity. |
