| With much hesitation I am posting this question, As most of you know by now I don't play the guitar however I am thinking about adding guitars to my Ebay business, whenever I can find one I will see if I can buy it and resell for a profit. Now I know some of you will think that is like the devil but we all have to make money somehow and I have chosen Ebay.
Now with all that out of the way what is a Ovation Celebrity Deluxe CS245 worth? I haven't seen it yet but it's local so I can go look at it in the morning, the seller wants $450 and I am offering $350 he says it has a few minor surface cracks. Are those common or should they be a red flag?
I would like to be a member of this forum but my reasons are different than most of you, I hope you can understand. |

Cost/benefit ratio. Calculate the differential in sale outcome between A/E & acoustic-only. If you could do a bit of "bodywork", the preamp might significantly increase the purchase outcome, and speed.
EaglePI, if you're still monitoring these proceedings, don't go away mad; just go away. We want to discuss virtues & intrisic issues, not just merchandising.
You retain your freedom of speech rights, but this doesn't appear to be a receptive forum for your espoused intentions.
Good luck with your Ebay business. I assure you many of us will be monitoring your offerings. Thank you for that, anyway. |

Location: ranson,wva | thanks chris,hell who knows? i was planning on selling the 1567ssb but after i got it home and unscrewed all the screwups,its now one of my favorite players. i didnt like how the black top came out so i took the black paint off and im gonna level the glued crack the best i can and say to hell with it. ive got a op24 here packed away somewhere and ive got a stacked tone/vol that i think i can rebuild the circuitry in it..i wanna use a thinline pup because i dont wanna route the slot and the thin saddles sound better unplugged....ive got a few options with it...
ive got give or take $200.00 in it including the nice brown case and probly 60hrs of work in it.jason |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | EaglePI-- Kinda political statement-- Profiteeting idiots is the reason why gasoline prices are so high.
The reason why I shop on E-baaa is to get a good deal. If some-one snags a good deal, just to sell it for a profit, that kinda defeats the whole purpose... Y'know?
If I wanted to (or could afford to) pay full price, I would just go to one of seven music stores in my hood, and get one. And probably get a discount on later fret-jobs and straps.
Think about what the other people on this site's priorities are... And look-up "Community" in the dictionary.
Enough serious-ness for one day! |

| Old Man Arthur,
I can understand your view but isn't the american business way to buy low and sell high??
that is how everyone in this country makes money no matter what business you are in.
I see nothing wrong with all of you Ovation collectors collecting them but everyone wants to make money. If you think people on Ebay don't buy low to sell high you are mistaken.
I'm not forcing any of you to buy the guitars I plan to sell, I only try to let you folks know in advance before listing on Ebay.
I really don't understand all the hate I feel here in this forum. I do understand you all have the right to state your mind and I am willing to listen, I'll response if it makes sence to otherwise I'll just let the people who read and don't post as much judge what is going on. |

I really gotta take E-baaa off of my tool-bar. I got three guitars, and UPS is dropping-off a GC057 tomorrow.
I need to start on the Pawn Shops now! And Apple Music Row is having a Blow-Out Sale. |

I'm actually very smart, I just like giving haters something to do. I was attacked for no reason and because I come to a for sale Ovation forum and try to "Sell" a guitar all the natives get restless.........lol
It's beyond trying to explain so now I am just playing along. |

Location: SoCal | eagle, it was your tactics which turned people against you. We see through you man. You have not been the first guy to come around here trying to dump stuff.
As far as brains... you post at November 19, 2006 21:46 and then anaislily posts at November 19, 2006 21:47. Probably coincidental, but the more you do and say, the harder it becomes to build trust.
As far as buying and selling guitars... well, I think you have a half baked idea there... if you don't know anything about guitars and don't play, how are you going to evaluate guitars prior to buying them? |

| Noah,
I said I commuicated with her and asked her to come here and set the record straight. That is why she came shortly after I posted, come on you are smarter than that aren't you.
As for dumping "stuff" the Model 115 is a beautiful guitar as many of you stated already so dumping is the wrong word. Just face it Noah, you implied I was doing something wrong on Ebay and I asked the winning bidder to come here and explain in her words to prove you wrong.
You claim to be a Ebay experienced seller so you should know that a Ebay sellers reputation is everything and your attempts to question mine was uncalled for.
As for my half baked idea.....lol I'll get the info I need before buying to resell don't lose any sleep over that ok?? ;) |

Location: SoCal | yep, just coincidence... you post tonight at 9:46, she posts at 9:47. I am glad that the two of you are so close and connected. I'll admit that I've been on the phone with one of the guys and both posting at the same time. As I said, I'm glad that the two of you are so close.
An email and a post are not too convincing. The more you give me to work with, the easier you make a confirmation attainable.
After reviewing my comments, I never questioned your eBay seller's reputation. I believe that the anomalies of the bidding and the auction's outcome are not flattering for the Seller. |

| Sorry to disappoint you Noah, I have not communicated with her since the other day when I asked her to come here and post. If you think that 2 people who have a interest in the threads might just be looking at them at the same time without each of them knowing the other is, you are a fool.
Stop implying have some balls say what you think I did or shut the fuck up |

What should a Ovation Celebrity Deluxe CS245 sell for
