Location: Boise, Idaho | There's a Book Elite on ebay that was listed before and the subject of a thread a couple weeks ago. The starting bid dropped by $200. It didn't get any bids last time. Might be worth it this time.
I'll see if I can do a link:

Location: Boise, Idaho | I was going to bid when I got home, but my wife asked me what this email was about. It was a shipping notice from the Calman/Christensen adoption agency. She doesn't believe that anyone would be sending me a guitar that I haven't paid for. There's no explaining the weirdness on this board.
Hope you get it Tim. Maybe we can swap back and forth. My wife knows I don't like to let go, though. |

Location: North Idaho | I have wondered if some kind of 'time-share' plan could be feasable. It would be nice to have a different guitar coming by every three or for months.
Mark, your prolific posting amazes me. You're a great communicator. |

Location: SoCal | Mark, I mailed you a couple sets of heavier strings that I picked up :confused:
I thought I'd be surprising you. I even made sure that the box for, "notify recipient via email", was NOT checked. So much for USPS Online Postage. I guess I didn't clear-out the "sender's" field either, from the last time I used it... so... hey Mark, Tony and I are sending you a couple sets of strings.
I am sorry for any excitement I might have caused. What if I make it up to you by loaning you the U681T for a while? |

Location: Boise, Idaho | That's OK, Noah. I can use some excitement. Linda was sure suspicious, though. Now I'll have no excuse to change strings, but, although I try to play all my guitars, the 1537 gets played more than all the others put together. |

Time for the next lesson. If you do it like this it doesn't make the page so wide. |

| But how do you do it like that O Wise One?
BTW - You're a quick learner Mr Attorney. It took me 16 months to work out the quote thing and 17 months to work out how to link a picture. Plainly Idaho has more than potatoes to offer. Kent is famous for fruit and beer. I only fit into one category. |

It's a age-old secret shared only by certain shamans and mystics, all of whom have taken a vow of death before we would reveal it. But since you asked, I'll tell you.
Copy the link address to the clipboard, then use the 'Full Reply Form" at the bottom of the thread page.
At any point in a sentence, or by itself, click on the 'URL' button. Paste the link address. The next box is for whatever text you want to appear as the link.
For example,
I plan to study up on British Etiquette so I can behave properly in London. |

Tim, let me know if there is anything on my list you'd like to borrow for awhile. I'm afraid you'd get the short end of that deal. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | How about a week in McCall, or a very unused boat? There are just too many guitars I'd like to buy. I'm still thinking about that 1624 and bid on a Viper that's going pretty cheap. I think I could get by for awhile on a guitar budget of only about $1000 a month. That's lunch money for the big city boys. |

Location: North Idaho | I know where your coming from. For the price, I don't think you could go wrong on the 1624. Stephent28's Book End caught my attention, but it whent by in such a hurry I was saved from the buy bug. I am a bit concerned on this one because of the gig bag. Who would put a guitar like this in a gig bag? |

Location: Boise, Idaho | My wife was relieved to find out that the package from the C/C Adoption agency, alias Noah, alias Bruce arrived today in the mailbox.
She was relieved that it fit in the mailbox. She suspected that I bought another guitar from Noah. I never asked her what other suspicions she may have had when she got the shipping notice from an adoption agency. |
