| Hello OFC Friends...
While on the way to procuring an Adamas - I wandered and sent the email offering to buy this beauty... but alas... four days with no reply by the seller...
http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lgb/msg/2969000557.html
Hope it happens...

| I've been on both sides with craigslist flakes... I had to back out of a transaction on the seller side once.
Paisleys house... ha ha (peewee herman voice)
Perfectly filthy... well - I thought I saw finger prints in one of the other pics... so much for mint...
PREFECT - prefectly unobtainable...
and shipping to OHIO... actually I would do that - just give me three or four months with it and it can be yours next - of course that presumes the guitar is actively being shopped - perhaps he/she has a spam blocker keeping craigslist.com from forwarding my email!
Who knows...

still no phone number...
Back on the 8th when it was re-advertised I responded by clicking the craigslist link and sent the email...
Three days with no response.

Would one of you kindly kindly also respond to the and let them know carlspacbellemail@gmail.com is trying to contact them... perhaps my email is spam-blocked???
Or is pursuing this craigslist ad a waste of time?

Location: Upper Left USA | I have met some very nice people while swapping/selling via CL but you should always protect yourself and mitigate what you are getting into.
To me CL is an easy Online Garage Sale venue. When it becomes more of a Bussiness venture then it needs to somewhere else... like Ebay. |

| carry?
then I would be out... even a "prefect" flame Ovation is not worth being armed and willing to use lethal force as part of the acquisition process...
we'll see... I have no confidence this transaction will ever happen anyway. |

Carl, it's an O. Come on. You gotta want it!
And...it makes for a tremendous story to tell the grand kids. |

But have them meet you in front of the Police Station or Court House (during business hours).
That will limit any problems if you are concerned.

Location: Ohio | You're absolutely right. I wouldn't carry as a means to acquire anything or even protect property for that matter. I wouldn't hesitate to use it to save my own life or the life of a loved one though. Generally speaking I don't carry. I am licensed though and I carry when I feel it's warranted.
