First, of course it's for sale. Just by READING the first entry of this thread, it starts with "For Sale."
How much? I said "bring offers" but for those that need somewhere to start (I've already admitted that I am new and that I don't know what it is worth, no need to keep making me feel stupid/unwelcome, thank you) and since I know nothing of what it is worth, we will say, "$2,000." Just throwing out a figure to get things started. Let's assume that I will pay the shipping. UPS Ground and packed well. Paypal, cashiers check, cleared personal check, AMX, or come and get it.
Now, pictures.
Since it isn't as easy as I had hoped to post pics, please follow these simple steps.
Go to my website: www.keywestfishtales.com
Click on the "Captains' Blog" on the toolbar at the top.
View pics of this guitar.
Sorry if I seem stressed. But, I do feel, with a couple of wonderful exceptions, not too welcomed. Originally, I was encouraged by one of your own to sell this guitar here instead of on eBay because of the "family" aptmosphere... And it does exactly seem like family... I hope Uncle Ed doesn't follow me in the bathroom like the old days.
Thank you all. |

Don't mean to make you feel unwelcome. Just frustrating if I'm sitting here writing out the check and don't know how much to make it out for.
Thanks, and WELCOME !!! |

We've been telling them, but maybe a sticky at the top of the for sale page telling people the rules might be a good idea. Might save us all some frustration, and also hurt feelings on the part of the new members. Just a thought. |

Location: east coast usa | LMB first let me say that you cant take what people say in this forum to heart. You take it with a grain of salt. If you think about I'm sure you agree with dave that you dont auction off your guitar to the highest bidder in OFC, if your just uncertain on what its worth than maybe start the thread that way or if it was me i would of gotten am opinion from people who you can trust like iffy, or musicmishka, garyb, BT717, and others. Regardless I wish you the best on the sale of your guitar, however must agree auctions are simply not what i would want to see on this site... save it for EBAY |

Location: South of most, North of few | largemouthbass, there are a few smart a--es on this site, me included, but don't take it wrong, they are all great people. (I hope to include myself). BUT, and it's a big butt,... don't come in here cutting people for their opinions. You want to sell a guitar, post a price you want for it. If you don't know what to ask, check recent sales on Ebay and go from there. If you want to post a pic, just ask and someone here will be more than glad to help out. (me included) Here's your pics...Oh, and welcome.

They must be good. Apparently the Governor of Florida likes them. |

"Called by the common name, dolphin-fish, the mahi-mahi is a fish, and is not at all related to the Delphinidae family of mammals also referred to by the common name, dolphin." |

Location: South of most, North of few | OK John, there is a mammal called a dolphin that breaths air and swims in our local waters which is what you are familiar with. There is also a FISH called DOLPHIN (by most people in the South) that usually hunts the weed lines in schools when young and in pairs when mature, offshore around the Keys and East coast of Florida amongst other areas, and is prized for it's flavor also known as Mahi Mahi in restaurants that charge way too much for it. Honest. Ask anyone who has fished the Keys what a dolphin is and they will most likely show you a picture of the fish, not Flipper. |

I've heard Mahi Mahi referred to as "dolphin-fish" - but never just as "dolphin".
Live and don't learn, that's my motto.
Have a good weekend, Jimbo. |

First of all, as I said before, welcome (again)! Would enjoy hookin' up with ya down in my fantasy playground, seriously.
Second, I tried to warn ya. Post pics and an asking price. Run it up the flag pole and see if anyone $alute$. All ya have to do is to decline any offers ya don't accept.
Last, this 'family' is the greatest group of humanity I've encountered since my military service! We're not here to slash and bash. We're here due to a common affection for Kaman guitars.
In fact, thanx to this site, I'm privileged to have met the most caring, knowledgeable, charitable and, in my case, forgiving group in my experiences (only 62 yo).
So please understand, we give our advice and even the mild admonitions as a hand, not a back hand.
OK? Now, what do I need to fork over for your fine Adamas? 
Day-um Jim, you're sure 'expanded' my horizons (in more ways than one)!
Oh, BTW, don't get me started on the dolphin vs. mahi-mahi vs. porpoise issue...  |
