Location: SoCal | eagle, why did you even start this thread... you knew what would happen. If you really wanted friendly helpful advice, why didn't you first ask all those guys who sent you those supportive private messages that you wrote about ? |

Location: SoCal | I've only read part of this but lack of information has never stopped me before...especially after a little Brandy.
Sure, Pacemaker is a good guitar, maybe $250-$400. Glen Campbell is an excellent guitar, maybe $300-$750. Custom Legend 1158/1658 is a great guitar, maybe $700-$1,200.
This looks like it is in good condition but it is still on the low end of the Ovation models.
Bottom line, I really doubt that you will get over $400 for it. No, I am not in the market as I have the Custom Legends. And, is it worth more? Yes. Will you get your price? Hope that you will.
The members of the OFC are probably more knowledgeable about Ovation and Adamas models than the typical buyer. Offer a guitar for market value, might get a buyer. Yet, often a guitar offered on the OFC doesn't find a buyer and has to be listed on Craig List, eBay, or whatever.
Noah is a respected and knowledgeable individual about Ovation and Adamas, as well as other guitars. He, as I, are skeptical (and, for good reason). Newbies don't win in a war with words.
Somehow, you have alienated a number of OFC'ers. My suggestion is that you take a deep breath, then consider how you can start over. This is an amazing group - knowledgable, considerate, wierd, off-topic, etc. Sometimes takes a thick skin, often a supportive group. Take a look through the archives (vault) and you will see the soul and heart of the individuals and OFC as a group. |

| Tony I saw all of that until Noah suggested that I did something wrong on Ebay. The fact is he was dead wrong and his thoughts should be kept to himself unless he can prove something he says.
He may be respected by many of you but not by me because he wasn't man enough to say exactly what he was thinking he could only imply.
Once again he was wrong, I even had to ask the winning bidder to come here to explain herself to prove I did nothing wrong.
I know there are good people here I have heard from several who are not involved in the threads.
In every Forum there are a select few who are trouble makers, Noah in my opinion is one of those. He had his opinion of me and what he thinks I did and no matter what I did to try and show him I wasn't what he thought, he kept on implying that I was.
All I did was come here and talk about the guitar I had for sale, I was offered $750 and thought about ending the auction early but someone ( might have been Noah ) suggested that I should not do that since I listed it I should leave it and let the bidders determine the value. I did that, I found out later the $750 was a scam or joke.
I was offered $600 by the music store I had it checked out at and may sell it to him if I can't get more.
I respect your opinion about the value of the guitar, I never wanted to come here and fight but Noah wouldn't let it rest so I fought back.
I'm a former PI and I take my reputaion very seriously.. So I ask you where do I go to get my good reputaion back???
If Noah would keep his wrong thoughts to himself you wouldn't see me act the way I do towards him.
As far as you being skeptical I can't control that but you have handled it with much more class than Noah.
I won't just sit here while someone tried to ruin my reputaion... |

Location: SoCal | eagle, Please go back and read every post that I made regarding that auction. I only brought to light anomilies in the bidding and auction outcome. The issues I noted are classic examples of red-flags that are pointed out in eBay tutorials on Safe Bidding.
I did not draw any conclusions or attack your reputation. I had nothing to do with your auction or the thread that accompanied it. As far as the $750 you were offered, you should go back and read that thread, I was not there and someone else was advising you.
I have reviewed every comment I have made to you or regarding you, and I must say, I have been much more respectful to you than you have been to me and others. I have also read the disrespectful responses that other members have made to you, yet you are not crying to Tony about what the rest of the gang has said.
You say, "he wasn't man enough to say exactly what he was thinking he could only imply". You are wrong. I said exactly what I was thinking and I did not judge you. These guys will confirm that I am the last person to write someone off. There is a difference between trying to make sense of irregularities and accussing someone of wrong doing. If I show you an irregularity and you immediately interpret it as an accusation, that is your problem. My opinion is that your excessively defensive posture created the situation that you are in.
If you really believed that "Noah" was your problem, you would have contacted me privately and we would have worked out any issues. Instead, your attitude was, "I don't have to prove anything to anyone", but then you set out on a crusade to prove everything to everyone.
I have reminded you that we have minors and women visiting the site, yet you continue to use foul language. You exhibit no respect and this is where the Troll comes in... you have no respect for this site, its members, or what it stands for. |

Location: GA USA | Dudes! Eagle, you may have dug yourself too deep a hole here to be a respected member of the club. Why not rejoin under a new name and play nice? Pretend you're a kid wanting to buy a guitar from a friend. After 4 or 5, we'll figure out what's going on, but by then you'll have made a fortune in resales. |

What's a guy have to do to get verbally berated and publicly chastised around here? Unless you're Jeff W, then you just need to post...
Seriously, I get peaved when someone comes in with the sole purpose to make a sale and then treats us like we are stupid. |

The Monty Python sketch comes to mind...
Man: Ah. I'd like to have an argument, please.
Receptionist: Certainly sir. Have you been here before?
Man: No, I haven't, this is my first time.
Receptionist: I see. Well, do you want to have just one argument, or were you thinking of taking a course?
Man: Well, what is the cost?
Receptionist: Well, It's one pound for a five minute argument, but only eight pounds for a course of ten.
Man: Well, I think it would be best if I perhaps started off with just the one and then see how it goes.
Receptionist: Fine. Well, I'll see who's free at the moment.
(Pause)
Receptionist: Mr. DeBakey's free, but he's a little bit conciliatory. Ah yes, Try Mr. Barnard; room 12.
Man: Thank you.
(Walks down the hall. Opens door.)
Mr Barnard: WHAT DO YOU WANT?
Man: Well, I was told outside that...
Mr Barnard: Don't give me that, you snotty-faced heap of parrot droppings!
Man: What?
Mr Barnard: Shut your festering gob, you tit! Your type really makes me puke, you vacuous, coffee-nosed, malodorous, pervert!!!
Man: Look, I CAME HERE FOR AN ARGUMENT, I'm not going to just stand...!!
Mr Barnard: OH, oh I'm sorry, but this is abuse.
Man: Oh, I see, well, that explains it.
Mr Barnard: Ah yes, you want room 12A, Just along the corridor.
Man: Oh, Thank you very much. Sorry.
Mr Barnard: Not at all.
Man: Thank You. (Under his breath) Stupid git!! |
