Location: East Wenatchee, WA | Just so whoever is bidding knows. I likely am not going to let that U681T go down for $1100. I may have to sell one of my other guitars, but it would not be right to see it go so cheap. So if you are thinking about it....better get with the program and bid it up so that I am not tempted any more. You will RUIN my Bass budget if you allow this to stay at that price...new or not. |

Location: Parrish, FL | Jeff, you need a second 1537 so that I can make space (in my wallet) for the UTE. No, I wasn't going to let go at $1100 either. I will however be on the fence observing the action, ready to pounce. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | There's a lot of time left. I'm tired of bidding and then watching the bids go crazy in the last minute or having the auction end long after my bedtime. This one has a couple of question marks above that mike make the B Stock Ute look like the better deal. |

The guy has 100% feedback with over 60+ transactions and he has sold Ovations before (including some to OFC members). If something was fishy, we would have heard about it from prior buyers who frequent this board. |

Location: Parrish, FL | Well time is running out for me. I won't be pulling the trigger on this one if I don't have a commitment on the 1537, and that isn't likely.
Could be worse, the 1537 could have sold.
Good luck to all thos with an eye on this UTE. I bought my Adamas 1681 from this seller. What I purchased was a MINT 23yr old guitar. The seller is a performing musican in western NC who plays Adamas guitars.
Bid with confidence. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | You should have told us that at first. I would have wasted a bid. I figured there was a very small chance I ever would get this off ebay, so an even smaller chance that I would incur the wrath of SWMBO. |

I slept with my dogs and they are bed hogs. No thanks! |

So...Waskel, if it's worth $400 to you today, what would it be worth after I ship it back to the mothership for a complete refurb? Say...oh around $450?
I tell you what....maybe you send me that sweet little Adamas you just bought and the $400 and I will give you a good interest rate on the note for the difference. Deal? |

Location: East Wenatchee, WA | Well....a shot has been fired across the bow for the Ute. I may have to sell my 1537 to stay at my 2 Ovation self-imposed limit, but we shall see.
At $1226, it should be a pretty good investment, no? |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I won't bid against you guys. And Jeff, if I can convince my wife that an Adamas is a different brand, you should be able to convince yourself that it doesn't violate your self-imposed Ovation limit.
The Ute is a 12 fret, wide neck, carbon fiber, slothead. It's nothing like the 1537. As you can see, I've already worked out all these arguments for my wife.
Of course, Waskel needs a 1537 if you can't win the argument with yourself. |

Location: closely held secret | Mark's right, Jeff. You won't exceed your 2 Ovation limit. Currently you have one Ovation and one Adamas. Pick up the Ute and you can still rationalize buying my 6778LX. |

Location: East Wenatchee, WA | We'll see. I am not sure I want to break the bank on it as I am very happy with the W597 now, but it just seemed a shame to see it go so cheap.
I suspect that tonight, it will ring up a bit higher. I am not excited that I have to pay by Cashiers check or MO to avoid 3.5%, and the part about the buyer dealing with insurance claims when UPS doesn't even allow that I don't think, is somewhat of a gamble, but looks like he packs stuff good so hope it works out. |
