Also, as a collectible, his upgrade of electronics should have hurt the sale. Once I have the top refinished, it will be in basically new condition.
Small sample but appears to me that O's have been going for higher prices the last several months. |

Location: SoCal | Also reflects sellers having a higher value of the guitar they are selling. Either setting a high minimum bid or a high reserve. No sale, list it again later.
Earlier this year, I looked at a good deal as 1/4 or 1/3 of original sales price for an excellent O...this 1658 sold close to 100% of the original sales price. |

Location: Miami, FL | This was a shock. I was in the bidding and then dropped out when I thought it was getting out of the market value. The seller e-mailed me the reserve of $975.00. I responded to him advising good luck as I thought it would not even pass the reserve.
It is good to see it going for that amount as I am tired of seeing Martin 12 strings continuously pull over $1,000.00 and the Ovations sit there pulling a few hundred.
Perhaps there is an Ovation movement.

We seem to be revealing our age, but wasn't it "Holy mack'el der Amos"?

isn't it amazing the flotsom that clutters our minds.... especially when whole decades seem to be missing.... someone told me that we went through something called "Disco" during the '70s... I guess my mind was otherwise occupied at the time.... ahem

I think seesquare is right. I've got the entire series on DVD. Those guys are still funny as hell. Lightnin' kills me, so does Calhoun the disbarred lawyer. My only excuse is I didn't know how to spell *Mack'el*! :)

I bow to the masters! And I feel sooooooo much better! Imagine TWO people who have more flotsom in the brain than me! :D

Location: Pacific Northwest Inland Empire | Uh-huh, Tim, and I, truthfully, resemble that remark. I want to clarify, however, I know this trivia so well because my father and uncles used to do Amos & Andy routines, verbatim, at family gatherings, after copious application of distilled spirits. Unfortunately, they weren't a very musical bunch, so that portion of my artistic training was, woefully, neglected. Picking up musical insrument proficiency in middle age is a trifle daunting, to be sure. As you see, I suffer from a chronic, and refractory, case of Dictionary Breath. |
