Location: Lebanon, TN | This lady has been trying to "Sell" that guitar for over a year now. She is asking for $1,800 in the Harmony central posting which is consistent with what she has been asking since I approached her for the third time last November. Previously she had declined to name a price despite listing it on craigslist with no price listed.
As she lives close to Philadelphia I asked to see the guitar in question to consider a bid higher that the $1,400 I had budgeted. She didn't reply to me despite two reminders of my interest.
The Ebay auction closed at $1,575. She had four other bidders all of who bid $1,550 $1,450, $1,400 and $1,350, . She could easily have made a second chance offer with the level of interest she had if she wanted a sale.
She is right that the guitar is "worth" at least the $1,800 she is seeking, but as we all know in our experiences in life: property, guitars and cars are only worth what someone else will pay for it.
I have my own opinions about this seller and her expectations and her intent to sell. I post the above information only for the benefit of other members. |

| ....so you are saying that she does not want to sell it for less than $1800?
I emailed her yesterday but I did not hear back from her yet. |

Location: Lebanon, TN | I contacted the winning buyer who won the auction on Ebay:-
"I was willing to purchase the guitar but needed more verification about who she was. She would not give me a residential address or any way to track her and no paypal, Seemed too risky. What other
website did she list it on Thanks, greg"
Greg is in CA and has 26 rating on EBay....
Just reinforces my experience and opinions...Good luck Giuseppe. |

| What a mess!!!
I contacted her and she responded:
"a few minutes before the end of the auction the highest bidder from Australia (richierich1283, with feedback score of 20, positive: 25 (83.3%) and negative: 5) asked her:
Thanks Richie>
She retracted his bid.
...and then, the second winning bidder, Greg or whoever that is (96.4% positive):
"claimed that he was not able to read her description before the end of the auction because the text was weird, he did not agree with her requirements (no paypal), and asked her to deliver the guitar to a local lawyer, he kept calling her during work-hours (they talked over the phone) and although she gave him her work address he kept questioning her about her home address, method of payment, method of shipping, etc., etc"
I don't know guys...she may not want to sell it for less than $1800, but if she is right that Greg guy may not be an angel either....
ebay has become too complicated nowadays... |

Location: Lebanon, TN | LOL...yes I find it funny when I adopt some of his sayings in day to day usage and people look at me like I am trying to be funny.
I am as old and ancient as other several other crinklies on this board. Though I was wrenched away from my mother's apron strings by my child bride :-)
