I have two guitars someone might be interested in. Selling is part of GAS therapy. LOL

First is a CC24S. The 'S' stands for solid spruce top, which IMHO sounds 10X better than the laminate tops. This ain't no Legend, but it plays and sounds very nice and is a great starter or backup instrument. This is also the prettiest Ovation guitar I've ever owned. I really like the simple abalone ring around the soundhole, the conservative burst and the general lack of bling. It has a mid-depth bowl. It has been professionally set up and is currently wearing a set of Elixirs, which I think give it the best sound. Has usual pick scuffing, "glossing" of the neck due to playing and a few dings on the tail. Otherwise in nice shape. Comes with a hard-shell case. Asking $250, which does not include shipping (around $50 last time I shipped a guitar, but I'll give you the exact price to your address).

Second offering is a CV68 Viper. I got this one from a guy who bought it new intending to learn to play and never did. He said it sat in his closet for a decade or more in the case. When I got it, the electronics had been fried, possibly because it's easy to put the 9-V battery in backwards. But not sure. Anyway, I got ahold of a new unit, so all the electronics work again. Has VERY light pick scuffing, a small bonk in the top that's so slight I really couldn't get a pic of it, and some finish lifting around the pre-amp. Otherwise, it looks brand new. However, it also has a slight dip in the neck that prevents you from playing the G,B and high E strings above the 16th fret. The pro that set it up said there's not much you can do except replace the neck. I never play up that high so it never bothered me. Otherwise, plays nice and sounds good. Comes with an original hard shell case. Looking for $300 for this one, not including shipping.
