Location: SoCal | Check this out, current bidding at $3,775 USD. Bill has #1 he'd probably sell for half that...I have one I would sell for 1/4 that.
Must be the warm beer.

Location: Sunshine State, Australia | That's $5000 Australian. I noticed it a couple of days ago when the bidding was at around the $300AUD mark. I was concerned that such a fine USA made Ovation wasn't getting any interest as I will soon be selling a 1768 Elite, and I want at least $2000AUD for it.
I wonder if I'll get 5 grand for mine - it's 20 years newer!
And we DON'T drink warm beer in Australia!!!!!
(Reminds me of a joke I heard when I lived in Canada-
Question; What has making love on a river bank got in common with American Beer?
Answer; F*cking near water!)
Hope that doesn't get me kicked off the forum as I've just joined. |

sorry, guess I was remembering when the Marines "procured" their field generator in I Corps many years ago. :eek: |

Location: Central Florida | I emailed this guy when he started his auction and suggested--in not so many words--that he was gonna be very dissapointed if he really thought he would get anywhere near 25K for it. I also suggested that rather than risk violating Ebay rules by refusing to part with it if he didn't get "a respectable offer or price," to just put a reserve on it. His response was "I don't have to put a reserve on it, and no one can make me sell it if I don't want to." He then asked me to make him an offer. I wrote back and offered him my best good luck wishes on his auction.
