Where to Buy Used Online?

The stock of used Rickenbackers in Indianapolis is few and far between, so I'm looking online for trustworthy places to shop for a Rickenbacker 330 or 360 (haven't decided yet). I'm always looking on eBay, but I'm sure there's some actual shops online that have used Ricks. I know Ed Roman has a large stock, but I've read a bit about his shop and been told to stay clear.

Three I've had good luck with–
1) Pick of the Ricks: http://www.pickofthericks.com
2) Mike Parks: http://www.the-music-connection.com/ric.htm
3) Rhoads Music: http://members.aol.com/rhoadsmusi/store.html

Hope this helps.

Indy,

Also it's worth trying the wanted section here at The Rickenbacker Forum.

Many of these fine folks have made some very satisfing transactions. A classy group of people all around.

Thanks everyone. I just finished calling literally every music store in Indianapolis and the surrounding area and absolutely no one has anything used aside from a few 650 models here and there.

I'm steering clear of vintage Ricks because I simply don't have the money for them -- I just need that Rick tone. I've applied for a membership on the Vox Talk forums to check out their classifieds, but haven't received my password yet.

Wow! Check out the turquoise 381V69 at Dave's Guitars! I am partial to figured tops on these, but this one is gorgeous!
