The guy gives a good description, I'm always leary however, of folks who dealt with a few small transactions, then all of a sudden have a 4K item to sell.

Well,Dave and Marc you guys have 5 days to figure this one out.

I think a three year old eBay account is pretty safe, even with only a few positive feedbacks, and it's difficult to defraud someone using credit card payments, even via PayPal. VISA and Mastercard both pride themselves highly on their e-transaction safety, and will investigate any inappropriate use of their cards by either buyer or seller. I've done this three times, and got my money back every time. Unlike PayPal, the credit card companies themselves will even investigate inaccurate descriptions, and damaged items, rather than just non-delivery(which is all PayPal does, and then only gives a partial refund anyway!).

Well, I'll ask it again,

Before I pursue this to far, does anyone else here want it???

Its yours!

i've got a bid on it but won't be heart broken to be outbid. it'll go much higher than my max.

Sean, I’m not going to bid on this one….

I believe that a $4K to $5K price is correct for a BG or an AZ Blue 4080, or any 4080/12.

How many could there be of them, each?????

To me, the WHT, MG and JG look to be relatively abundant.

However, the guitar is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.
I see this one going for over $4K.

I must be honest, I did contact the seller to try and work out a reasonable deal.
NO GO…..

I paid $2,300.00 for my white one, and $2,000.00 for my beat MG.

Besides, a 362/12 is next on my “to get” list.

I wouldnt mind looking at this one just to see one up close. It's here in the same city I'm in but I play bass and that six string that comes along for the ride would be wasted on me. I'm still trying to sell my 4001 C64S to fund a Hofner purchase so I shouldnt even be looking at guitars

If he lets it go for 4, he's taking a beating...

dswp · Post by **dswp** » Mon Sep 26, 2005 10:26 am

Dane, that last one on the bay, went for $4050.

Criminal! But if you need the money, you need the money...hope it went to a good home, at least.

The bid's only $1025!?!?? I have to place a bid, but I expect it'll go much higher than I can afford. Nevertheless, one must at least try. I've always wanted one of those babies. I'll put in my 2 cents & then wish you good luck Dave.
