I'd say: money on delivery

Nice V63, I think Ken should go for it, what do you guys think?

Not the Chinese auction, the real one!

It's exactly the same pic. Look at the hardwood floor, not the bass. Unless this guy's got dual citizenship, 2 basses exactly the same, & a teleportation device!

The US one looks legit at first glance, though.

Are you saying the US auction is not legit?

kcole4001 · Post by **kcole4001** » Sun Oct 09, 2005 3:06 pm

No, US looks good. Good pics of serial #, etc. I just didn't scan it too intensely as I've spent my cash for the year. Looks a beauty, & not a bad price either. Sorry for misinformation!

No skunk stripe on these models? I'm not familiar with the series.

kcole4001 · Post by **kcole4001** » Sun Oct 09, 2005 3:17 pm

No, guess not. Would look better with, but then it wouldn't be a v63.

Hmmmm.....interesting. Having brief conversation with self! Too much WD40!

This seller in China has a lot of Ricks for sale at under$100.00 U.S. currency. There's a "60's" Mapleglo for $68.00 sum ting wong here! maybe an international scam going on. I see he has a few bids on some of his guitars. Someone will lose their money on these guitars they don't have.

I just talked to the rightful owner and he was unaware of the China sale of his Bass for $86.49 great deal if you can get it. It's all a fraud. The guy also has lots of other Ricks for sale that he doesn't have.
