Happy , Happy . Joy,Joy.. Got my shadow today . What an awesome ricky ! Nice thin neck , Its got a great tone as well .No dead spots ! overall its the nicest Rick i've ever had . A looker and a player !! Thanks to everyone For the low down on the shadow . It helped me make up my mind to pull the trigger and buy it . Buy the way a friend of mine went after the one that sold a couple of days later . He bought it for a little over a grand . But it was a scam ! Thank goodness he used his paypal account and was able to get a refund on his cash . Beware fellow Rickenbrothers there are scammers everywhere .

Whether or not it is, it's intriguing. The emperor (emperor26), racist ba****d that he is, sells a lot of black Ricks and usually gives his location as "decatur, AL", just like this one does. But this one is being sold by another individual, who has not bought or sold anything on the 'Bay since June '01.

Possibly an ID theft. Possibly the emperor reactivating an old ID.

That auction looked a little suspicious.

You have to scale them down to no more than 500x500 and 34KB or so in file size. Click on "Upload Attachment" give the picture a name on the top line then navigate to where it lives on your hard drive with the browse button. Select the file and click on "Upload".
