I sure hope that we start hearing about these rolling out in November sometime, or it's going to be tough to have them all done by Christmas. Fingers crossed.

Thanks for the lead Bob. I just picked another one up.

Jim, I think he is charging full retail. I paid more for it from him than I did my local dealer. He has one more still available. Call Charlie at 518-383-0300. If you call please let him know that you read it here on the RickResource Forum.

Good Luck!

Some of the dealers are charging full MSRP, other's aren't.

I wonder what the dealer who held onto the 3 Lemmy's is going to charge! Image

Nice work Jim. I'm the guy in Idaho.

Thanks Bob! That was a good catch. I wouldn't have imagined that a dealer had any left, yet alone 2 of them.

Neat Brian, I was dealing with Matt-M at Parkway and I did mention Charlie and the Forum and he was delighted.

I still a little doubtful that all the 75th will be delivered between now and year end, but I'm in no rush.

Bob, thanks for the outstanding lead.

On another note, this is my first non-Fireglo Ric !!

I was looking for a 660, Parkway is selling them at full list. I passed on it.

Way to go Jim. I always knew you would expand your horizons. I doubt they will all be ready to go by the end of the year, but I'm not worried either. As I've said before, it gives me something to look forward to. Glad you were able to scoop it up.

Gerald, I don't remember what full retail was, but I'm sure that is what they charged. The other one I ordered was $1599 so I just average them out and I feel good about the overall price. I will probably end up selling one of them after they appreciate a bit.

Thanks Brian ... the colour is a relative to Fireglo so won't look too bad along side the rest of the Ladies.

The price we got from Parkway was $2139 is according to the Ric site "full retial", but still worth it.

I should be on the list as well.

Grayson's Tune Town was my contribution to all of the 75th seekers, and he let me get the last 4003 he had available.
