Are you guys sure these things are rare?! It seems that every time one sells on Ebay, another one pops up! Sometimes they're on Ebay two at a time!

This one has really nice wood.

John, that's the reason WHY they are coming out of the woodwork....the big $$$$$$

That's a nice one with that '67 FG, but Jeff's right, you see one every week for sale!

Rare...try finding a '67 4001 Deluxe.

Yep, '67 was THE year for the 4005's. Is there even a '67 4001 deluxe out there? All i've got to go by is the Smith book and the '67 records are oddly missing.

John,

I know of an absolute beauty...

$4550.00!

With so long to go this is just nuts, or shilling to get the price up there. The other 4005 is sitting at over $7000 with the reserve still not met

"...shilling to get the price up there."

Given the profiles of the bidders, it isn't shilling.

Hmm, one of those profiles looks like mine...

If I had one I would sell it ...

Hard to tell with the new privacy policy in place for bidders, although I'm sure you'd recognise your own.

Mine's on the block because of 2 things:

1) some debt that I need to clear
2) selling my 4005 will clear it all

DAMN!!! Really wish I didn't have to do this!

Looks like the wrong week to try to sell a 4005...

I just need Jared to post a certain pic now...
