I didn't want to add to this until now, since I was one looking onto getting this S/8 and I didn't want to call anymore attention to this thread. Obviously we should be able to discuss instruments for sale, however we should be careful and use some discretion with what we say publicly. This type of thread should be in the For Sale section. Certain questions can be asked behind the scenes to someone you think might have the answer. That's one of the reasons why we now have the ability to PM and email others right from the forum.

The regular members of the forum are here to help each other as well as new members and are happy to do so. We can all take advantage of that, we just have to think about how we ask about and post instruments for sale before we do so.
JETGLO should officially be renamed JETGLO ROCKS! :-)

I remember when I got my LK, some jack :evil: ss got the store info here and called the shop with a higher price-after it was sold :evil:. Even had the nerve to ask who it was that bought it.

And yes, it was a (former) forum member... :roll:, long gone but still remembered.

Lesson learned as well.
Buy it before someone else does
