No, but I've heard of scams involving second chance offers. It could well be legitimate, but I'm hesitant to take a chance. However, someone else may be more adventurous than I.

Sounds "scammy" to me, Ron...

ESPECIALLY with a "zero"!! Normally, a zero doesn't have a clue how to do a second chance offer....

RUN....RUN like the wind from this one!!!

Or...do whatever you want...it's your money

Hey guys-

I think this may be of interest to you. I saw the auction on the 4001CS also(the one with the zero feedback seller). I threw out a low-ball bid just for fun on the auction about 2 hours into it. The auction was cancelled by EBAY and the following message was sent to me by EBAY:

Dear Jeffrey J. Thomas,

The following listing:

7306666433 - Rickenbacker 1997.Limited Edition Bass

has been removed from eBay for violating eBay policy. Since this
listing was removed, you are not required to complete the transaction.

For a complete list of eBay’s policies, please visit:

After the EBAY email, I received an offer from the seller similar to the one mentioned above, stating that he had cancelled the auction to sell the guitar to someone for $3000.00...the deal fell through, and asking would I like to buy it for $3000.00.

Needless to say, I'm not interested!

Sounds more like a scam to me!

If I feel gutty enough tomorrow I will throw in a bid on the 94 that originally started this thread.

The current top bidder already has a Carl Wilson and a Tom Petty, so he's going to be a player on this one.

Go for it, Marc! I'm going to sit this one out. I just hope it doesn't go too high so you can afford it and I can use the more recent bids to make an offer elsewhere

Sold! $3905...I really blew it big time. Oh well, I'll be at the Bellagio the next three days. Maybe my luck will fare better there.

Bah, they're overrated anyway.

Get another Cheyenne II - lol.

Sorry Marc.

There is that other with the $2900 BIN. Of course, it has no cert and is in Japan.

marc61 · Post by **marc61** » Sat Mar 12, 2005 8:42 am

The thrill with this one was the date on the cert.

I was going to go for it but, if you doubled the price and added a couple of zeros, you'll have the price I just paid for a house on which I'm closing in June. That's really what I should concentrate on.

The seller of the Japan one sent me an e-mail response to a question regarding shipping.It took about 4 days to get this response....

"
You asked:
"How much to ship to Maryland zip 21795? Thank you."

Hello. The delivery expense is $206 to the USA.I send it by EMS. Please understand a few error margins because of the exchange rate of the day. Thank you!

You're right about the house , Marc.

You'll need a place to store your RIC's.....
