Re: 325C58's Going Cheap on eBay

They say there are two ways to bid on eBay -- "Bid for a bargain and hope to win". or "Bid to win and hope for a bargain". With the rate the 'C-series have been bringing, it's pretty clear what that guitar will go for. I bet I could peg it within $25. And it won't be the $2600 I paid for one last week...Simmers08 wrote:That will be mine in 4 days.
Well maybe. I will be bidding to win on that one.
Simmers, you won't have to compete against me on that guitar. I'm out of funds, plus the last thing I need are two 'C64's!
For those who don't know, Simmers and I were trying to get a 'V63 that had been on eBay a few weeks back with a starting bid of $2200 but also $150 for shipping. It was the original owner and it was his last of three Ricks and he was having a hard time deciding to sell it, despite being out of work. The description said "light fret wear", which raised a red flag for me. I didn't want to spend top dollar for a guitar that might need a fret job. I spent a couple of weeks trying to get him to sell it for $2000 plus shipping. He got to the point of getting a shipping box from the music store and then changed his mind. Maybe he found a job or something because Simmers' offer was considerably richer than mine. Or maybe he just realized how much he loved that Rick... I'm sure it's a great guitar.Simmers08 wrote:BTW, I offered Mr. 325 needing a fret job $2,325 for that Rickenbacker. He turned me down.
