I always wanted a Blue Boy and here is the one on ebay now:

The price is right , but the timing bad and I will have to sell my 78 4001FL Walnut to make up the budget hole. I really can't make up my mind.
What are your thoughts. Help!!!!

Thats a good deal. I bet you can count the number of fretless Blueboys on one hand.

If you like the color, do it. That's a decent price.

I just noticed that the seller will not ship. Pick up only. So much for that idea.

Todd or Ben thank you so much. Of course I will reimbuse you for the total postage costs. I am hitting it.

Done and paid for. Can you pick it up for me Ben?

I certainly can. Give me the address and I can probably get it tomorrow.
Did you tell the seller someone else will be picking the bass up?
Now check your email....

Oh SteveBen
Now, would I ever ace someone else out of a bass that I know they desperately want in a heartfelt way? NO WAY!!
Congratulations, Kris!! You got a great deal on a great bass, and I know you will really enjoy it
SteveBen will take care of seeing that it goes smoothly! That's how we Southern Marylanders treat folks, like family!

It's all in jest Elys!
...But you know that Ruby red would have looked very nice in my collection of 5.
I made the call but to no avail!
