Dang, never saw one like that....well, if he's serious, he'll bid...but as I've said, most of the serious bidding comes in the last day, especially if the reserve is met...guitars like yours don't devaluate unless they're abused (and even then, ever look at a '50's Chet Atkin's guitar, with dings and everything)

PS..we'll have to get together next summer when I go back to Niagara Falls to see relatives..

Aaaaahhhhhh!!! Less than two days left and the bidding has all but stopped. I wish someone would tip the bidding over the reserve and start the bid war. I guess I shot myself in the foot somewhat. I didin't want people to think I set the reserve at an insane level and now they seem to be waiting until the last minute to take the bid past the reserve in order to keep the price down. Live and learn. Live and learn.

Up to $3000. Hope it goes much higher.

Congrats.....I've been busy cleaning my gutters today while my wife went to a quilt auction supporting the local church camp (Igot the credit card before she left...just gave her what I thought we needed)...I'll go look, but unless the power ball comes through, I won't be bidding

Good luck again, and I said, it's the last moments that have the biggest surprises

Mike

PS, some due in the UK offered to sell me one like yours for $1500...figured it was a scam and turned him in..

Well, I have had at least three people try to get me to sell it early. The last two were really pestering me, and they were from Indonesia, so I turned them in today. heh, the first onegave me an address to find out the shipping charges. After I politely turned him down, for the 3rd time, I got a note rom someone else asking the same thing. Guess what. it was from almost the same location, same city and everything. The only diference was the zip code. i thought that was extremely suspicious. So I turned them both in.

BTW, that was a good thing to snag the credit card before she left.

Even more good news is that the guy currently winning has great feedback.

Capt. Mike · « **Reply #26 on:** August 07, 2004, 04:22:30 pm »

Yeah, it's after 4 and she's not home yet...I'm supposed to be at church @ 4:30 to play...looks like I won't make it as the other car blew an engine last week (and I was saving to buy a guitar...)...I don't let the small stuff get me down...It's up to 3K...it will go higher..and you can pop over to PA and get a ticket..don;t they have a lottery? or is it W. VA.?

Less than two hours left and not quite at 3500. Lets hope for some real quick action at the endgame.

Bid is well over 3.5K now.

I know that had to hurt to place it on sale. Beautiful instrument.

Thanks. it did.

jualdeaux · « **Reply #30 on:** August 08, 2004, 08:05:07 pm »

Well, it went for $4050.99 to someone in San Diego.

Congrats!

As Mike said make sure you get the payment, check cashed and cleared, before you send off the guitar. I know it's a sad day in Jualdeaux-ville but now as least you can buy a new toy or two!
