A/E Ovation Adamis

OK, so it's really an applause with a lacquer crack. But it LOOKS kind of like an adamis.

That's one sweet "puppy"...
If he can't keep it in stock, why is it on ebay..? If it is something he stocks, why can't he spell adamas? so many questions... so many bad ebay sellers.

His use of language has a legal term:"puffery." Perfectly, "legal," stopping just short of deception; A trap for the illiterate and uneducated consumer.

Well, he's no "power seller"... but zero feedback and improper identification of the only item you have, should count for something..!!

You realize that all the hits from people here that have gone to look at it are making his counter number reasonably big....he's probably wondering why so many lookers and no bidders. :confused:

His approach isn't novel. I have seen quite a few eBay ads over the years for Applause guitars employing the Ovation and/or Adamas names in the listing title. This guy needs a spelling lesson, but haven't we also seen some ads for the real thing also spelled 'Adamis'? I'll take the latter, thank you!
