Who will be duking it out with Spyder over this one? :rolleyes:
I didn't see the Trawler on the bid list this time though!
I'm a little short this week so I'll just cheer (jeer?) from the sidelines. It would be nice to see an OFC'er come up with this one. Mortgage rates are at an all time low! |

15 @ - $1K each
30 @ - $500 each
We can rotate it and have it for a couple of weeks a year, then send it to the next "owner".
Lets keep it in the OFC!

Location: SoCal | No reserve listed in the traditional spot, but in the description, it states a $15k reserve. The seller may have made an error in how he set this up.
The honorable thing would be to let him know. Anybody feeling honorable? |

Location: Midland, MI | Or maybe the seller was not being so honorable by not employing the eBay reserve function, but rather stating in the description that there is, in fact, a reserve, thereby avoiding the 'reserve price' fee that would otherwise have to be paid. I suspect the fee on a $15k reserve would be not insignificant. |

| hi guys,
I got some news: I emailed both the ebay seller (hectoru67) and elias about their slotheads.
There is something strange about hectoru67's response. he did not provide serial and model number, he did not tell me anything about the guitar's condition and history, he may cancel the auction early!!! and he wants "around $15,000' though he hasn't set a reserve. I dono....
i haven't heard from elis yet, but in our past communications he's been very knowledgeable and polite...i certainly hope he asks for less than $15K! I'll keep you posted.

| Man those guitars are really something with that slot head and so very rare. I thought this was Samova's?? And yeah whom ever this is they need to put a reserve in there or there going to make the high bidder real mad.
It will be tough to sell it again on Ebay if this auction closses and he refuses to sell it for the $6k it may end up at?
Buyer from overseas may make a good offer before this is over anyway? That seems to be the way these go.

Location: SoCal | It is pretty obvious that Spider saw it early, placed a bid high enough to still be the high bid. Only Spider or the Shadow knows howwww high. :p
Got a feeling that, as Spider is also on the OFC, he's wondering the same questions such as "serial and model number", "anything about the guitar's condition and history", and the fact that seller "may cancel the auction early!!!"
Trawler is on the bid list, as usual.
For me, I'm waiting for the 30th Anniv Adamas - I don't think I will be disappointed :) :D :) |

Such was the case with mine . . .
Mine, (which is strictly acoustic), sold (in '78) for $2,400. Original dealer's price was $2.8K.
Back THEN, . . .
. . . . s'lotta money for a guitar . . .

Piss-poor description, pictures and identification and possibly messed up on the reserve. Owns an OH-My_GOD class instrument and bumbles through EBAy.
Bless his heart. :(
I know Spyder will enjoy this guitar for the 30 seconds he holds onto it... |

Location: Australia | Ovation amaze me sometimes. Lets face it (with a few exceptions) their "vintage" models don't generally fetch vintage prices but with the slothead they have a very collectable and sought after guitar which goes for big bucks.
Why don't they be like every other guitar company in the world and......make a vintage reissue !
Even if they did a slightly upgraded model with ebony fingerboard and modern electronics I'd buy one.
Tony - Do you know something about a 30th Ann. Adamas ? I hope your right :) |
