Trans 6 Report post Posted March 10, 2017 Yeah! $736 is just the beginning...there is no BUY IT NOW a la' Evil Bay...so the final bid will go over a grand or so for sure. Unless I am missing something here? Wish it was a 29 model instead! Snipe? Trans Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless I am missing something here? Wish it was a 29 model instead! Snipe? Trans That's my impression, too. Maybe more than you have to pay elsewhere, depending if some auction freak gets their blood up. My luck with auctions = 💩, so perhaps I'm not the best one to judge....

kelly campbell 200 Report post Posted March 10, 2017 Glad I already have one, I would have liked to have paid that price for mine but oh well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fortyearspickn 147 Report post Posted March 10, 2017 All those Mom & Pop supporters that want to pay twice as much - the line forms at the right. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobouz 149 Report post Posted March 10, 2017 Looks to me like the east-west brace beneath the label has separated from the back. Gotta be something wonky going on with that guitar for it to end up at Goodwill - and it's up over $800 now. No thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Remellick 3 Report post Posted March 10, 2017 $802.00 with 4 days and 7hrs left. Chances are greater that at least a minor repair will be required, and the possibility exist that a major repair will be due. But then there's the chance of a jewel dropped off at goodwill by someone that knows charity isn't about giving junk you have no use for or don't want. Maybe someone needing a quick tax write off or a estate liquidation ..or a spiteful spouse going through divorce. It may be rare but is not impossible to discover a rare find. All that being said... 1. I have pulled the trigger on two guitars there and neither was that particularly rare item nor perfect jewel. 2. The best looking or seemingly rare or perfect find will often be bid beyond the price you could purchase the same guitar at reverb or wherever. So.. I got so long winded the price has probably doubled by now lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's impossible to tell, really. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cougar 149 Report post Posted March 10, 2017 So.. I got so long winded the price has probably doubled by now lol Haha, it did go up to $811 in the last few minutes. Here's the condition they say it is.... Condition : Guitar & case are in good condition. Item shows little to no wear and may be a little dirty. May need light cleaning. Little wear but dirty? Could just need a cleaning. As mentioned, most for sale on ebay are up at $1,000 or more, although past auctions show several went for $900 or less. Of course, they're about $1500 brand new. They haven't been out that long, right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boyd 46 Report post Posted March 10, 2017 I see a couple used ones on guitar center's website for $1100 and several more for $1200. They charge $1500 new. The difference is, GC gives you a 45 day return/exchange period. ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cougar 149 Report post Posted March 11, 2017 I had one and did not like it. Sold it after a few months for what I bought it for. I will say the back on the one I had was really nice. I gotta say, I had an order in for a new one with a burst finish through the Music Villa store in Bozeman. I waited for a couple weeks, then one came in... at about the same time a jumbo burst New Hartford Guild F50R with DTAR dual source came up on reverb. I made an offer at about $500 below what the Guild was originally asking for (well, he'd already lowered the price twice), and it was accepted! I have not. looked. back. Unnecessarily, but fashionably, this girl came with inlaid emeralds on the bridge pins and tuning posts. Crazy! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the other side 10 Report post Posted March 11, 2017 I have to admit...I'm always leery of buying a guitar that lived in the desert SW of the US. Its dry out there..... I fully agree. Humidity is approximately 1% to 2%. I've been there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cougar 149 Report post Posted March 11, 2017 That is Pimp-olisious. Hahaha! The word fits. It sounds good, too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fortyearspickn 147 Report post Posted March 11, 2017 I fully agree. Humidity is approximately 1% to 2%. I've been there. Maybe in the Mojave. Most other places (habitable) are around 20%. That is, unquestionably dry - and why, back in the 70s when Detroit couldn't make a car that didn't rust - people would buy used cars in the SW and have them shipped a thousand miles.

Cougar 149 Report post Posted March 14, 2017 23 hours, 22 minutes left. $1051. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobouz 149 Report post Posted March 14, 2017 23 hours, 22 minutes left. $1051. Crazy stuff. I'd almost bet the farm that this guitar has something wrong with it, and you can buy them used all day long for $1000 in excellent condition. $1274 brand new with warranty at the frequently seen 15% discount price (which is what I paid when the model first came out in 2014).

Boyd 46 Report post Posted March 14, 2017 Well it's being sold by Goodwill. So maybe people are looking at this as a way to do something to help them and get a guitar as bonus? :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sure would be nice to believe, anyhow. I still contend it's no more than typical auction BS☺ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
