CanadaBoy23 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Hey, I was wondering if anyone who has a Darkfire but doesn't want it anymore would put it on ebay. I really want to know because trying to find if very difficult now and a guy at the Guitar Center in Jacksonville, Fl said tha there are only 26 DFs left in the states and 6 in the southeast region. I really, really, really, really, really want this guitar badly and just can't find one. So if anyone that doesn't want there darkfire anymore please let me know if yoy will put it on ebay.

MCK Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Checkout the 2 listed here : http://forums.gibson.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=13635 . As far as I know neither sold. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaBoy23 Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 well the one on ebay is cancelled and the craigslist on is too far to travel to get it. plus i was wondering if anyone who would be selling their darkfire would be able to work out a payment plan?

MCK Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 The one on eBay canceled because bids did not reach reserve. I was watching it out of curiosity. That means if you were to make a decent offer it might still there. As for payment plans I doubt anyone will go for this. After all whoever has one has paid in full... Good luck in any case.

boardusmcer Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 the only way i can see you making payments is if you get a separate financial backer, aka a loan. you could also try for that ebay mastercard, not too knowledgable on it but if you paid with a credit card you'd be making payments. the intrest may kill you though so i would try a regular bank loan first. keep in mind that if you are a musician you can at least right this purchase off on your taxes ;-) also, lots of guitar stores will offer some kind of financing. I know Jammin' Johns does. Otherwise you may have to wait until the next big Robot III or IV comes out and a few of these start popping up. Good luck to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLB Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Check the dealer sites on the Gibson - Dark Fire pages for all of the dealers you can contact for availability, especially for ones in your local area. I'm positive you will find many dealers that can obtain a DF for you. Also, Guitar Centers are probably a great source for being able to finance the cost of it over time (credit). I would expect you could also work a payment out with other dealers too, based on your financial situation. Best of luck to you...it is a great guitar.

Liystalander Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Hey' date=' I was wondering if anyone who has a Darkfire but doesn't want it anymore would put it on ebay. I really want to know because trying to find if very difficult now and a guy at the Guitar Center in Jacksonville, Fl said tha there are only 26 DFs left in the states and 6 in the southeast region. I really, really, really, really, really want this guitar badly and just can't find one. So if anyone that doesn't want there darkfire anymore please let me know if yoy will put it on ebay. Please[-o< [/quote'] Go to your closest Guitar Center, and ask them to order one. Thats what they did with me. They found one in Virginia, and are having it shipped as we speak. They can do this easily, they have a ton in warehouses. Just be sure to get a new, unopened, "virgin" one from a distribution center, not one from a faraway store. Those most definitely will have something wrong with them. Guitar center also has a payment plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianv4 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 mine is going back for a new MCK but I'm not sure the Dark Fire is for me. if interested, email me I'll send some photos. it's a real nice one and I have the RIP & software to go with it. i did register it but if you would have any issues during the year electronics warranty it would be easy to work out.

cgarlie Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Go to Best Buy (yes, I am unfortunately serious). Check their web site, search for the guitar and then "location of a store near you". BTW -- I went by my local dealer to check on the guitar (Chuck Levin's, now Washington Music who have been Gibson dealers forever). They said they were no longer Gibson dealers -- they said they have not been terminated by Gibson, but neither have they had their contract renewed. They pointed me to Best Buy. Anyone know the Gibson business model? Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pohatu771 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I'm not sure if they have one (I wouldn't be surprised though, considering they're probably the biggest independent Gibson dealer in the world), but you could try contacting Bruce at the House of Guitars. I'm not sure if they'll ship to you, but for the money, especially in these times, they're very willing to make some accomodations. http://www.houseofguitars.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
