Wow, I've never bought anything on eBay--but there is a certain guitar for sale

[eyepaddle]

a model that is fairly rare, and I once owned--but foolishly sold because it looked too....dated, I suppose. Now I have to talk to my wife and see if I can undo one of the bigger mistakes of my life.

Wow.

1. I bought 3 very nice used guitars on ebay, and I love all of them...

I hope you are a great salesman...

2. Is this it?

You can tell us. We won't laugh.

4. Nope. Not that one.

I doubt anybody here at DU would want this particular guitar, but I think I should keep it quiet until the issue is settled one way or the other.

As an aside, my wife is cool with me bidding, but we haven't figured out how hi I can go.

It was at about $450 a few hours ago.

5. I totally want a pink one of those, pink dots too.

But I have a fairly large collections of guitars and string instruments. I've only had to sell four of the guitars I've owned in the past 35 years.

BTW one of my oldest friends lost a very fine 6 string about 20 years. Two years ago I found a pretty much identical guitar and bought it for him. love at first strum. for what its worth I think you should get the guitar you're looking for. good luck.

9. If it has a "buy it now" price that isn't too far from the current bid, snatch it up.

Otherwise you'll have to pounce at the last minute and try to snipe it.

And by "last minute", I really mean last couple of seconds. Sniping is an art.
