That's the one I was talking about. The $155 shipping puts it out of reach for me (not by a lot, but by enough that it's an issue) and despite his dropping of the price last week he wouldn't drop his price far enough to compensate for the shipping costs. We weren't terribly far apart, but despite the fact that he's been trying to sell this thing for months he doesn't seem willing to do what it takes to actually sell that one. He actually raised the price back up by $100 a couple days ago.
I think the reason he's having a hard time selling it is that he's asking top dollar for it (or he was up until a couple weeks ago, but the price he's asking now with shipping is still
near top dollar), but the guitar is not in top dollar shape. It's not bad at all, but with the chips and deep buckle rash and corroded machine heads it's not a top dollar guitar.
If he comes down on it to compensate for the shipping costs I'll definitely buy it.
(Of course, if anyone here has one that never gets played I will give it a good home with plenty of playing time and a lot of reverence...)
