BIN is reasonable, not sure if there's enough demand that he'll get that much. He really got hosed if he paid $2200 at GC.

Tempting, but I wonder what is wrong with that particular specimen that he would take such a cut selling. Already the custom made Seymour Duncans should be worth something.

If it is anything like my Grabber II, it will need a fretjob.

They sure don't make 'em like they used two. My vintage Grabber and G3 have excellent fret work.

Ripper II: Electric Boogaloo!

Never built an Eduard kit.  I recall my FW-190 being a Hasagewa.

That offer was just too good. I would never be able to get it for this type of money in Germany.

Easy, enroll in law school knowing you won't finish it, fail as a rock star, fall into love with a woman fellow student who ignores you, have your heart broken, reconsider your options about the rock star thing, dismiss joining the French Foreign Legion as plan B, and then finish studying law after all!

On Feb-27-10 at 09:43:57 PST, seller added the following information:

!!!THIS AUCTION IS FOR USA BIDDERS ONLY NO SALES OUT THE USA SORRY... THANK YOU ALL YOU BIDS


Apparently the German forces persuaded the seller to reconsider.
