Gotta sell some stuff - pics and expanded list

OldManC · October 01, 2008, 03:45:19 PM

Well, this not really called but still happening actor's strike is causing me more financial havoc then I ever hoped to have. Even though I'm still working at the moment, I'm not too sure how much longer I will be, so I need to free up some cash.

Before I go to eBay I thought I'd offer some stuff up here. Here's what I have up so far:

1964 Epiphone Embassy. Headstock repaired looong before I got it. All stock besides that. $2200 == deal pending ==

2001/2 Gibson Blackbird. Small chip on the headstock. Perfect for making a red baron bird or any other refinish options. $1300

1976 Thunderbird. Natural. == This one is sold ==

77 ish Greco 4001S clone (neck thru) $650

Epi Jack Casady $600

I'll add to the list again this weekend when I'm home, but let me know if you might be interested in any of the above. I'm resigned to doing this, so it's not too painful though I'm sure it may be later. Plus actual shipping on everything.I'd rather get a check or money order to avoid Paypal fees, but if that's your only option, let's talk. Everything includes HSC unless otherwise noted.

Sorry to hear this, George.

I know how you must feel George. Hope things look up soon.

that really sucks, George. I wish I could spring for the '76 bird but money's tight at the time. good luck, though. hope it works out for you.

Wish I could take the Blackbird off your hands.

I'm afraid to even ask - How much for the Embassy?

Lightyear · October 01, 2008, 09:45:06 PM

Man, sorry you need to sell your babies. Been there done that - for the same reasons. The Embassy is way tempting but I'm closing on my new house in a few weeks so no toys for me

Hang on and good luck.

$2200 for the Embassy, Gary. Thanks for the interest either way.

A friend of mine's searching for an Embassy. I'll mail him directly!!!!

A pity you have to sell 'm...

George- what are you asking for the '76?

Still undecided, but I've been toying with the idea of selling my Elitist (and likely other stuff too) to get into a 76-79 bird.

Oh man George, I hope things turn around quickly for you. Maybe you can save some of these. I wish I could help, but my wife has me on a short leash for more expensive items. We're watching our pennies as well. Good luck.

We all are!

I have started paying my son's college bills. Hard to justify anything that is not essential right now.

Sorry to hear this George, specially when basses are about the only thing to put money in these days.

how many times has Uwe contacted you about the SG prototype?

Oops! I'll fix that above. $1800 plus shipping.
