Why would someone place a bid at the start of a 7 day auction? What a newbie.

It doesn't hurt to place a first bid early except that it gives interest or value to the item.... Often I'll place a first bid if I really want something and don't want to forget about it, but then not bid again until the last 8 seconds or so. If I forget to bid at the end and my first bid is there, at least there's 'some' hope.... Also, a lot of musical instrument auctions end early. I bid on something so it does away with the "Buy it Now" so it'd be an auction to the end and I'd still have a chance (I didn't want somebody to do the BIN and I needed time to research the item more and knew somebody would outbid me if I decided I didn't want it). But then again....I just found out that the seller can end an auction early if you simply meet their reserve. Learn something new every day! Just when I thought I knew it all.

If I had an extra grand laying around I would jump on a steel like that. It actually does appear to be MINT.
I'll be surprised if it does not go above $1200.

If you don't really care if you win the item, but would like to have it for the price you bid, and you dont want some schmuck to walk away with it for peanuts...[This message was edited by Ray Minich on 31 January 2006 at 08:38 AM.] |

| I am not sure that b0b is too elated about these types of Ebay postings on the Buy and Sell forums. I am sure he will chime in. |

| But, if a forumite buys the guitar as a result from this post, then he can make a donation to the forum. |

| Not to be a snob, but the late '60s early '70s Stringmasters had that nasty, goopy polyurethane finish. Yes, compaired to most other multi-neck guitars, most Stringmasters are superior, but of those guitars these were the worst. The nitro finished ones ( pre-1966 or so) were far superior to the later ones. |

The classified sections of the Forum are for member ads. Since you haven't named a price, Nick, I can only assume that this isn't for sale. I'm moving the topic to "No Peddlers".
My Stringmaster looks exactly like that one, by the way...
