Title: Brand New Larrivee OMV-10E
Post by: MState25 on July 13, 2006, 06:39:37 PM
Just yesterday (6/12) I received in the mail this recently purchased brand new Larrivee OMV-10E. When I opened it, I quickly realized I was now the proud owner of Larrivee's top-of-the-line OM model. Problem is, I have no business owning such a fine instrument. I had a general idea of what to expect, but this well exceeded my expectations in all areas- from elaborate design to sound quality. Therefore, I've decided I'm willing to let it go for good offer in order to scale back to a more modest guitar.  Message me with an offer or questions if interested. If indeed I do let it go, I guarantee the buyer will be completely satisfied or we'll work something out.

Take a look at the model on the Larrivee website for specs:   http://www.larrivee.com/html/products/guitars/OMV-10E/omv10e.html

Not only will you receive the guitar, but you will also receive Larrivee's brand new arch-top case, a Larrivee leather guitar strap, a Larrivee polish cloth and a set of unused Elixir Light Nano Strings.

Retail price on this OMV-10E is $3498.

I think people would be more comfortable dealing with a first time poster if pictures of the actual instrument were shown.

i would suggest returning the guitar in exchange for what ever model you want.

I agree, just doesn't sound right with a picture, and a relist of a retail price.  Come back with a picture.

Nah, send it back and get a guitar that better fits you. 

On this forum with many frugal and prudent members, you're not going to get what you paid for it, especially with the warranty invalid to the second owner.

Thanks for the feedback guys.  I understand the hesitancy towards a first-time poster like myself.  Pictures are on the way ASAP.  And by the way, that retail price was only intended to give a general sense of what Larrivee says the RETAIL value is in case someone was interested in making an offer. That price was taken directly off the Larrivee website and is obviously not what I paid. Sorry for any confusion.

Okay.  You'd be wise to put your asking price.  That might be a forum rule, but I haven't checked recently.

Why not just return it?  You'll get all your $ back.

OK, why not. Asking price is $2200. Message me and I'll email actual pics to whoever's interested. The reason I'm not returning it is because once you finish dealing with the shipping and, most importantly, the restocking fee, it's not worth it.

Resale values on used Larrivees are not the best. And even though it is essentially a brand new guitar it is not likely that you will get very close to what you paid. If the restocking fee is 15% or less you still might get more back that way. Then again, no harm in seeing if you can get some bites.
