I have no connection to this , just saw the auction ( to U.S. only ) lets me out , but it seems like a pretty good deal and ending soon .

Good luck  :thumbsup


Been watching that one hoping some one here would get it for a song. I have a new one on order so I can't bid. Heck for that price it would make a nice campfire guitar.

U. S. only ....   :crying:   :crying:   :crying:   :crying:   :crying:

It went for a good price, not a GREAT price. I would have bid on it, if it was rosewood.

I feel your pain, same issue I've dealt with time and time again. If I was allowed to bid, they would have got $75 more for that parlor.

 I live in Canada (Ottawa) but only 60 minutes from Ogdensburg NY.  And Ogdensburg, like most places, has a UPS Store.  So I have all of my American purchases sent there; to " me" c/o UPS Store, Ogdensburg..."   I call UPS when I think things have arrived and go pick them up.  On the way back I show customs my paypal receipt, pay the tax (with no brokerage fees, as I am the broker) and drive home.  It costs me $5 to have a delivery sent to the UPS Store; pretty small brokerage charges.  UPS Store is now a confirmed paypal address for me.  US Customs no longer bats an eye when I say I'm just visiting for 15 minutes.  Canadian customs on the way back takes about the same time.  Just remember to bring a receipt for Canadian customs.

I watched this auction and did not bid. I consider this a successful GAS test which I passed (this time). With 5 Larrivees currently, I had to pass...  :crying:

Self-flagellation to commence shortly...  I want a parlour!

Guess I'll have to somehow find consolation in the L-05MT I recently acquired... What a SWEET guitar! Larrivee rocks.
Cheers,

Will
