In the words of Kramer..."only a sucker pays retail"

The ebay listing says, "the warranty has never been sent in and is still good for the new owner to do so".
The warranty is only good for the original owner and only if it was purchased from a Larrivee dealer.

Ouch....that one ain't going no where.... :GRN>

I really like the customer friendly fine print

The ebay listing says, "the warranty has never been sent in and is still good for the new owner to do so".
The warranty is only good for the original owner and only if it was purchased from a Larrivee dealer.

and of course I was nice enough to tell him and the other recently listed L-03 seller that the warranty was NO good

If I'm reading that receipt correctly... it looks more like a nice big tax write of for "Mighty Mike" and now the "sponsoree" I assume the seller is trying to turn a real nice profit.

[JohnM2001]

I emailed him to let him know, in a nice way, that his price was high, and that brand new ones (with warranties) can be had for less than his price.   He wrote back <<If your not wanting to buy this guitar, don't put in your two sense>>

Not only is he clueless on guitar pricing, but he is also rude and can't spell :GRN>

OOOO. FULL RETAIL. SHOOT SON , HIS MOM DIDN'T EVEN PAY FULL RETAIL :GRN> HAHAHA.

Oh yeah DONT give him your two cents.  There are occassionally a couple in the buy and sell section on this forum trying to sell USED instrument for higher than MAP of a NEW guitar  :rolleyes:.  Then after 5 days they will ask "did I price it to high"??  But when you PM them to tell them you get 1 of 2 scenerios.

A. "F' off, is the guitar yours??... exactly, dont tell me how to sell it"
or B. "F' off, is the guitar yours??... exactly, dont tell me how to sell it"

There, that 'bout sums it up. LoL.  People just can't accept the fact that they either got ripped off when they bought the guitar, or that they are WAY above the market price (ahhh... greed).

[dcarey]

I really like the fact that he shows a photo of the original sales receipt, then advertises it as "NEW" in his auction.

Hmmm.......Hello, eBay Fraud Department?

I agree with the post about the sponsorship, that was the first thing I picked up on. It may have been a donation for a fund raiser. If so, the person who won it would conceivably have very little clue about actual costs. A good example is the Price is Right show, where you have to guess the cost of something at the full retail cost versus what you would actually pay for it. The donator would be able to claim the full retail price for their tax deduction.

I just recently bought a Larry L-03 with a fwi saddle and it is a 2005 model for nearly 200 less than what this guy is asking got mine on ebay from a man in Louisville KY and I couldnt be happier haveing a bone nut and colosi pins put in it as we speak.

[JohnM2001]

Oh, Mr. Nasty took my advice and dropped the price  by $100 to $699 opening bid...still kinda high IMO.

[Calvin]

I know for a fact a member here is selling a loaded to the teeth OMV-03R there for a few dollars more lol. :GRN>  Let's see.... L03 with nothing at all vs. Loaded OMV03R with cutaway, and excellent pick up in it, for essentially teh same price.  Which to choose.

[whiskeyjack]

Calvin, I think that one sold.  Lovley piece though.
