Will1965 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Hello, I'm looking for a nice Hamer Newport Pro or a Newport Pro Custom. Buy or trade. Willing to trade my Gretch 6120 reissue 1957, it is like new. Cheers Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt L Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 My apologies - I replied before realizing you are overseas. I do not want to ship internationally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurt L Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 4 hours ago, Will1965 said: Why not? 1) I have no experience with CITES paperwork and no documentation on the guitar. If the guitar is seized, Paypal would refund your money because you never received it. That would leave me with no payment, no guitar, and no recourse. 2) International shipping is much more expensive, reducing my proceeds from the sale. 3) Longer shipping time means greater risk of damage. Again, all the buyer has to do is complain to Paypal to get a refund. In contrast, I would get the hassle of an international insurance claim and the additional expense of return shipping, all to reclaim a damaged guitar. As I mentioned earlier, I apologize for posting in your thread. I did so before I noticed you are in the Netherlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBraz Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 The Newport Pro Custm is a great guitar. Love mine. Good luck in your quest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FGJ Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 If you're interested, I have a Newport Pro customized to look like a regular, non-Pro version. It's customized with all of the features one would find on the regular model, which is why it cost so much. Heck, it's such a convincing custom job that you could never even tell it's a Pro if it were't for the "Pro" price-tag. You see, it's the high price that proves it's a Pro model... Or at least that's what the guy in the alley told me when he sold it to me out of his trunk... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donner Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 We'll let him receive it, first. Wow, that would be the 2nd Newport Pro-sale in Europe within 1 month (last entry in this thread). Those guitars rule. @ Will: I still play/like your Monaco Monaco a lot. It's not that far from my new Newport Pro, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
