ZR Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 We're considering closing down our family biz of the last 21 years. Long story there..I'll have to vent about it later. My wife's been laid off from her Graphic Designer position and has been looking for a job since January...man, it's tough out there! Hopefully, it's been better for you!Anyway, these guitars are really great but I need the money and this would bring in the most doing it this way. Take a look if you're at all interested. I'll also have more stuff coming up on ebay this week. Thanks!! My ebay items for sale Webpage

burningyen Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Sorry to hear times are tough, hang in there.
polara Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Hey, send your wife's resume my way again? I know of a place that's hiring but she'd have to be really a kick-ass seasoned web and print designer... from what I remember she hasn't done it a real long time, right? But I will definitely keep my ear to the ground!

ZR Posted November 27, 2009 Author Posted November 27, 2009 Got a lot of watchers on ebay but that doesn't always mean much.I guess I'd be open to any last minute trade offers if anyone sees anything that they could use.Anyway, last bump b4 it closes in about 10-11 hours.For those who don't know the details of this Artist Series guitar... Fender Eric Johnson Stratocaster Electric Guitar Features: * '57-style, 2-piece alder body * Body cavities true to '57 specs * One-piece, quartersawn plain maple neck * Thinner, vintage-style headstock * 12" radius American Series-style frets * Staggered vintage machine heads eliminate string tree * Thin neck cap * Bone nut * Custom Shop-modified single-coil pickups * Master volume, neck tone, and bridge tone controls * Vintage tremolo with silver painted block * '57-style string recess * Thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish
cmatthes Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 I'm eyeing that case...Something I actually need.
ZR Posted November 28, 2009 Author Posted November 28, 2009 Chris,I Wish I knew that b4 I listed. It already had a bid on it by that time and it's my policy to not end auctions if bids have already been placed (mainly because I hate when people do that to me!). Anyway, about half the items sold and the other half has been relisted at lower prices if anyone's interested (link in the first post). Thanks!!
Punkavenger Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 you will actually make more by parting it out?
cmatthes Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 No problem - I meant to log back on near the end of the auction, but ended up forgetting until this morning!
ZR Posted November 28, 2009 Author Posted November 28, 2009 you will actually make more by parting it out?Judging by the completed auctions I should do pretty good. I only bought the guitar for around $900 considering Bing cash back + ebay cashback etc. Some people have parted these out for around $1,500. - $1,600. Just assuming I sell everything for less than that - Ebay fees should still net me 30-40% on my investment. Plus, I got to play it for awhile and compare it to another Strat I have. It was a close comparison but not enough to keep it. My biz is not going well, and my wife has been looking for a job since January etc. So, I'm selling off this and a lot more stuff to keep afloat!

ZR Posted November 29, 2009 Author Posted November 29, 2009 Yeah, I'm not too worried about it all, but that's supposed to worry me!
