Victor (Fret Friend) Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 Sh*t sandwich!!! Spent all my money & I want a Chap to go with my 92 Cent & 88 Cali. That's a fkn beauty <insert green-face smiley here>
Victor (Fret Friend) Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 Welcome to the board btw PS: The going rate for a 1st sale here is $350 <whistle>
RbnSndwch Posted November 20, 2012 Author Posted November 20, 2012 Thank You, Sir. She truly is BEAUTIFUL. Breaks my heart to let her go.
RbnSndwch Posted November 20, 2012 Author Posted November 20, 2012 Indeed. OK. ONLY for You, Mr. Croll.
Victor (Fret Friend) Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 If I had that kinda money, I'd be on this like a rash... I just had to sell 2 guitars to pay for an 88 Cali I just purchased. Seriously tho, good luck with the sale
coolfeel Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 I would rock the ever loving shit out of that guitar...
bcsride Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 Hmm, my daughter did say she wanted a pink guitar But, if I told my financial manager I spent $1800 on my daughters christmas guitar, it might be in trouble. Good luck with the sale though, it seems a bad time to be selling guitars.
RbnSndwch Posted November 20, 2012 Author Posted November 20, 2012 Thankyou Gentlemen. Spread the word.

diablo175 Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 183 views and no bites? Get her while You can. bump Welcome to my world. My custom Cali won't move either. Bad time of year to be selling high(er) end gear, I guess...
velorush Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 183 views and no bites? Get her while You can. bump Welcome to my world. My custom Cali won't move either. Bad time of year to be selling high(er) end gear, I guess... My world as well. Bad time of the economic cycle to be selling anything (at least anything I have for sale). Right now my alternatives seem to be eBay or just sticking it in a closet. Think I'll go with the latter...
svl Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 Stuff wasn't selling even before the holiday cycle started, unless you were willing to slash prices dramatically. Shite economy, no confidence it'll turn around, trouble everywhere (GC possibly going belly up, Gibson in trouble and cutting prices to move geets, ect) and a glut of product being peddled by merchants and individuals alike all lead to a solid buyers market.I gave up and just out the geets back in the rack. The only thing I'm up for anymore is trading, and even that's been disappointing.
Victor (Fret Friend) Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 No one can sell sh*t at the moment over here to. I just let 2 guitars go for 40% less than I would normally. I can't even sell a new Floyd Rose for half-price lately. Everyone is feeling this economic collapse...
RbnSndwch Posted November 24, 2012 Author Posted November 24, 2012 Thank you gentlemen for the "votes of confidence" and the updates on our failing economy. Didn't realize so many economists posted on this board. Keep smiling ! Peace and Happiness! bump
serial Posted November 27, 2012 Posted November 27, 2012 sq I gave up and just out the geets back in the rack. The only thing I'm up for anymore is trading, and even that's been disappointing.I've had a lot of good luck and big fun trading stuff in the past couple years of a soft market.
RbnSndwch Posted November 29, 2012 Author Posted November 29, 2012 That's a classic Hamer color.According to the serial number, I verified that the original color is indeed HOT PINK. Now just a little bit faded. Enjoy !
David B Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 That's a classic Hamer color.According to the serial number, I verified that the original color is indeed HOT PINK. Now just a little bit faded. Enjoy !Hamer had colors called Pink Pearl, Laser Pearl, Flamingo Pink on a 1988 price list. It's probably one of those.
RbnSndwch Posted December 2, 2012 Author Posted December 2, 2012 Indeed. I originally listed it as Pearl Pink but according to the serial numbers, I was informed it was Hot PInk, just faded. I will re-check. TY for Your attention to detail, gents. bump
serial Posted December 2, 2012 Posted December 2, 2012 That's a classic Hamer color.According to the serial number, I verified that the original color is indeed HOT PINK. Now just a little bit faded. Enjoy !Not sure where you verified this from, but the factory logs say "PP" or "pink pearl"-November 24, 1987.
RbnSndwch Posted December 4, 2012 Author Posted December 4, 2012 OK, so I called KMD and they forwarded me directly to the Ovation Factory in New Hartford, CT. Apparently they have all information on all USA made Hamers. Left 2 messages and waiting for a callback. To be continued ..... bump
RbnSndwch Posted December 4, 2012 Author Posted December 4, 2012 And Mr. Serial, where would one find copies of the factory logs online ???
