Country Artist 1124-4
Last Wednesday, received an sms in response to query about availability of my Ovation country artist 1124-4. as mentioned in one blog entry sometime in August I wanted to sell off this model since I got my hands on Ovation Concert Classic 1116 which I liked much better.
Since I was already in my office and the guy wanted to check out the guitar, we agreed on the spot to meet. Not knowing what kind of person I might come across, I was nonetheless pretty open to the notion that a sale might fall through since it’s almost a month since the ad was placed on AdPost. Besides an Indonesian contacted me a couple of days earlier about his interest and will meet this week when in town. No problem if the sale isn’t successful. I might strike a deal with the Indonesian instead.
It turned out that Adam (that’s his name) was quite a nice chatty guy who is quite an avid collector and plays well. The Ovation in his hand sounded good and as we chatted he shared about his love for guitars. He is also pretty ‘hands-on’ even meddling with the parts of the guitar to make it sound better. He is apparently an engineer by training but ventured into HR arena career-wise. After all the chatting, he forked the asking price without hesitation or bartering. That’s a pleasant surprise. It was a good encounter and sale. It recouped what I paid for that guitar.
Resting Snugly in its Case
It turned out I had to email the Indonesian out of courtesy that the item is off the market.
Now another thought cropped up about selling the ’97 Collectors Edition so as to acquire a Taylor…
