Vintage Guitar Ebay Search (Restorations and Treasures)
Hello,
I spend too many hours searching on www.ebay.com, but being a flea market fan, I am addicted to this virtual marketplace. I have found many wonderful instruments over the years, but even though, I am not buying like I would in the past, I still enjoy the hunt.
So, I thought I would post active auction of item that might interest my friends.
Unfortunately, I cannot remove the posts, so please start with the most current post to view current auction items.
Considering many of you have gained good building skills from making CBGs, refurbishing vintage instruments could be a very lucrative next step.
Please feel free to add a link if you want to share. Enjoy, Keni Lee

Thank you KaptnKen for your comment. I am sorry for putting tempation in your path. ebay is definitely a double edge sword. Items you thought you would never find...purchasing things you really don't need. You gotta take the good with the bad. Enjoy???

Thank you PapaSimone for your comment. I enjoy a good stroll thur a flea market. There is so many interesting things to see for free. It is like a virtual museum. Give me a cup of Joe, and it is a very relaxing and enjoyable day. Enjoy.

Thank you Noisemaker for your comment. There is definitely Gold in them thar hills. LOL Years ago, I found the Fiddle-edge resonator I now own, as a "buy it now" auction 2 o'clock in the morning, when I got up because I could not sleep. It was up for the amazing low price of $1200. I felt I had no choice but to buy. Sometimes when you find those treasures, it can be quite stressful too. Should I buy...should I let it go...Enjoy.
