...me!

Have a look at my new tremmed trans teal toy (MM90-ed, of course):

Can't believe how lucky I got on this one - it was a total fluke that I did a random browse for ALs when I did - and the nifty autographed AL pic is a bonus too!

Now get a load o' this...I left the browser page on the auction open on my laptop, and when I took a look at it again this morning, I noticed a couple of things:

1) The hit counter shows that apparently I was the only one who saw it

2) My "Buy It Now" happened about 9 1/2 minutes after it posted!

(Wonder if I have the record for the fastest eBay EBMM purchase? )

Purple, nice snag!! I didn't see that this morning when I did my usual searches.

Right place, right time. Look SSSWWEEEEEEETTTT!!!!!!!!!!

Best o' luck.

killa deal bro! Congrats.....and yes, I believe you are the fastest e-bay winner I have seen....hehehehehehehe

I don't understand how they can give up a beauty like that after only a couple of months. Just don't tell me he is using the money to buy a Strat.

Beautiful piece, man.

Mine came with a gig bag too, which I later replaced with a MM hardshell case. I swore that these came with a case factory. Wonder if people just keep the cases or they're getting them someplace that keeps them or charges extra for something that should come with the guitar.

Meh, enough rambling. I'm just jealous.

Noice! Great deal duder. Enjoy that beast.

On a scale to from 1 - Really Freaking Jelous, I am the latter.

Rock on man...

Congrats Purplesport! That's a sweet score! I love that color on my Axis Sport, and I'm sure you'll be as impressed by it in person...

 

[Shnook]

Nice! However, I am turning several shades of green as I type this. I want an Al BAD!!! Congrats!

 

[SGMan88]

Thats a beautiful AL you got there purplesport...Congrats!!!

 

[PurpleSport]

Hey gang - thanks a lot!

If UPS is to be believed, the axe should be arriving at the office today...brought both my Pandora and my Roger Linn Designs Adrenalinn (my other new eBay acquisition) along to check it out when it arrives - am I bad or what? Sure hope the workload calms down a bit so I can have some quality goof-off time!

Will try to post a review over the weekend (hopefully), when I come up for air...

 

[thindave]

Hey PS, depending on who's faster - UPS or FedEx - it'll be you or I who's the newest! Mine should be here today as well...

Updated, FedEx delayed my package in Indianapolis so I'm looking at tomorrow or Monday... :-(

 

[PurpleSport]

Hey ThinDave -

Yeah, mine got to the office Friday just after noon-time, much faster than I thought!

Sorry to hear yours got waylaid - that always stinks - but from the pics I've seen it was worth the wait. Sharp lookin' axe, man!

Gonna post that review of my surprising first experiences with my AL here soon - it's been a nutty weekend, carrying on over into today...
