It's worth a shot.

I'm still thinking he's after more than I'm willing to pay, and probably by a big chunk. I sent him a message along the lines of 'Â£550 seems high, but my Â£275 offer is probably too low. What price do you have in mind?'.

I'm really looking for 475+ . i have two guitars on ebay at the moment to raise funds - whichever sells first the other will be withdrawn and I will keep it.

I didn't expect him to come back with his lowest price, but that's certainly the end of this one for me. I'd possibly pay that from a store if I could play for a while first, and possibly pay it for one in superb condition that still looked well played with an original hard case (if these came with a hard case), but I can't imagine being able to resell this for that price or close enough to it not to matter too much.

A shame because it really does look the business.

Check 'My Ebay' just now and this was in the 'Ended' section. Someone hit the buy it now and bought it for the full Â£550 he was asking. I'm quite surprised at that.

That's a bit of a shocker. If I ever spot one I'll be sure to PM you.
