Harmony Rocket 1960s

Post by cobascis »

http://burlington.craigslist.org/msg/2700971223.html

Anyone know anything about these? I read that it was an entry model back then, but saw a similar Harmony on ebay for 1k....

But for an hour drive and 25$, I'm going for it. Hopefully I'm the first to bite.

Tonight is a night to be remembered in VT craigslist history. Melody Maker body for 75$, now this. And:

He is also selling a Gibson Discoverer Tremolo GA-8T for $325!!

ridiculous deal. another example to put this in perspective: I saw the 3 pickup airline branded one at a flea market once and the guy was asking $400 for it.

I was on craiglist minutes after it was posted. Pretty sure I must have been the first to email. But no response yet. I almost want to send one from a different email to make sure he got em. Road trip after school if I get an email.

Holding my breath for an email back. I guess if he is selling it for 25$ he can't be too dedicated to checking his email, but damn. Internet is not helping my anxiety.

I was worried about this but everything he is selling is cheap. But, why wouldn't you check your email or at least provide a phone number if you want to sell something? Fuck the waiting is killing me.

Awesome. One word reply 24 hours after he posted it (I emailed him directly after he posted the ad):

"sold"

I can't take missing out on two deals like this in as many days. Taking a craigslist emotional beating. FUUUUUUUUU

And the fucking melody maker for $75? seriously?

Pissed.
