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.

I had a Harmony Acoustic once, & it was a delight. Lots of character !!
$25 is coffee & biscuit money... good luck !!

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.

The other ad has to be a mistake. otherwise hw would be selling this amp for $35

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.
