I looked in eBay when I saw your asking, there are several Conde Flamenco's for sale there. Just put into search "Flamenco Conde Guitar"

that's funny?

works for me, sold two guitars before that way, and pretty quick after advertising too.

I have only ever bought a guitar in person and for cash.

anyway, I'm not desperate to sell, otherwise I would have advertised the guitar.

Yeah, man - it's funny. The usage came across as super "no nonsense" and like you just didn't even want to deal with anything but just posting this here and then having someone knock at your door with a stack of Benjamins in hand.

It reminded me of how people sold things in Beirut. Once you put one foot outside the shop, then if you turn back in and say you changed your mind, the guy would pull out a sign from underneath the counter saying "Merchandise that is sold cannot be returned or swapped".

RE: Kara.101@yahoo.com (in reply to rombsix)

my dad started out with a stall on a market when i was a kid, so i grew up with that sort of "no nonsense" ethic.

but i'm pretty laid back about anyone coming round and trying the guitar out and making their mind up in their own time about whether they want it or not. No pressure - tea or coffee provided!

and yeah, i've sold a couple of guitars on that way, as you say "knock on the door with a stack of benjamins in hand"

And i have bought guitars the same way. i wish i had video of the guy in the bank counting out 3 grand and handing it over - so serious! he looked at me like he didn't want that cash to leave the bank and like i was gonna spend it on guns or drugs or something - hilarious!

there's also a scam where the crook buys a guitar (or similar high cost item) on ebay and then says it never arrived. The seller has to prove it did arrive or refund the cash. some people have been stung with this.

That's exactly how I bought the 1960 Manuel de la Chica. Phoned the woman, just wanted to see a probably heavily battered instrument, was told by my inner voice to take piles of benjamins from where I store them, got there, discovered a higly well preserved guitar, tried it over a glass of water with children playing around and adults enjoying the singing of the guitar, discussed the asked price, handed over the benjamins with everyone in the room staring at the pile of them, said thanks and went back home under pouring rain...in August jeje.

Either a wrong neck relief or a bent neck....

Last guitar I bought, after trying it out a bit I said I wanted to buy it. The maker said, "The price is $XXXX, I only take cash."

I said, "I happen to have $XXXX in my pocket," laid it on the workbench and watched him count it. After chatting for a while, I left with the guitar.

Old good cash....In case you make business in Europe, it's good to know that in some European countries is now forbidden to pay by cash more than 1000 euro per time and if you happen to make a deposit in your bank for more than 2000 euro cash, your transaction is automatically pointed out to the commissioners.
I think this has something to do with anti-laundering rules and prevention of fiscal crimes.
For what I see, the most of the ordinary people don't care too much and keep preferring cash payments.

For at least 20 years in the USA banks have been required to report to the government any transaction involving $10,000 or more in cash.

The $1,000 bill was removed from circulation before that.

Long ago there was even a $10,000 bill.

Now some people are suggesting that the $100 bill be discontinued, since it is the predominant medium of the illegal drug trade. I understand that many in Europe are advocating discontinuance of the €500 note.
