[Mellotronists] eBay M400

2004-03-23 by John Hofmeyer

Yeah, I did notice the parts listed this weekend.

Interestingly, I had just won an auction for a Hammond
BV organ and a Leslie 122 in Sacramento (about 1 1/2
hour drive from my house).  Although I had the winning
bid, I did not meet the reserve.

I sent an email to the seller, inquiring as to their
plans with the organ (...not mentioning a price...)  I
KNEW that a mellotron would show up as soon as I won
that damn Hammond.  So - I've put the Hammond on the
back burner and I'm watching this 'tron.

The reserve hasn't been met, yet - I suspect the
seller has based the price on previous 'tron sales.  

I just wish they'd start minimum bidding at the
reserve price - then everyone knows where they stand.

...I get my next payment on Wednesday, which is when
I'll re-visit the listing....
