It's actually a Mellotron, Vance, not a person...
 
I noticed the seller says it's been in his/her studio in the Czech republic 
 for ten years which I find odd because the seller is located in the  
Netherlands.
 
So I wrote to ask what color it is.
 
I won't be going to pick it up because the post says it ships to the United 
 States but it's for local pickup. Since I live in the United States and I  
have a truck with room for it, I'd like to pick it up. However I can't  
figure out how to drive to the Netherlands or the Czech Republic from Northern  
Virginia even though it was my intention if I bought it to use a "great 
circle"  route to get there quick and save a bit on gas.
 
Mapquest sucks!
 
I am anxiously awaiting a reply to my question before I place my first  bid.
