I'm going to own up here:
After weeks of unsuccessful attempts to procure a "bargain" on ebay, I finally got sick of being sniped in the last 2 seconds of an auction. Really, really sick of it :rant:
So, I picked out a likely looking blade, and put a ridiculously large "maximum bid" on it (can you see where this is going...?).
Long story short, I'm now the proud owner of a 13/16 "near mint" JR hollow at the bargain price of 113USD (plus P&H).
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I won. But I seem to have defeated my purpose of bidding on ebay in the first place...:shrug:
On the bright side, I may just have set a new record for JR hollows on ebay :w
On the down side, I've just let eveyone know I'm the shmuck who drove up ebay prices for Joseph Rodgers blades :eek:
James.
