Andy chose UPS at + $170, in addition he's looking at 24% of $2000 plus UPS brokerage, usually about $60. It's still a very reasonable price to pay for a JEM, but it's definately no freebie at over $700

Its deffinately a reasonable price for a Jem

It would cost a few hundred £££ for me to get a 555 new here

(not that i would have bought a 555, just to give some perspective).

Either way, ive had a stupid grin on my face all weekend

Yeah I'll bet you've been wearing one helluva grin.

Good on ya!

I bet you can't wait to get your hands on the guitar. The wait must be agony.

You made a wise decision. My 7VWH is hands down the best major purchase i have ever made (excepy perhaps my air ticket to Japan, but even that's a close run thing). And for 400 quid you can't grumble. Really chuffed for you mate.

Isn't the Bad Horsie the BRMR? Every time I read BMRM, it just sounds weird, you know BM, bowel movement?

That'd be a better name for the Root Beer model

You know, if Rich could scare up an LNG for that price, that might make a nice prize as well.....I'd take a slightly used LNG over a Bad Horsie. It's all good, though!

Will this 2nd contest make us "site contributors?"

Show me (and when I say me, I mean you) the money, eh.

**jemsite** · #41 02-27-2006, 03:24 PM

we can take this to PM, but "contributors" are reserved for the few who helped contribute with no strings attached (nor $3000 prizes dangled)

It's no biggie. I've been meaning to send in $20 for it, but have just put it off. I'll probably send it in when contest #2 starts.

I was one digit off, but I'm glad a non-Jem owning Jemster won the guitar as I have 3. If I do win, I would like to auction it off again if Jemsite is okay with that for no more than $1500. As a Jemster would get a break on a Jem & I could sure use $1500. And the reason I would do this is because I don't want a VWH & I just purchased a BRMR & I'm getting it customized with chrome pups & knobs like another that was posted here before.
