Promised Photos of my score.
Local Score, 1989 Jem777VBK, in Very nice shape, 400.00

green truss rod cover is AWESOME! :P

very nice dude. I like it a lot.

Thanks Man, I'm still interested in the stuff we talked about, when u get a moment hit me up please.

killer deal!!! I've always loved the Jems with the 'sour green apples' on black look! that is a very nice guitar at a great price - you definitely scored big time - congrats!!!

Thanks man, I about passed out when he brought it out of the back room, I had to keep from shaking while digging out his asking price, and not seeming to anxious to grab it and go screaming out the front door.

Jeez! A 777VBK a couple of weeks ago for $424, a 7RB last week for $300 and this week for $400, another 777VBK!! I don't believe the bottom is falling out of the market, more like they're falling out the bottom of the good luck fairy. Hope she comes to visit me soon!

Looks real nice and very radioactive. You know those clear plastic films with patterns on them (not a decal) that you can stick on glass with a little moisture (adhesive free!) that comes off easily? You should try and get a green radioactive version for it. It would look cool. Like this one on a T-shirt: 160606019388.

Edit: Just realised that both VBKs I mentioned are one and the same. Well passed my bedtime I think. Two Jems under $500 and in decent nick is still going some though.

I need to find a shop like this!

There out there, scary part is, he has a wharehouse full of vintage stuff, but he goes through it so slow, and will not anyone in the back to wander around.
I now have it to where I come in once a week, and over the weekend he digs through the list of names I gave him, Ibanez,jackson,charvel,kramer,carvin,fender,gibson , ect....
and we go throught what he dug out, he gives me a price, I say yes or no, if its no, he throws in the back......CrAzY, but I have pulled so many awsome guitars out of there!
My latest score out of there was a 76 Gibson SG, in awesome shape for 250.00 out the door!

Perhapse the guy has gone mad

No, its just that 5 years ago he bought the bussiness from a man that had closed it down 10 years prior, so he really does not know whats all in there (the old owner never kept good records,) with out going trough it one item at a time.
I believe his thoughts are, quick money now insted of waiting for the top dollar in the future.
He bought the bussiness for pennys on the dollar, so he figures he is making out also, Win Win for both of us.
And I pay cash always, with a hand written bill of sale incase I ever run into a legal problem.
With economy the way it is, he is happy to see me once a week.
And with the Dollar being so weak (Correct RICH! LOL) prices are dropping every where, look at sales history on ebay, People are hurting.

I never said the dollar wasn't weak, I said the Euro was weak also.

Maybe you spend too much tome running around here boasting of all the cheap deals you get, or starting new threads to ask if something else [which is already dirt cheap] is too much....

And for some reason, you seem to be an A$$ hole to alot of people on here, why?
Sorry I have scored alot of things CHEAP, and yea I have bragged about it! Just like every one else that has scored a deal, why the Tude?
If they were way to cheap, why have the items not sold?
Whatever bro, your comment was to the guy that said the dollar was weak, and you jumped right down his throut, stating it was the Euro, not the dollar.

I'm confussed as to why you care how I spend my time running around this web site? Are you the site police, regulatory commission to how many post about what I can post? Please clear this up for the Newbie!

Just wait I have many, many more score's coming !

Guys, post in a civil manner please.

If anybody has been the A-hoile, look in the mirror. I've know Jeroenn for 15 years, I didn't jump down anybodies throat. I mearly stated a fact when he came back against somebody else stated how the dollar was in the toilet. Well, so is the Euro.....

The tude against you? Maybe when you copme back and tell me I'm full of ****, when I wasn't even talking to you. None of it had anything to do with you until you decided to chime in also......

Sorry Jono, but that needed defending.

I would never let any bully me on the play ground at school, wont happen here either!
