Same with me, I checked every day until one popped up. When I inquired as to when the next bach was due in I was told late summer... two days later there was one on the site for sale so I bought it.

Watch out for the big shipping from those Chinese auctions.
Its very common for them to offer it cheap then charge several hundred dollars to ship.

That means $400 USD (United States Dollars). Ouch.

I see the Rondo SX lap steels advertised regularly on eBay through a seller in Australia, with prices starting around $450 USD or so. There are many fine vintage steel guitars on eBay for much less than that.
