BEST OFFER total $ to Forum Gretsch Lap steel

Post by Len Amaral »

OK, every once in a while I donate an item where all the funds to the SGF. This is a fairly new Gretsch, sorry not an old one, but playable and looks cool. There was a ding on the bottom end and I made a tooled leather patch that actually looks cool and this is where you would bang it anyway so it is protective.

Let's say best offer over $75 and free shipping and ending Dec 15th PM PST?

Ho Ho Ho..... :)

Holy cow! Free shipping, too? Even with a leather patch it's worth my $160.00. These things sell for $350.00.

All right!!!!!

Post by Dale Gamble »

Hot dang! This is really unexpected. I thought sure more people would bid on this thing. I guess I should send a big thanks to Tom Snook for withdrawing his higher bid. I hope you have a Merry Christmas, Tom. Thanks also, to Len Amaral for making it possible. With the leather patch, this is probably going to become a collector's item. :D
