Not to brag but I paid half the price for my D-6 Stringmaster six months ago and, IMHO, it looks just as good! I guess I was lucky! The seller EVEN threw in the 4 legs and case!

Nice deal, wish I could find a nice one like that for a good price. Mine's a little "worn"

If I were the winning bidder, I'd be wondering about the zero feedback bidder who bumped it up about $500. ...

The technical term is 'shill' and this violates eBay policies. If you participated in this auction file a complaint.

I must be missing something. A really nice one sold here on the forum last month for $1,250, which seemed a fair price.

Wish I could find a buyer that out of touch for my D8 Stringmaster.

Steve Howe from Yes. I never cared for them, except the first two albums.

Wait, you mean that all ebay auctions aren't legit?!?

If I ever sell my D-6, I'll be sure to mention the Steve Howe connection! Which two albums are you talking about Joachim? The three that I still play every couple of years are The Yes Album, Fragile and Close to the Edge. They actually had a couple of albums prior to The Yes Album but I think they were out of print by the time they made it big in the early 70's. I lost interest after Close to the Edge. "Owner of a Lonely Heart" in the 80's was a particularly low point.

Along with Rick Wakeman's mellotrons and Chris Squire's rotosound bass strings, Steve Howe's D-6 was a big part of their distinctive sound during their better years.
