Heh I figured that was you, hopefully somebody will bid yours up that high. Betcha you'll make some more if that happens eh?

Now about those decals... I went out to the Excelsior website last night thinking I'd put a shopping list together. I should have really and meant to do it before the transition but real-life reared it's ugly head and I never got to it before Phred sold.

Will you be changing the decal sets that will be available? If not, any chance you could put up the lists and just disable the ordering? Just wondering.

The last Pershing 1a model I posted on Ebay went for over $100 but the guy was happy as a Larry according to his feedback he left so who knows what this one will bring. I just need an influx of cash since i just sent all mine to Phred. If you check you'll see I have a bunch of stuff on Ebay ending Sunday.

I hope to make more Pershings but man, I have so many things going on right now my head is spinning. This is the last one I have for now.

The check went out to Phred this morning so hopefully some time in the middle of next week he will ship everything my way.

Then I have to set it all up and get it working!

Please, please, give me some time to do all of this.

The only change to the existing decals sets I am going to make is to add more and more. Phred is sending me all of the files so hopefully I won't lose any.

No sweat, I was just hoping to see the list so I can reference them on Ninfinger to see what I want. Most of the old website didn't have pictures. It'll wait.

I'm into vintage audio equipment and awhile back I was looking for a good TEAC 10.5" reel to reel tape deck. One day there were a few of the model I was looking for listed so I started tracking a couple of them. I picked one of them up for $175.00 plus about $50.00 shipping. About an hour after I closed on that purchase I noticed another one that I was tracking sold for $950.00 - the same model except that it was listed as not working. Go figure.

This is a good case for not having the bidder ID's masked. It would be nice as a bidder to see if any of those other bids are being placed by repeat bidders on the sellers previous auctions.

Whenever I see something going that high it makes me wonder whether there are any shill bids being placed. On the other hand I'm sure there are people out there willing and able to drop three or four hundred bucks on the kit.
