Hi,

saw this beauty today...

http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7398347413&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

few dings and dongs, but looks good overall. Seems to have a high reserve price?! :oops:

Also on ebay USA

Seems priced a bit high to me, too. $800 for a LS-60 and reserve not met. Plus $135 shipping.
 
I noticed the shipping qotes are increasing, saw recently shipping costs for about $ 260 to Europe (insured/and w/hsc).

Seems they smell the rat !! :lol:

Or they will compensate lower prices.

There are no images at katana's!

Maybe import duties/taxes have gone up? $260 to tack on to a winning bid is crazy to me as that's around 1/3 - 1/4 the price of a nice Japanese guitar. It pretty much makes you buy a high end one as who would pay $260 to ship a $400 guitar?

Another LS50 reborn, reasonable price, nice look, reasonable shipping charge...

I don't think the taxes are the reason. Why does the rest ship at "normal" charges?
Demand determines supply - and some have checked that there is a big demand in the US and Europe. :cry:
Unfortunately I forgot the seller's address. I canceled it when the auction had ended. There was a great disparity between price and shipping costs.

Hi magentaplacenta,

I?ve just remembered the ...bay-name: bline_records !

Take a look at former offers - but also take a look at the feedbacks.

People don't bother about it!

I think the major reason for that is the approach to something : I must have the item at any price!
I know it from myself!!!!!! :oops:
