This should make you feel good about the one you picked up Iceman!

Bit on the high side? (granted, I pd-- brace yourself-- 4 bills for a clean X150 from Craigslist... but I love these 3 wood laminates and HAD to have it) :love:

Also, someone should give the seller a hard time for quoting this site's description without a proper reference :toopid:

Seller tells me he put a link to site in listing but Ebay removed it -- thay are trying to prevent links to other possible selling sites and block communication outside Ebay - they are also now starting to remove email addresses in messages !!

I have three X150s and have paid an average of $425 for them. As far as the Phoenixes go, it *has* to be the collectible one, since it has the laminate body, the active electronics, and all the premium trimmings. They are also a real delight to play.

drd, I see the seller has a reference to the website now- hope I didn't glance over it before and speak prematurely

JB, I guess $330 with a hard case and shipping included is not a bad deal then! Definitely would be worth it to me if I was in the market. I was just second-guessing my purchase based on the fact I paid $75 for my X149! But deals like that on electras seem like they're getting harder to come by. I was told someone from the 'AllExperts' website valued the X150s at $4-500.

If I only had W.E. Was kinda hoping that one had slid under the radar. Now I will admit (sheepishly) that I did not in fact win that auction. I was on my phone making a bid but then hit the mother of all 3G deadspots.

Just about tossed my "smart" phone into the Mississippi River. So still looking now. Someday boys..... someday.......

He added site reference after I chatted with him -- seems like a good guy, doesn't really want to sell, but needs the $$ - times are getting tougher !!

More of a Kahler than a Floyd Rose. And it is an imitation Kahler too. This does make me feel good about only painting mine! (LOL)

You are so right, I remember when you could pick up mint condition top of the line anything except the armstrong acrylic for $75 to $250.

The best deal I ever got on a Mat was a white Westone Spectrum ST like new with the original case for $200. Just a tad of chrome pitting on the bridge from age.

My favorite as you all know is that black x130 I got for a hundred. It is beat to heck, but dang I love that one.
