I went ahead and placed a bid on the X330 that I originally agreed to buy from the seller in his Craig's List ad, but he suddenly decided to list it on eBay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Electra-X330-MPC-/2 ... 3f06e2af3b

Hopefully, it will play as perfectly as my other supercharged X330 which is missing the pickguard and is a little more beat up than this one. If so I may end up keeping just one. Of course now that I placed a bid the thing will probably skyrocket, even though it has been just sitting there all of this time.

That is a nice one and has case and modules also. Maybe he has not been watching the MPC module prices of late. I wish you the best of luck. I love my X330. Good luck and no bed wars from me.

This serves to illustrate that it's worth it to try to clinch the deal when on CraigsList. I've bought six guitars off of CL (non-local that is), and the key is to offer them well above the shipping cost, like two and a half times as much, this makes it worth their while, lets the guy know you're serious, and gives the seller a warm fuzzy feeling. The majority of CL listings are well below auction prices, so you're still ahead trust me. Just my two cents, Mike.
