$290 with a day to go... I think I sold mine for $375 plus shipping. White is the best color for these (IMHO). Good Luck McB!!!

I suspect it will go a bit higher before it ends.

Well I guess someone out there wanted this one really bad. I expected it to go at a high price but nothing in that range.

well, the black ones that are in good shape and original usually go for around $500, so I was expecting it to go higher... so I bid accordingly... I was offroading this weekend, and right after my incident I got the notification I had won...

there were 5 other bidders. last one came in for the first time at $600. glad they didn't go higher... I still had a bit of wiggle room, but was in no position to increase my bid where I was :)

so it will be joining the headless pair already at my house....

Well congrats on the win and I must admit I also like the White better than the Black. These are great players and pack a tone of tone for certain. Best of all you can play multiple long sets at those gigs and never have a sore shoulder or neck. Congrats my friend enjoy. :up:

arrived today! wow, finish wise, it's in really awesome shape. and while I thought the Westone logo had been removed from the tail piece plate, the plate was just fliupped over! logo is there and in good condition!

color-wise, its even a bit more yellow than the Quantum I got from Mike...

The original silver case is in really good shape. a few small tears where the strings hit it on the inside, but very minor compared to the other cases I've had...

needed a light TR adjustment, and needs the saddles raised a tad...

Sounds like a good score. Please don't take it 4 wheeling! :)

well, a "light TR adjustment" was not correct at all. this one had a really weird bow in the neck. took a lot of back and forth and extreme changes to end up where it's at. playability is close to the quantums now finally...
