Re: [Harp-L] Buying harps on Ebay]]



Who bought the Johnny Cash harps? Maybe the same one who bought this neat little item:

The key of D is correct, but Hohner had not introduced the Blues Harp model in 1961,
so "rare" seems like an understatement.
So much for the personal guarantee of authenticity...
I wonder if they got their $12,000?

Rob and Joe: As someone who actually has bought harmonicas on EBay, I was very curious about just how the seller could prove the provenance of these marine bands, so wrote to ask him if he had any proof other than his word..and just got back a response, the gist of which was: 1) that he has 'no actual proof' but he personally guarantees it, and by looking at his feedback one could see he sells only quality merchandise and intends to keep his good feedback rating intact; 2) that "he assumes the buyer could get them 'authenticated' and should rest assured that they would grade as authentic", but he never felt the need to because he already knew they were authentic and has had them stored away for almost 19 years. 3) that he saw another set 'just like them' (also from Johnny Cash) sell for $640 on EBay a week or so ago (in answer to my question about the extremely high price... why he jumped his to $800 is anybody's guess, but he did say the $800 "was just a starting price and was negotiable") ;) 4)They're in B and F (in answer to the many questions he's gotten about the keys). What I'd like to know is...just who on earth paid $640 for the other pair of marine bands?
Joe: I'm interested in your 'Mopar' handle...have one of those in the garage...1969 RoadRunner (meep-meep).
