GutenAbend,
If you have a D2HA, why were you begging, in a previous thread, for someone to give a Collings? You also wondered how Collings owners can afford to buy their guitars and quite obviously, you also own one. This seems confusing to me.

I was kind of wondering the same thing but I thought I would be "Politically Correct" and just let it slide. To qoute from another post on our Forum
"What the Hell Man". What is going on GutenAbend? You got some splainning to do!

This is a awesome place for like minded Collings Junkies and it's open to all but you made quite the Grande Entrance. I hope that we just don't understand your humor and that we haven't been infiltrated by the outside world. Best of luck selling your D2HA, I assume to pay for your custom ordered guitar.

Best,
Papple

What I don't get is that your location is listed as Ohio, and yet your ad is the same as one on Craiglist in Santa Barbara, CA. Whassup with that?

It's not clear from his post, but my impression is that GutenAbend is alerting members to an available D-2HA. I don't get the feeling that he/she is the seller. On other forums GutenAbend refers to himself as Andrew, not David.

At least that's my read.

The hell with politically correct...this guy is wacked.

Sorry, but I had a few drinks while I played out tonight...couldn't hold back.

Andrew, David, Santa Barbara, Ohio, "my beloved Collings".....

I think this guy, whoever the hell he is, needs an Estaban!

Kia Manuia,

I almost questioned this post by Gutenabend myself, but then I figured that he's probably just forwarding the ad from Craigslist. I don't think he's the one with the guitar for sale.

to all:

my name is david (user name 'bestofjillhives').

this is my d2ha, and i am in santa barbara. on january 29 i posted my add with only the url to my craigslist add. when i saw this posting, i just assumed this gutenabend user reposted it for me with all the details. but now that i've given it more thought, i'm thinking he/she may have "hijacked" my posting it an attempt to phish a payment from this list's users. and i can't pull gutenabend's post myself, but perhaps the list moderator can.

What name did you use to post your add(sic)?

you only registered on Monday.

hate to say it, but this whole thing smells of fish. pick this one up in person is my advice to any potential buyers.

sorry for the skepticism, but one can't be too careful these days.

hmsbeagle, as i stated in my previous post, i posted the original add with my registered name: "bestofjillhives." i have since deleted the post, which is probably why you can't find it. thanks for the advice. of course i will only complete the transaction in person.

here's the link to my add on craigslist:

http://santabarbara.craigslist.org/msg/256590260.html

i've asked "gutenabend" to delete this thread that he's started, but he has not done it. i've also reported it to the list moderator.

this forum is obviously poorly monitored, considering my original "for sale" posting has been hijacked by this "gutenabend" user, and is STILL UP AND RUNNING. this is too much trouble anyway. i'm headed to ebay.

"and what does the fact that i registered last monday have to do with anything?"

generally it lends credibility when person has a history of posting or transactions on the forum. not having a history isn't necessarily bad (you gotta start sometime), but it requires a bit more verification on the part of the buyer.

also, you state that you posted your ad "several weeks ago". You posted it 4 days ago. why misconstrue the facts? I don't get it?

I'm not saying that you are trying to scam anyone. It's just that the facts really ought to add up.

anyway. good luck with your ebay sale.
