Too funny. I kind of did the same thing. I made an offer that was not accepted until a week later. I received an email saying from eBay that I owed a seller money. At first I thought my account was hacked, but no it was me.Something like that!
On the dealer's eBay listing, I made an offer. I got some sort of error message or something that made me think that the offer was below the limit they set to automatically refuse the offer. So I moved on and forgot about it, and kept on searching and thinking about it.
Then the next day, I got an email saying the offer was accepted and another email with the invoice.
I was like "hmm, I guess I just bought a 408!" LOL...
Thanks for sharing that, I feel better knowing someone else did a similar thing!Too funny. I kind of did the same thing. I made an offer that was not accepted until a week later.

Yup, I learned that from yankeebulldog. He is the KING of getting sweet deals off eBay, including the nicest R9 I have ever played, at a price that blew me away. (Still have Dibs on that one!)Well done Pete...that's exactly how I ended up with my Original Sewell 2x12 too....sometimes ridiculously low offers ARE accepted!

sweet!!! that is a sick looking guitar!This one (the one on his leg) is waiting for me to pick up at my dealer after a successful negotiation that wrested it from Paul. I heard it played by both Paul and Nicky Moroch through a bunch of amps and it sounded great:

Awesome!! Just read the specs on Brian's site - Pernambuco Neck?!? You lucky dog, those are only available now on Collection Guitars!
This is basically a Violin Guitar without the Celtic Knots, and with 408 pickups.
Also I just noticed this has the pickup config of the Collection IV, a Bass pickup in the Treble position, with the Treble wind. A very unique guitar!!

Built with a Pattern Neck, Honduran rosewood fretboard, Mammoth Ivory birds, a Sterling Silver headstock eagle, and a stop tail. I am very fortunate that Paul was gracious enough to part with it.
A truly unique guitar, and a wonderful addition to my herd. Thanks Paul and all the folks who had a hand in the creation of, and then my acquisition of this guitar.

I just ordered a Standard in Powder Blue from Guitar Sanctuary. Comes Friday, and I am really stoked.
