I try not to get into the heat of battle on ebay. I pick an amount that I'm comfortable with and I stick to it. I've lost bids by $1 and it pissed me off, but I made my limit and I stick to it. Apparently 1969 was the last year that Martin used Brazilian Rosewood so they are considered collectors guitars. Though I've seen early 60's D28s going for 6 or 7k, not 69k. Walk around one of the guitar shows sometime to get a real eye-opener. The first time I saw a $500,000 LesPaul I about peed myself. I have a '35 Martin Tenor that I WISH was worth a few thousand. But then I probably wouldn't have it hanging on the wall, would I? I live pretty near the Martin factory and I've talked to some of their staff. Even they are amazed at what the older models are going for these days. Tony On 1/5/07, Paul Richards <paulrichard10@adelphia.net> wrote: > I had someone do that to me recently on eBay.
