Perry Werner Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Thanks for the delayed response Dave. I was half kidding (no quarter kidding about my query. I would really love to see this instrument up close. It does look like a "cracker" as you folks say over there. I'd also love to see some money so I could even consider it. It's on my mind and if I can think of some way to take a look and purchase I'll let you know. Also, should you drop the price again, let me know as it might push me towards robbing a bank!

saguaro_squeezer Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) Perry, it's almost as cheap to find a cheap flight from NYC and go have a look in person. WIsh I was on that end of the country. Edited October 26, 2011 by saguaro_squeezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod: Don't think I have'nt given that some consideration! I just received a private email from another C.net member who says he is in negotiations with dave and the instrument is all but his!!!!! Not sure if that takes me out of my misery or puts me into more! Best, Perry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelly0312 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 so Dave; take me out of my misery and say that you did sell this lovely piece; and for a very high price...I look at the picture every day; look at the ledgers and then enlarge the pics and count the keys...concertina players are can be so... anal....Michelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david robertson Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 The answer is that it's sort of sold! There is a respected member of Cnet who has agreed to buy it, but lacks the wherewithal just at the moment. However, he expects a richly-laden argosy any day now, and I have promised to hang on to the instrument for him until his ship comes in. Meanwhile, if anal retention is the problem, I always find prunes an acceptable solution... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptarmigan Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 P.S. For the curious amongst you ... yes, I finally did find the "wherewithal"! Good old Santa certainly came up trumps, this year! Merry Christmas folks. Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
