Just thought someone my like a Good Deal!
Not my flute and I have nothing to do with the sale. Just doing my Civic Duty!
PS EDIT: Now you can get picky, this is an email I got from the seller, and it’s no longer $450!:
Thanks for your email. I apologize, but my wife put that listing up incorrectly. She referred the price from the invoice from when I took delivery of the flute in April of 2004. I had worked out a deal with Casey and he had $450 on the invoice rather than the $750 I believe they went for then. I’ve updated the Woodenflute listing and > I’m asking $700 for it> . I apologize for this, and sorry to have misled you. By the way, there are no issues with this flute, and > it is a standard model> . The flute is still available and if you’re still interested, I would be happy to send pictures.
Actually, it still is a good deal, not just a steal! Sometimes things are too good to be true! By the way, I believe this person is a Chiff member, but only has 2 posts to his credit here, if I’m correct about his name from his email.
