Just thought someone my like a Good Deal! :party:

Not my flute and I have nothing to do with the sale. Just doing my Civic Duty! :slight_smile:

might want to fix the title…not

:blush:

Done
Deal
Denny!

It appeared in my preview as ( F.S. - Burns Mopane flute with Slide & Rings $450 - Not Mine ) The “Mine” got trimmed.

Funny how the trimming of one little word can alter the entire context of the message! :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks Denny!

funny that people always forget to mention what model the flute is…

Does it really matter, for that price?

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.

:boggle:

Sorry!

Where’s that NOT when you need it? :stuck_out_tongue:

Heck! I’d buy it at this price!!!

Don’t feel so bad Casey, at least they aren’t trading it for a Banjo… :swear:

I don’t. In the past, I once traded one of my flutes for a Banjo.
