I just lost an auction for the prettiest old harmonica.




Don't suppose it was one of you?

How much did it go for Narc-man,

my Guess is the bids were low,Bidders didn't want to spend that much money for it then some cheapo outbids you by $1 WHAT A PISSER!!!!!

Bro if i wanted to win that Harp or microphone my game Plan is i bid big in the last few seconds
of the auction,

Bro that Harp i would have bid $100 the worst thing that happens i is get out bid,

or i win the Harp for $1 more than the Highest bidder
wich possibly can be as low as $10 or $50,

check my Youtube page to see some Green Bullets i won cheaply at username nastyolddog:)

Everyone bids in the last few seconds, you need a snipe account, so it's a fair game. Then you don't have to worry about waiting for the end of the auction.

I set it up to start bidding with four seconds left on the auction, and if my max bid is high enough, I win!

It went for $67 dollars. I knew I was in trouble when the bids started going up when I wasn't bidding. It had more than one other person after it. When I started following it I told myself I'd get out at $20. Then I told myself I'd get out at $40. Then I thought of how nice it would be to have one really nice tremolo. I looked everywhere on line and I couldn't find another harp like this. The problem is, I have money set aside for a big purchase, and it's a luxury purchase (a new computer). It's a dangerous time for me to be looking on eBay. I really do love art deco style harps though. I'll get one one day.

You should be thankful you don't play electric guitars.

Does anyone have any idea what is up with the holes on it? I wonder if maybe it was one of the trumpet styles at one point?

Buddha, just for future reference, do you/could you make custom combs for tremolo style harps? The other pics of this showed some pretty heavy wear on the front of the wood.

probably. I would have to see one first and then do the drawing.

Y'all shouldn't be giving away the secrets while here are still some people who don't know how to bid.
