Congrats!!!  Beautiful bass!!

What a Bass ! Congrats and looking forward to see some pics.

Wow! You're coming to the Bay Area Gathering, right? Bring it!

So you did get it, Wolf?  I guess some things are just meant to be.  Congrats!  Looking forward to eyeballing it next month.
 
Bill, tgo

I do not know if all this was fair.
Either I offer something on ebay or not.
And I wonder, that ebay US allows these games.
ebay Germany don\t allows to cancel bidding, if there are biddings on an item.
I would be very interested to know what for the bass been paid

DEAR ULF,  
                  I mentioned to the seller that perhaps he should not stop the auction. He said he made it clear on the auction page that he reserves the right to sell the item as a PRIVATE  sale locally at HIS discretion .I was not bidding on ebay. I did not make any offer to buy. I was  watching the auction trying to get  a disclosure of information for all to benefit from  .The seller offered it to me expressing that he felt that I would provide a loving environment for the Bass. Therefore I send my sincere apologies to you ULF and any one else who shares your sentiment.  The seller was also concerned about mishandling  of the Instrument during shipping.

What the seller did was perfectly legal in the US.
He might have gotten more money if the auction had completed,  
but all the mistakes he made were scaring way everyone but the local bidders.
Wolf, it looks like you got a great bass. Congrats.

Wolf, it?s absolutely ok that YOU buy these nice bass and I wish you many fun with this Series II.
 
I only think about this procedure, it was not correct from the seller to end bidding 2 days before ending...and this approach makes buying (or selling) on ebay for waste...

Thanks for your support  Bill.

Ulf  , Thank you ! I feel empathy from your point of view as well.

Always a good idea to read between the lines and the description carefully.  Whenever a seller says they may end the auction early it is a clear indication that they are open to offers.  I would have bid at the end, but someone with greater desire made the compelling offer - no hard feelings - nice catch!

Congrats Wolf. I'm glad to see a club member score this bass. She's a beauty!
