Ol John T and all
Actually that's quite refreshing to see a realy good discription of an item on Ebay for sale. Most items up for sale on Ebay hardly have a discription.
Good luck John. I hope it sells for you.
Good luck John. I hope it sells for you.

That posting passed long winded waaayyy before it was revised & revised & revised! LOL
I only buy stuff off fleabay so I don't know how to sell anything, but if I click on an item & it takes a while to load as yours did, I hit back and don't bother to wait and view it. (dial up) I like a good description & several pic's, but a lot of sellers get carried away.
Now, to pick on you a little bit. - Now that you've retired, you must be gettting a little rusty. There were lots and lots of disclaimers, but you forgot a little lawyering disclaming on the oil consumption. Every internal combustion engine uses some oil. There are no exception's. What are you gonna do when the buyer measures the oil and it comes up a tablespoon short at the first oil change???
Good luck selling the RV.
M-MAN

Yo M Man,,,,,,,,,,Heck then I rely on the oft (2 or 3 times) stated disclaimer in my description they are buying it AS IS WHERE IS and if that dont work the common meaning in the used automotove trade "uses no oil" is only relative and reallyyyyyyyy means it "hardly" uses oil between oil changes (NOT an oil burner or guzzler)........ Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm As I used to tell my kids, do what I mean NOT what I say lol

Uh oh! I sense that Ole John T will sell this RV and invest in a high dollar banjo?
Hey, if a HIGH DOLLAR Banjo would make me play better, I might just do that lol but it simply takes YEARSSSSSSSSS of play as we all well know. I have a pretty good ODE Model C Banjo (cant afford a pre war Gibson Mastertone or a Deering), it was a huge step up after starting on my $30 auction special. Got the RV sold, it didnt quite meet my reserve but a couple of the bidders got to calling and e mailing and one finally met my reserve price.
Buhave yall

I enjoyed that.
John,
A good instrument is easier to play. It all depends on the feel. I couldn't believe the difference in a cheapy, like I too started with, and a good quality one. I'm playing an OME made in 1983. Got it from my brother in law in Alabama. Lots of Gibson players around here can't stand it cause it drowns them out. I have gone to the local music shop and played the Deering, New Era. The feel is awesome, but the sound is alittle shy. Price tag - $4200
You spoke about the prewar gibson. You're right, they are hard to find and expensive. An article in the newspaper here several years ago talked about one of them banjos in southwest VA. It had been passed down in the family. Granddad played it, passed it on to his son, who lived to be 90 years old and had passed away, at the time of this article. The grandson then owned it and word got out he had it. He wouldn't sell, not even to Earl Scruggs. It was taken to Gruhn's in Nashville and appraised for $200,000. Gruhn's have one close to it on their website now. Price reduced from $125,000 down to $100,000.
}{appy picking!

John,
You might be going about this banjo thing all wrong. My eleven year old daughter who plays violin, another mystery instrument, came home from choir practice with a stack of music for the adult orchestra spring presentation that she was invited to participate. She sat and played it almost flawlessly the first time she saw it. I bragged on her lavishly, because she did well, and because she needed to hear it from her father. She replied in the way that only a child can "all you have to do is read the music and play the notes.... in time." Her advice hasn't helped me yet, but it might help you.

tnt farm, Congrats about your daughter, those kids can always BLOW OUR DOORS OFF it seems especially in learning music and operating anything digital with a key pad grrrrrrrrrrrrrr Over 60 is wayyyyyyyyyyyyy to late to try playing a complicated instrument but heck I CANT READ A NOTE OF MUSIC, I play (or try that is) to play "by ear" and I can play in time and am enjoying it so I guess thats what counts...... Hope she keeps it up, maybe someday she can play "fiddle" tunes, get her to play Ragtime Annie,,,,,,,,,Soldiers Joy,,,,,,,,,,,,,Old Joe Clark,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Orange Blososm Special woooooooooooo hooooooooooooo
