XVIII? - Chicago CL - $150

Sean,

I sent two e-mails.
No response yet.
My brother is waiting in the wings to pick it up until my son arrives on the 4th.
I'm hoping I hear from the seller today.

Good luck, Gene -- really hoping this works out for you!

If you haven't heard back yet after two emails, well, good luck. The vultures tend to circle around the good bargains on craigslist pretty quickly these days.

I just got an e-mail from the seller.
The e-mail contained only two words....
It's gone.

Thank you to everyone who wished me luck.

Sorry to hear Gene, I had my fingers crossed. I was probably already late as the ad had been up for 23 hours when I posted. My experience has been that the deals go lightening fast here in Chicago.

Dee,
Thank you again for unselfishly listing the ad and at least giving someone here a chance to maybe purchase the XVIII.
I hope that it went to a forum member and not an antiques dealer looking to flip it for a profit.
When we are passionate about things (like phonographs), it is disappointing when a purchase falls through .
Best wishes,
Gene
