Nice Red Diamond A on Chicago Craigslist.

Nice to see seller with some brains! "We can meet at the LIBRARY!"
With the abundance of violence relative to these "selling sites" the caution shown here refreshes my confidence in simple common sense. This kind of selling means both buyer and seller need to beware.
Buying or selling, a public place is the simplest smartest way for at least a modicum of security! Hotel lobbies, banks, museums, libraries all make smarter venues for meetings with unknown people.
That and tell more than one person where the meet will take place and how long it might take, cell phones make this easier than ever.
BE SAFE!
End rant!
Oh, by the way, looks like a really nice mandolin for whoever goes to the library, meeting in the mandolin section, maybe the A/V department, sound booths for testing.

Desirable instrument. Reasonably priced. MAS flares. :(

Wow! Want so bad!

If this had been availible before I bought my ellis I would've been taking a trip to Chicago to go see it.

You don't see used red diamonds often at all.

Id still really like to see how it stacks up to my ellis.because my Ellis is a hoss. I was considering red diamond and ellis at the time but couldn't find any red diamonds a styles for sale

Exactly, that's a really good price

I wonder why it has gold tuners and a silver tailpiece?

[pheffernan]

Did anyone score this one? When I click on the link upthread, I can still get to the listing, but it no longer seems active...

Looks like it's still on the market:

I've played Cafe member (and friend) RayQ's Red Diamond A, it was very nice.

As I said, when I click on the link, I can still get to the listing, but it seems to have expired when I try to reply. Am I the only one having this problem?

[rosewoodmusic]

It's gone. (Not by me)

[Mando Muffin]

Great instruments...and a fair price.

[Tim Griffin]

Library? How can you try it out in a Library? They will shuush you if you make a sound.

[FLATROCK HILL]

'Tis better to be shuushed than jacked.

[Timbofood]

Exactly Flatrock!
Besides, you can go to the audio visual department and use the listening booth. Hotel lobbies are good for these types of meeting too. I used to recommend banks too.
