A Mac SE30 is one thing, but a cello is another entirely! I play the guitar, and I own two guitars. One is an el-cheapo that I paid less than $100 for, and it's the one I bring along with me when I go on trips. My 1995 Guild JF30-12 that used to belong to Jimmy Buffett, now THAT little beauty stays with me at all times! Someone once offered me three grand for it. After I laughed at them, I showed them the photo in my wallet of me standing next to Buffett himself as he was signing the guitar's headstock. Funny thing was, I only paid $100 for that guitar. Jimmy had received it free from Guild with the understanding that he would use it when he was playing a concert in Daytona Beach. I stood in line for an autograph after the concert, then when it was my turn I told him how much I liked his guitar. He told me about how Guild had given it to him for free, and that he preferred his Martin D-12 to the Guild. He then said he had his eye on a surfboard with a shark painted on it in the local surf shop next door. He said if I would go buy it for him, he'd give me the guitar in trade. I asked him if he would sign the guitar, and of course he said yes.
Funny how one little signature can turn a $900 guitar into a $3000+ collector's item. I'll have to remember that the next time Jimmy comes to town. Maybe I can get him to sign the Mac SE30 I'm going to get from someone on this list. That would be a truly unique item, to be sure!

The serial number was immediately sent to every music store and pawn shop through out the county. It never showed up. There are junkies who don't have the brains left to know how difficult it can be to sell some items - they just need, but their pushers can be quite connected. So far that is the only logical explanation we can come up with as to why some one would steal a cello in a small town in a poor county and successfully get a way with it. Their supplier must have moved it through their connections a few counties or states away. You might keep an eye open for your SE on eBay. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John-Robert La Porta" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Compact Macs" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, April 29, 2004 4:19 PM Subject: Re: MaCube availabiltity > Haha could be.....really I dont know that anyone would take it unless > they actually really wanted it.
