aw man I am jealous. Congrats, but I hate you...haha jk. Happy playing!
I imagine a heartattack would have insuede if I had won.
Congrats, and I hope you enjoy it for a long time!
I'm so jealous that I can't even really be happy for the guy.
I haven't been able to try and play it yet- broken finger still healing.
Which reminds me of my night in the ER a few weeks ago. I asked the doctor "When will I be able to play the banjo?" He said "In three weeks". To which I replied "That's nice- I could never play before..."
That was my guffaw of the day!
Good one!:laugh:
Good One....:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:
thats awesome...I better never see it on EBAY...JK congrats!
Nice to have a girl finally admiring my instrument.
for some reason i thought it would be a little more beat up
take good care of that thing, man
it isnt used all that much....
wow
yeah..wow...it must be his broken finger...

Had the banjo signed. "Scott Avett's 1st"
Scott's first banjo ever? How did I hear nothing about this contest before today?
oh good god!!
awww....i remember entering that contest back in the day.
sad that 2 years ago seems back in the day, but it sure does.
and nice sig!! was that his idea or yours?
Gotten some emails about this thing. I've considered selling it, but it wouldn't be purely for financial reasons. The thing sits under my bed most of the time with the case collecting dust. I don't play much, but even if I did, I'd rather try on something less unique. I'm sure there are Avett fans that would appreciate the thing more than I do. Of course that doesn't mean I'm not a fan (I know that some will view this as blasphemy). In conclusion, I haven't decided what to do yet.
dorp check your pm's.
I'll give you $19.95, plus 3 Sham-Wows! if you act in the next 30 minutes....
I'd offer more, but the New Year's shws have already wiped me out.

woah that's cool. save it. you'll regret it for a long time if you get rid of it.
dorp,
I don't want you to rush in to the decision, but also sent you a PM in case you are still considering selling.
dude dont sell it. but if you do sell it, sell it to me
Just put a post on here under tickets or something and let everyone bid on it. That way it'll at least partially ensure a true fan get's it (as opposed to a reseller or a Hard Rock Cafe, actually, that wouldn't be so bad, then we could all go see it). I don't even want to tell you this thing will be priceless someday. I'm going to predict right now that it's worth about $1200 site unseen.
Ok, time for someone else to own it. The banjo in question should be on ebay later tonight.
on this board? hope you'll post a link, if not!

Wish me luck, I know you think I'll need it.
For all the hardest roads we have to walk alone.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200401508018
Starting bid: US $999.00
I'm out!
Oh, Lord.
A new Mac for X-mas, or Scott's banjo.
Decisions, decisions.

I know money gets tight, but your nuts for selling this. I would sell organs on the black market before I gave this up. Matter of fact, I think I will sell a kidney to bid on it!!! Message me if willing to negotiate on price.

But their good times come with prices
And I can't believe it when I hear the jokes they make
At anyone's expese except their own
Would they laugh if they knew who paid?
Hmmmmm.
its not that nice of a banjo, but certainly a gem.
I will give you my first-born child for that banjo. Seriously.
It's a $250 banjo, but that's obviously not its real value in this case. Give it to David. He has everything else and is the official keeper of Avett history.

Rejoice always, Mark
I assume it has an aluminum pot in it. I remember when they were doing the banjo giveaway they said it still had the original strings on it, he must not have played it long.
We all just spent our money on NYE tix, and there are others saving up for Australia/Europe trips next year...I don't think anyone's gonna bite right now. (crazy, huh?)
What is the chronological history of this banjo (pre-contest giveaway)?
The banjo would actaully be an upgrade for me, but of course it would only get played once, then hung on my wall for ever and ever and ever and ever.
