Title: Rogue 4 on eBay
Post by: jagerphan84 on July 16, 2004, 11:18:41 AM

Hi Folks,
 
In case anyone is in the market for one, there is a nice looking Rogue on eBay.  Link to the auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=3736859922&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=3736859922&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT)
The serial number is 98Q11268.  The seller does not know the details of the construction.  Anyone at the mothership able to check into the build record for this?  The top is a striking basket-weave looking maple, very nice.  Price is a touch on the high side, but could certainly be worthwhile to the right buyer.

Thanks, Val. In other words, it's as stock as an Alembic can be (i.e., those are all the base features/specs....no options). I don't have a blue book in front of me, and I could be wrong, but I agree with Adam: $2k seems awful high to me.

When Mars was around here,I saw a new Rogue 5 there and they wanted $2300.for it in 98'.I played it and that's when I knew that one day I would own one but I lacked the funds back then to get it.I think $2K is a little high myself for this one but it looks like it's in fairly good shape.
