Title: Anyone here done business with Vintage City Guitars (Florida)
Post by: Rayjay on May 08, 2014, 01:31:20 PM: I'm not sure if these are the same folks as the one in Michigan? I know the one in Michigan had a couple BBB strikes on it. The one in Bonita Springs Florida has a guitar I'm quite interested in. Has anyone here purchased from these folks online? Ever had the money to spend and are scared to death to spend it? That would be me. Thanks!

I require a free two or three day approval period before I buy from anybody, and no return(re-stocking)fee. That way if things are not up to your approval as if you were at their store to inspect it, you can return it. The only out of pocket expense that way is the shipping cost. So ask them.

six ratings out of the latest 200 should have been negatives &
it seems that accurate item condition disclosure is a concern

the stock shown on the webpage parallels the eBay inventory
http://www.vintagecityguitars.com/inventory/index/page:1/sort:Guitar.price/direction:asc (http://www.vintagecityguitars.com/inventory/index/page:1/sort:Guitar.price/direction:asc)
the interesting thing is the shipping location is no longer disclosed on eBay
