I bought my Jackson Stars from Japan direct from the shop.
It arrived in perfect condition. I've had an RR1 from the USA, an Ibanez PGM from Sweden. All ok!
What you're describing about is something I experienced too. I wanted to buy a Kevin Bond in green and there were 5/6 sellers all selling...
Hmm yes I guess that looks like the only sensible way to solve this problem.
I like the asthetics of the main post with all the colours and individual links but I think those days are long gone!
Ha I've been wanting to sort it, it would take agessssss though. I'm sure I'd have to copy paste every single link from a new hosting location, I'm not even sure why they're not working.
Is dropbox dead nowadays?
