                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Pre-war Martins are very valuable, it's true (1942 qualifies as 'pre-War' by the way).  The pricing is due to the rarity - there were less than 100 D-45s made during about a 10 year period from the mid 30s to the mid 40s.<br><br>Still, the seller is dreaming.  Or scamming - look at the bid history, with multiple bids from one guy, who frequently outbids himself.  A sharp buyer tesing to see where the reserve is?  I don't think so...<br><br>Prices for pre-war Martins (at least so far) have not topped $175K, and that's for mint condition - not one with 1964 tuning keys and a top crack.  This guitar is certainly worth high five figures, maybe even $100-125K.  But $200 plus?  Not a chance.]]></content:encoded>

Interesting that the reserve on that one hasn't yet been met.   Anyone up for a game of <I>Martin Roulette</I>?  Each person puts in a bid at the next increment, hopefully not triggering the reserve.  Winner is the one who puts in the highest bid <U>before </U>the reserve gets met.   :twisted:]]></content:encoded>
