Mustang Gal, you'll never know until you try and I would wait
until after the holidays

In the click above, the auction for those Austins have several days to go
so the bids are still low. The bids in the last 30 minutes are the
most telling.
In the meanwhile, if I were you, I would study all the listings for
Austin guitars and also read all the eBay links available to sellers.
Good Luck!!! cindy
