    FS: Besson Sovereign 968 GS in Great Shape

    This British-made Sovereign looks very nice and comes with the original case. This is the smaller bell model with the more traditional leadpipe design, so it is more closely a next-gen New Standard. It is the preferred model for those who thought the 967 had a sound that was too diffuse (which I thought, too, sometimes, even thought I played and liked my 967). The GS model has a floating leadpipe. Serial number indicated this was made around 1993-4. Shipping is low at $45. Starting bid is $3,199.

    SOLD FOR $3,199

  2. Seller has a 99.7% satisfaction rate besides, on 4700 transactions.

    A broader question:
    I want to support the site.
    Does the site only get commish for the articles to which you directly link, or, if I click through a link and bounce around Ebay for five minutes and eventually buy the 15th thing I look at, which might be a garden hose, do you get commish for that as well?

    Good question! In theory the affiliate link from my site is supposed to "stick" if you look around at other items during the same session. I was trying to check my report just now to see if I got any credit for items I know I didn't link directly, but the portal is down right now. I'll keep trying.

    1990 would be too early for a GS. My money would be on 1994, maybe 1993.

    Right! I should have remembered that. The original post is corrected to show 1993-4. Thanks!
