Saw this on Ebay, is this really the only place to get these? This guy sounds a little full of himself. His price $450 is well over what the list price is at $349. I'd love one of these but not at $450 a pop.

What a jackass.
450 is almost second hand Jerry Jones territory - keep an eye on those too on Ebay, not that many people seem to be looking for them, and there are some sweet second hand deals to be had. (Dano tone, American made, very high quality!)
Also check www.danguitars.com regularly.
i've seen that guy selling other stuff of which he claims to have the sole remaining stock, specifically an open-back high-end Washburn banjo. however, he's selling the banjos at about 1/2 the original retail MAP, which is much more fair. to be fair to the guy, though, it's not unusual to have to pay more than the list for discontinued items which were originally inexpensive...the little Electar tube amps generally go for ~200% of their (insanely cheap) original price nowadays.
Mr. T, funny you should post this. I was just online today searching for a Dano Baritone. The problem with these specific guitars is that they are the short scale versions. Danelectro made 30" scale baritone guitars, but this one is only 27.75" scale. Everything that I have read about these is that the short scale allows the lower 6th string to slap around a bit too much.
If anyone knows where I can acquire a 30" scale Dano baritone, please shoot me a PM. Thanks.
Ric- The Danoblaster Bari has a 30" scale. You can find them on ebay pretty cheap sometimes. I have one and they sound great.
Is that the Longhorn guitar, bobby?
EDIT: I just saw a Danoblaster on YouTube. Ugh. That has to be one of the ugliest guitars that Danelectro has made.
It is pretty ugly, but it sounds good. The scale on the Electromatic Jet Baritone is 30" too. Those sound and look pretty nice and I've seen 'em on ebay go for under 600. I want to upgrade to the Dano doubleneck bari if I can find one someday.
The newer Dano Baris are meant for A or B tuning with lighter strings, not E like the 30" models.
