Location: Newington, CT | JMHO, but that's one of the prettiest looking guitars I've ever seen...I think only the '01 Collector's rivals it.
And, the sound? I don't think I've ever heard one in person, sad to say. Can someone point me to a video featuring it?
If it goes for something approaching the BIN price, that will mean they are holding their value pretty well. Especially considering the wider neck. I love it, but it's not for everyone.
Definitely on my wish list to try. |

the second for 2490,00€ = $3285,00
+1 with Bryan: go for it if you have the chance.

Location: Germany, where delicious wine is growing (Rheinh) | Well, I don't know the retail price in the US, but in Germany it was 4100,00€ (nearly $5000). Now the price is as half of it for a new one with full warrenty. This one is used, without warrenty. What is a fair price for it?

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | That's a good question Bernie. But difficult to answer, since not many have been resold that I know of. My guess would be about $1600 used and in "good" condition, but I wouldn't sell mine that cheap. In fact, my 09 Collectors would be one of the LAST guitars that I would consider selling. I also think that this one will be up for sale again. |

Location: Utah | Bernie, I agree with bvince that it won't sell for as much as it should. Used guitar prices have really sunk over the past two years, and I might even guess something like $1200 if the seller gets a bit lucky. To get more than that would require the buyer to be a bit of a collector and Ovation nut who knows what it is and how it differs from the run of the mill USA Ovation. |

Location: Germany, where delicious wine is growing (Rheinh) | I can't believe to have had such a great steal on mine, payed $1600 for a new one with full warrenty nearly a year ago. But in this time the Euro was very strong.
BTW, I'm really very happy with it and it would one of the last I ever want to sell.

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | Buy It Now price is $1,999... So the reserve is $1,799 at the highest.
$1,800? Contact the seller before he re-lists and you could get it for less than that. |
