This was originally listed at around $2399
He has dropped it probably 8+ times. Curious what you guys think he'll have to do to get someone to buy?
I thought it was originally a 1885 when I first saw it and he says he owns a high end pawn store in tampa and this came from a doctor. Wonder what he has in it.

My experience with pawn shops and guitars is: I brought an old electric in for a sale, not a pawn. I had been offered $100 for it and I thought I could get $150. The pawn shop offered me $50. I asked him why. He told me that he would put the guitar up for $150 and that he would probably get $100 and the extra $50 was his carrying costs.

So following that logic, at most he has $800 in the thing. Probably less.

Got three very nice deals from pawn shops on eBay...Las Vegas and two from college towns - 1619 CL, Anniversary, and my Wurlitzer 12-string.

Guess you have to find a shop that loans to cover gambling debts or tuition.

My 1615 and 1619 came from pawnshops (local and eBay, respectively). Got 'em for what I think is a darn good deal. I'd never sell one to a pawnshop, 'tho, they'd offer waaay to little for the true value.
