| Obviously, everything is worth exactly what someone is willing to pay for it but curious what they've been going for on ebay, here, craigslist, etc...
Thanks |

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | Several have been sold via our "for sale" section.
Do a search of the for sale archives for '05/06/07 and you should be able to determine what several of them sold for. |

| I've searched but I get a pretty large gap as low as $850. However, what would everyone here not go over? The most they'd pay? |

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | That really depends on the condition and of course the timing also. If there were a few to pick from over a given period of time, competition would tend to drive the price down a little. I've noticed a trend that seems to occur with ALMOST everything that sells used. Things tend to sell for half their original sales price. That changes of course if someting is rare or in high demand. With guitars, sometimes that holds true and sometimes they sell for three times as much as their original price. SO ... the only thing you can do is gather as much sales history as possible on your model, then ask yourself how much you've invested in it and what you are willing to accept in parting with it. ONE MORE OPTION (and many times a better option) is to consider TRADING for another instrument that you want, or if yours won't sell for a lot, a partial trade sometimes works out. A lot to think about, but definitely worth it. Good Luck. Oh yeah ... GOOD PICTURES REALLY HELP! |

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | Oh by the way ... I looked up the original selling price for that model on this site's reference price list and, depending on the serial number/year, it listed between $2400-2700. With my 1/2 price used calculation that comes up with a price of $1200-1350. |
