Pricing Help Please

Dave, you may be thinking about the PRS that BCR Greg sold for $800.00 and reasoning, "If that was worth $800, this one can't be worth more than $600."

That was my first thought, too. Truth is, Greg sold that CE for $400.00 less than it was worth. Even with the dings, your buddy could sell that SAS on ebay for $800.00 in a heartbeat. If I walked into a Guitar Center and saw that guitar with an $800.00 tag on it, I'd have it rung up and in the car within two minutes. Assuming the case was included, of course. /emoticons/default_rolleyes.gif

I think the SAS's are more expensive than the CE that Greg undersold (I really wanted that guitfiddle!). I was thinking this SAS was worth $900, but maybe it's worth less. I actually turned down a dead mint SAS from another friend last year because I played it and didn't like it (too heavy mostly) so I knew I wouldn't play it. I told him that I wouldn't play it and he should just turn it on Ebay for a lot more. I think he still has it.

Oh, there are plenty of solid color CE's on Ebay for $700-900, but the one Greg sold was nicer. I did get my Custom 22 with Birds for only $1200 (with Sperzels which I prefer) and a Custom 22 with birds and 10 top for $1400. Those became my gigging guitars for most of my gigs.

 
I know what you mean.

A few years ago, you could find a PRS on ebay at a reasonable price. I paid $1,700 for the Santana III and $1,200 for the McSoapy, pictured below, then flipped them a year later for a few hundred$ profit. Had I been patient, I could have done much better. I really miss that Santana!

My CU22 10 Top was a very recent purchase. Maybe 2-3 months ago? Right after Greggles sold the CE. And I saw another go for the same $$$ since then on Ebay.

I never tried a Santana. If it makes you sound like Carlos, I'd pass. ;-)

Hey DavidE - what happened to $350? You saying the PRSes are worth more than Hamers?

LOL... Actually Jon, the most expensive guitar I ever bought was a custom order Hamer! ;-)

I'm just saying that the PRSi work better for me at gigs.
