Prototype value

Well, the sad day has finally come. I've got two kids in college, and have to sell some gear. Most of it is pretty easy to set a value on, but I am stumped on what to ask for my '81 Prototype. Hamers are not very popular in this part of the country, and I can find no completed sales on ebay. I don't remember what I paid for it back in the early 90's, but I'm sure it wasn't much, as I was mostly broke at the time. The guitar is in great original shape, and plays like a dream. Can anyone give me some idea of what would be a reasonable starting price on ebay? I've bought a lot of stuff there, but never sold anything. Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

That is a nice Proto. I love them. One of these days...... /emoticons/default_tongue.png

That case looks like a Rickenbacker bass case. I'm no expert, just saying.... If it's old and original it might be worth a buck in itself.

 
That is the one! Thanks for the input. Any advice on the listing itself? Description, pics, etc? I'm a total noob at this.

 
Really nice Prototype and as far as the ad, it is pretty straight forward nice link to Andrew Large information. Hopefully, she will go to a great home.

Good luck with the sale.

Hey,

Does the 81 prototypes have the super small necks? or are the necks like the later "Phantom" prototype reissue?

 
Small neck's. This particular one is HOT I really dig it. It is sad they don't go for more. I'd love to get this one but I just don't need it.

I see the listing marked as ended. Did you sell it?

I hope the stars shined upon you enough that you got to keep it. /emoticons/default_smile.png
