RichRS6 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I know of a legitimate offer of over $15k for an early one that was turned down.How long ago was this? The market does go down as well as up.The big difference though is if the guitar was actually for sale at the time.If I wanted to sell my 1980 4 Digit Standard I'd want $4,000+ (No it's not for sale)I know it's not in the same league as the 77 we are discussing here which has a higher value to a collector due to it's early manufacture date and low S/N.If someone was trying to buy it from me and I didn't want to sell it it's a matter of how high they're prepared to go before I caved in, I don't particularly need the money at the moment (thank God) and it took me a long time to find it so they'd have to go pretty high before I let it go.

bubs_42 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Well, I hope he got what he wanted out of it. We were all looking forward to the grand show it would have been at the end of the auction but alast that didn't happen. IN THE END, I for one am thankfull that at least some of Hamers Work is being appreciated. I can't wait for the book to come out, Hamer Guitars were a snap shot in time of the History of Guitar Building and so many times they go unmentioned.

cmatthes Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 How long ago was this? The market does go down as well as up.The big difference though is if the guitar was actually for sale at the time.This was a few years ago, but not at the peak of 4-digit pricing. The guitar was not for sale, but a few five-figure numbers have been tossed out by unrelated prospective buyers on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Marshall Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I think the guy is a douche for making such a big deal about not taking any offers and letting the auction take its course. It would have been better to be silent.I do hope the guitar is legit and someone here found her a new home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTMN Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Maybe he thought it wasn't getting what he really wanted out of it and got cold feet on letting it go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
