diablo81 Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Hi, I'm thinking of selling my Hamer Diablo I think it's a 1992 going by the serialIt's a natural finish with a Seymour Duncan JB and a Dimarzio neck pickup and it has just a volume knob.Was looking for some advise as to how much it would be worth. Cheers guys

It just depends on who wants to buy and how much they are willing to pay.Post pictures here and post a price. If you don't even get any nibbles, you'll know you set the price too high. If you get best offers lower than your price, you'll know you are getting closer to the right price, and maybe patience will get you the price you want. Or it may mean you need to come down a little to get the sale.
Feynman Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Just to fill in the lower spectrum of Nathan's entry, I think of $600 as the top of the range, and not a quick sale price. Over $600 and I think you may lose 80+% of the market. Then again, I'm not paying as much attention these days. Edited to add that the natural and amber ones are my favorite, so I'd personally pay toward the upper end for one of those as opposed to the green or red varieties.
cynic Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 There have been a couple here that were bumped for months at the $600-$650 price point.

Over $600 and I think you may lose 80+% of the market. Then again, I'm not paying as much attention these days.I sold one for $800 + shipping to a guy in Ireland last month.So it does happen, but you have to be in the right place at the right time.I'm probably too high on my price range because I *really* like the Diablos and have a harder time separating their value from their market price.The Diablo market is a buyer's market, I guess, and has been for years.
Nathan of Brainfertilizer Fame Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 ...even more so than Hamer USA guitars in general, of course.Cynic and Feynman are probably more accurate than me. They are smarter, and smarter buyers. I'm kind of an optimist.
geowolves Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Last two at Guitar Center were/are listed at $500. One sold a few months ago and shortly after that replaced by another at the same sale price. Both listed with a case.

I was thinking about selling one of mine, but I guess I'll listen to my own advice and recognize I won't get anywhere near what it is worth to me.
Nathan of Brainfertilizer Fame Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Just checked out the one on Guitar Center. It has been modified with humbucker rings added. That hurts the value a little.

atquinn Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Don't try to upload them directly. Load them on a photo hosting site like Photobucket and then link to them.-Austin
