25th Anniversary

[Guest @tlas]

Hey guys, I was hopiing to get some guidance in prcing for a 25th Anniversary (red). I have one, and may have to sell. I have seen them go for $450 or so (for the broken one recently) to as much as $900 (quoted from a dealer. Mine has one very minor nick on the bottom (side facing down when playing) and otherwise is tip-top. Is the range I quoted above reasonable? Thanks in advance.

I don't think I'd sell one for less than $600; selling on for $450 is insane!

Between $700 and $850.

The one I got for 450 is awesome. Can't even tell it's been fixed playability wise. The fix was very well done.

The features are cool, mahogany, mahogany, mahogany with striations.

Being it's a limited edition 1999 only guitar, I'm sure you could get quite a bit for it.

Insane, maybe, but done in the spirit of passing on a good deal to a fellow HFC'er. I sold it for what I paid a week earlier, and know it will get played rather than end up living a lonely life in its case, seldom seeing the light of day. Z

I'm with atquinn. Between $600 and $700 is about average for a used 25th in very clean shape. Under $600 only if you've gotta sell it fast or if there's extenuating circumstances like a repair or serious player wear.

Being a limited edition hasn't seemed to increase its value yet. Pretty much everyone here acknowleges they're great sounding guitars, but the "25th Anniversary" printed on the headstock hasn't made it a sought after collectible yet. There are plenty of them around, and Hamer still makes the same guitar, just under the model name Artist Mahogany.

I'm sorry. I was just thinking Ebay. The people that buy on Ebay are hard to predict but I've seen alot of stuff go on there for more than you would think.
