straightblues Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 This just popped up on the Los Angeles area Craigslist. Maple top with 59 burst but it has dots on the fingerboard. Looks extremely clean. Looks right but experts here might notice something I don't. Price seems good. Good luck to you guys. https://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv/msg/7542504350.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobB Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 That’s a sane price for one of those. Seller will probably field a bunch of offers before selling it for $3500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickrock999 Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Haven't been on this site in a while. I'm in L.A. (although an hour away from this guy) Not a lot of Hamers go on sale on the L.A.'s Craigslist I've looked a lot in the past. How good of a deal is that? Not really an Explorer guy though.

bruce919 Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Too bad I'm not going to Cali any time soon my company has a plant near that location. Id swing by and grab that one. Some one get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will not lose money if you buy at that price. You will have an excellent trade item for other Hamers, or even some of those other brands of guitars.

I'd drive an hour for that guitar... you can EASILY make $1000+ reselling it ~ Although you may have to wait a tad until this inflation subsides a bit... but maybe not, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seller will probably field a bunch of offers before selling it for $3500. You hit the nail on the head. I Talked to him, nice guy. He was surprised that he got several calls right away, and now is reconsidering what he wants to do. He checked reverb and knows what it's worth now. However, Craigslist is full of people who say they are coming and don't come. He will probably pull the ad or raise the price. I told him to let me know.

Hamer95USA Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 The Craig's List ad has been removed. I hope that someone got that Standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What can you do? Obviously, the seller has seller's remorse and became aware of the actual value of his guitar on Reverb and other platforms. There are other guitars and sellers out there. Maybe budget more money for your purchase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cary Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 I hope someone got it who’s wanted a Standard for a long time, and is going to play and love it, not flip it to make a quick thousand dollars. I’m all for capitalism, but scalpers add nothing to society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthes Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Sorry, but even in the current market, I think $4k is still high for a Plain-Jane ‘95-‘97 Standard with dots. Of course, there are people who think they can get $13k for a hacked up ‘81 with a Kahler… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
