What would a store like that give an owner selling it to them, for instance for the prototypes? They're listing each at 1450 free shipping.. what would be some educated guess as to what they actually paid the seller?

Usually 50% of what it will sell for, but not always. I got $900 in trade on a 2010 Dean Z at my local GC. They priced it at $1599, so who knows?

My local shop gives 75pct to the seller on consignment.   Should get at least that ow u r gettin screwed. 
 

if you sell outright tot he shop expect less.  60pct or so.

Regarding the Daytona.  I have no knowledge of that particular guitar just a general question to HFC because my memory is fading on some of these things…..

Was Seafoam green offered in 1993 (which is the neck serial number).  It seemed like most of the early ash bodied/maple neck Daytonas were 2 tone Sunburst or transparent colors.  I thought the solid colors came with the switch to alder which came later.  
 

Does anyone else have an opaque color Daytona from 1993?

Guitar Centers in the Chicago area pay 60% of the estimated retail value (based on recent Reverb sales).  Cash or trade value.  I expect CME would be in the same ballpark.

YOINK! Thanks for the heads-up, Hbom!

 

Glad it found you Rob. I hope it's as nice in hand as it looks in pictures.

Looking through those today, it's interesting that all the Hamers are for sale with shipping, except the Daytona! "Local Pickup only." WTF?

It has some bumps and bruises so they probably don't want any "buyer's remorse" showing up after the fact.

Now that you mention it, I think you're right. Which makes me think there's a decent chance the one at CME is a refin.

I asked... they'll ship it 👍

I think they randomly throw that in there..local pickup only; there was a Bogner 2x12 cabinet that I looked at earlier in the week that originally was local pickup only, I asked why that is and they decided that they would ship it.. why local pickup only in the first place? Who knows

Glad the '81 Proto sold, that was killing me.

There is now an 82 cognac colored prototype on there for the same price, 1465, but it's pretty beat up

Yeah, not nearly as tempting as the black one.

Was just a wild guess.
