PSA: ‘80’s Chaparral, red, stickers, near Chico CA (CL), was $3 hunsky, now $6 hunsky, N/A

[topekatj]

This one requires more of a road trip than I’m game for. This was listed for $300 last night (8/30).

That appears to be a smokin' deal.

[Dave Scepter]

Late 80's model... 1 owner since 1993?... hmmmm 🤔

[Victor (Fret Friend)]

There is no way that that is going for $300!!! Bogus sale...

[1 bottlerocket]

Or stolen?

[topekatj]

My guess is that whoever listed this has had it lying around for years, has no idea what it is or worth, and wants it gone.

I guess anything is possible, I hope someone here local can pick it up for that price 👍

And now it's $600...

Somebody obviously tipped him off... "probably trying to convince to ship"... still a great price tho~

[Tortious]

The 5th fret inlay appears to be missing.

No idea if the bar is included.

Case appears to be workable but possibly not original/correct.

Still a decent deal, kinda surprised it's still there, even at $600. Guess they don't 'want it gone' that bad though.

Ok, who pooped the deck on this deal!?

[hamerhead]

Yeah, even at $600 it's a great deal.

Somebody really f***ed up not grabbing it at $300.

[Victor (Fret Friend)]

Did anyone buy it?

[bry4321]

Ad is STILL UP!

  If I didn't own enough super Strat guitars already including my Chapparal Elite 90 & Diablo II guitars, I'm local and would buy that.

Buy it and trade it for something you do not have.

Buy it and offer shipping to a HFC member 😉

Flesh wounds.

  if someone asks "can you can ship?"   Unless they are totally brain dead,  they're going

to start checking values on line.

He listed it for $300... that brain dead ship has long left the dock

PM received. I'll respond back!

Is there anybody on here close to where this guitar is at? I live England but I am moving to Canada. I could send you the money if you were able to pick this up for me and ship it onto my folks in Canada! I would of course pay you for your trouble! George (Hamer95USA) has offered to help me out with this but IMO he is too far (3 hours) away to help. Hit me up if you can help me purchase this guitar: Victor...

[Steve Haynie]

Vic, in some parts of the USA a three hour trip is not that big of a deal.  When you get to Canada you might find out you will be travelling a bit yourself.
