I'm pretty sure that sellers on CL and the Bay have lost their ever lovin' minds.

BTW an Epi Explorer is 399 new here, and I sold mine for 450 because it had a TP-6 (88 value) and Duncans added (no originals supplied with) plus an onboard EMG PA-2 preamp (29 value) and with an excellent bag (40 value)

Still, basically I got a killer price for it used after all.

[Katastrophe]

Nothing wrong with that, IMO, as you added aftermarket items and improved the guitar. That adds value.

I'm afraid my dog ruined the resale value of my Blackheart amp. He likes to stand up on the cab and bark at the security monitor. Maybe I can sell the head and just keep the cab.

Naah, just drop the price another 20 for the damage.

Why do you have a security monitor? Bad neighborhood?

[kiteman]

No, the neighborhood's pretty good but I had windows busted out on my old car and others did too. When I got another car I put two cameras up. They can see at night too and I have a VCR hooked to 'em to record overnight.

Seems quite a bit of vandalism going on.

I was just looking around at Teles, just seeing what they are going for, on CL and the 'bay.

The prices are absolutely nuts, and way overpriced. Folks charging what MAP was on the instrument when it was new.

I see y'all (Commodore 64, Duffy, Brian and others) coming up with these great deals. They ain't around here, that's for sure!

Not that I'm gonna be buying anything in the near future, but I might be willing to trade sometime sooner or later.

Sheesh... Folks is just greedy and proud of their guitars!

/whiny rant over.

one thing I'm fortunate about where I live, you can't swing a dead cat and not find a good deal on gear in the nashville craigslist
teles..? from squires to vintage ...you will find it.
I'm sure some sellers are willing to ship.
