Going rate for Soloist Pros?

[superduty01]

The music store/pawn shop by my work has a Ferrari Red Soloist Pro for sale. I didn't get to look too closely at it as it was behind the counter and they were busy. From what I could see it looked to be in really good condition. I called them after I got back from lunch, and it has the original chainsaw case, and they want $799 for it. Is that a decent price for one in good shape? I'd love to own one, since everyone raves about the quality of the Pro series.

Especially in today's market, that may be a bit high. Unless it's in mint condition.

Although... I just looked at ebay completed listings and a Std went for $333 and a XL went for $610. Put it this way, it's more than I'd want to pay..

[MakeAJazzNoiseHere]

I agree with Warlok, in the current market a common Soloists will go for just at a grand. The Pro's seem to usually be just a little less, so if it's a good one, then that seems about right.

If if it's really nice and somehow different or more desirable to you than a more common USA Soloist then I would pay that much.

However, it being a pawn shop they're probably into it for $200 or so, so I'd take in 5 or 6 $100 bills and put them down on the counter and say "I can leave this here and take that guitar, or I can leave with the money I brought."

Yup six sounds like a good number.

[Axewielder]

Yeah if you go in with cash and hammer them with the fact that it is MIJ, you might snag it for six bills.

[MakeAJazzNoiseHere]

Cash talks at the pawn shop because half that shit is off the books anyway.

[DonP]

Fight for $500, settle for $600.

$799 is not bad for a MIJ Jackson. Steep but if the guitar is mint, a good deal I'd say.

This.

Absolutely this.

[Trussrod]

They go for between $500 to $600.

as other have advised here, go in and check out the guitar. if its what you like and want, then take 5 $100 bills and lay them on the counter next to the guitar and see what they say. if its a pawn shop, they are into it cheap, and cash is king. they love cash.

Oh, and I never seem to find those $1000 used soloists that you guys mentioned you fukars must scoop them all up before me.

[MakeAJazzNoiseHere]

I have seen a few go for just under a grand, and a LOT go for just over a grand ($1100 for a trans blue flame top) but they're not Buy-It-Now they are auctions.

[BayRocker]

$500 + $30 shipping is what I paid for mine a couple months ago...$500 cash should seal the deal.
