Rhoads Pro Pro price check?

[thebigz]

I have a Rhoads pro pro I'm planning on putting in the classifieds soon. Looking on ebay, looks like prices are about $600. Is this right? Seems low. If it is that low, I figure I'll hang on to it.

[Rich#6]

I think that's low. A few hundred more.

[Rich#6]

If you're going to sell it for that I'd take it.

If I'd seen a Rhoads Pro selling for $600 on The Bay, I'd certainly have tried to snatch it up. I'll echo the earlier comments here and say $800 (at least). I seem to recall having seen one in Guitar Center's used section on their website for around that price recently.

I suppose it wouldn't hurt to list at $800 and go from there. The real question is...how much would it take for you to let her go??

I've always thought the Pro was a bit over valued. Considering USA Rhoads can be had in the $800 range, I can't see paying that for a Japanese.

I see them for sale for a lot more than $600, but I can't say that they actually sell for their asking price. I'd say $600 - 700 is probably in line with a price you'll find an actual buyer. I'd say start high and negotiate down.

If one has managed to score a RR1 for $500 recently, then yes $600 & $800 is overpriced

If one has managed to score aN RR1 for $500 recently, then yes $600 & $800 is overpriced

Fixed

And you know that's an exception and not the rule

[thebigz]

I figure the super bowl halftime show just upped the price of a black RR by at least $200

[Awake69]

I think that's only if it shoots FIRE from the points.

I know there is a lot of Jackson collectors, including myself. Some things are real important and will detract the value fast
If you considered a dead mint one with original case and candy being the top end I would say $1000 isn't unresonable at all...Then you start subtracting
Bad or unoriginal pickups -$100
less than perfect electronics -$50
minor wing dings -$50 to -$250 depending on severity
dinged headstock point -$100
Broken headstock or wing damage more than 1" long = parts guitar
missing any orginal hardware -$50
No original case/no candy -$100

So there you go. Whats your guitar worth?
