question of worth

[redluke22]

so i'm thinking of selling my dk2, and i wanted to know how much i could get for it.

it was a standard black dk2, and i switched out the duncan designed pickups for EMGs (abot $200 worth of p-ups) and im including the hard shell case.
it is in very good shape, just one small blemish on the headstock.
the original retail price was $599.
what do you guys think?

hmmm
so tough to say
if someone is looking for one, esp. w/those pickups, you may get what you paid for it.
if you have to rely on this economy, and the hassles of e-bay, you may see only 400 or so.

shitty time to sell

I say, hold

Sell the EMGs and the case separately. You might get more for the neck alone than the neck attached to the body, and no one is going to pay you what the EMGs are worth on top of the guitar and the case.

I think $300.00 tops with the EMG's and the case.$250.00 tops if you put the original pickups back in and include the case.
I'm not being a dik but the standard is half of what you paid retail.
I've been buying and selling for a long time and that is the way the market is.
If you go to a music store expect a lot less for it in a trade.
Just because you paid X amout for it and added pickups don't think you will get back your investment.
Newc is right on target.

yeah id agree with straycat. i sold mine for about 250 without a case so....yeah i'd hold on to it for awhile or sell it right after christmas when people got $$$ from all their xmas cards.
