Pricing a Model 2...

[xsentrick]

I currently have a Blue Model 2 that is in excellent condition. The only flaws are an inch long crack in the finsh in the neck pocket and a small chip on the tip of the headstock. I am thinking about selling it, but I don't want to low ball myself, ya know. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Not that this would add any value, but it is also autographed by the members of Stryper. Well almost..the original bass player Tim Gaines is no longer in the band, but it does have the replacement bass players autograph. hi name is Tracie Ferry.

Thanks!

I don't think the autographs will help it too much as far as selling price. They have been going on ebay in the 300 dollar range, give or take a few bucks.

$30 to $300 is what I've paid for all of mine and the $300 was drop dead mint with the jt6

The sigs of Stryper may actually hurt the value if they can't be easily removed! Now if it were Wayne Charvel's or Mike Shannon's sig...

[sully]

...lol, or anyone else who would have had nothing to do with the guitar!

stick it on ebay, i'm sure you'd get 250-300ish for it.

they would make me not want to buy it.

[sully]

I've got my eye on a neckthru Hondo signed by Ricardo Montalban. What's a fair price?

[sully]

well, if he signed it "i am mister rourke, your host....welcome to fantasy island!" then i'd say you sir, are in the money. conversely, if you can find a montalban sig on a nice piece of "fine corinthian leather," you've got a freekin' goldmine on your hands.

nah, it's just because I think Stryper suck! their guitars suck, their silly color scheme sucks, their christian rock shpeil sucks, even their name sucks.

suckeee!

Damn Sully...I'm LMAO here. I bought my wife a Buick Rendevous a couple of years ago. She's four years younger than me, and it's our first vehicle with leather. I used to give her hell saying "rich Corinthian leather" all the time. I had to explain to her who said it, and why I was mocking her car by saying it. She's just a touch too young to remember the Chrysler New Yorker commercials. Glad to see I'm not the only one who remembers him saying that.

By the way xsentrick. I would say with good pictures and description you would pull $275 to $300 on eBay easy. The electric blue and black Model 2's are hot right now.

i'm with ya, but i'm already over my "being a meanie" quota for the day. see the winger thread.

oh, and ricardo montalban's pimp hand is strong.

I impose no such limitations on myself!

I mean, I know Reb is a sick player, but fuck me if he didn't really prove that until the Erase the Slate cd.

Winger ...and my buds used to give me shit for listening to "pop metal" like Ratt.

What if it's signed by Sully
