Yeah, I know, it's been this way for awhile. These people are on a different planet.

Satin finish and multiple scratches, and over 4k after taxes easy. This is nuts. I wouldn't pay anything that wasn't well south of $2k. I like these 25" scale SC250's, and people think they're worth $3-4k?

yep - everyone young & old is expecting 100% retail prices both new & used.
 
Lots of delusional buyers too, thinking their paper route money must be how much it costs.

Nothing new under the sun.
 
I notice a lot of retarded pricing on used PRS. No one is paying whore house prices for a beat to shit example.
PRS is the brand that supposedly is selling used for a higher percentage of new cost than any other brand i.e they hold their value well. I watched several harder to find high end core and ten top models get snapped up within a couple days on reverb with sane list prices, however, we are still talking about 3.5k-5k used prices. The doctors, dentists, and lawyers still have money to blow, apparently.

I do agree with you though. I've watched one seller at another forum's marketplace listing guitars that are in like new condition, 100% mint. When I calculate his asking price vs a new listing it was coming out to 87%+ vs the cost brand new. I'm sorry but the guy has to be a total moron. You ain't getting that when I can be fully warrantied and have an easy return by shelling out a few hundred more bucks. They were expensive guitars, but c'mon, 90% of new cost for a yamaha? Suck a bug.
 
I paid half as much for my 10 top with stainless frets. I got a solid deal, sure, but those prices are insane.
 
i post delusionally cheap prices and still cant get rid of the shit
I had that problem too so I raised the price and my stuff sold. :LOL:

"Priced so low......it must be somehow.....defective" is the mindset now, apparently.

That's an interesting idea... Gonna give that a shot next time I'm selling anything

The worst that can happen is it doesn't sell. My stuff sat for a couple months, priced below anyone. It wasn't moving so I thought what the hell, and within 2 to 3 weeks of pricing towards the upper end of sanity both guitars sold. The wife has one of her 2k acoustics that has been sitting for a while on ebay listed below the market. I think I'll tell her to change the listing towards the upper end tonight...

That’s what a Gibson did as part of getting out of their 80’s slump. Raised prices and sales increased.

Yeah, true enough! Then if the price gets lowered a little bit after it's been priced high, it looks like great deal. Cool, it'll be interesting to see how much that speeds up the sale
 
I'm still watching used X32s selling on reverb for four times the price of new ones
 
For me when I see stuff I like to undercut the market by at least 30%-40% from an average used price.

This way my shit just sells faster, their overpriced crap makes mine look good and it helps sell within a week or sooner and I just dont have it laying around for months or whatever or forever in some of these guys cases.
