What is the current ESP MX (explorer) market like?

[EXPcustom]

So what is the current going rate for the ESP MX explorer market, I got one or two I bought directly from Japan years ago, one is a 1992 model with the factory case and near mint condition. I'm debating keeping vs. selling them but then I remember reading about 6 months ago one sold for 20k a black one made in 2019.

I'm just curious what the current market is on these.

i dont know, but i remember making a bet with someone here they would be 15k by 2030 or something, and i think a few have might have come close to that already actually.

So no one knows what the market rate is, was going to offer one up for sale here first at a good price before I go ro Reverb, I just need to know current market value and am not having good luck finding most recent sales just older ones when they were much cheaper.

Rare has hen's teeth so hard to pin down a number. Did you check Reverb and ebay completed listings? About as good a gauge as you'll get. Good luck on the sale.

Talk to Parker at Diablo Guitars, he’s got a few for sale and has also sold a few in the last year

Diablo has had a few sitting around 16k. There's a one on reverb for about 14k.

I havent thrown any offers in as im not in the market but id imagine 10-12k would move somewhat quickly in today's market

It's what someone's willing to pay, I wouldn't get delusional. Seems they get more overseas.

The ones I've seen sell in the U.S. are typically around 10k.

Thanks for the replies, I may actually keep mine for a while longer, seems like there is a huge spread on pricing at the moment because I'm seeing everything from 10k up to 20k.
