Ryder35 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Hi all, Looking on ebay and noticed one of the first run Robots. No bids and reserve not met at £750. Has some marks and scratches but nothing too bad. Can people have a look and tell me what you think. Is it genuine and what would it be worth do you think.

elantric Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Looks like the real deal to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steveyp Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Hi John Looks genuine and exactly like mine, don't be fooled by the £750 starting bid I suspect the reserve will be £1500 plus. Music Ground in Leeds have 2 of these for sale at £2200 so if the seller has done any research they will be aware of current asking prices. But maybe they are desperate for cash and you could grab a bargain, contact them through Ebay and try your luck. BTW mine is a top quality instrument surpassing the playability and build quality of my 2008 LP Standard and that is not even taking into account the Robot technology. I purchased mine from Ebay and have been very happy with it. Hope this helps you decide. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryder35 Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 So, how many were made of the initial run and what did they sell for new? Do people think they will make a good investment in the short to medium term or will the continue to drop in price. Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duende Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 The frenzy seems to have died down a bit on e bay; A few months after they were launched they were going or a lot more than there original price. I think in the long run (say over 20 years plus), if they go up significantly, is any bodies guess. I imagine financially they will probably at least hold their own. I think you should go for anyhow. They are great sounding and playing Les Pauls in their own right! Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
