garyelcrrt1281733995 Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Anybody else think there's better guitars (and a whole bunch of strange stuff) coming out of the woodwork recently on CL? http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/msg/670494070.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickblues1 Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 The Chicago area Craigslist is going nuts. I can actually buy used equipment on the list for more than I can pay for it new in a music store. Sarcasm.... sadly but true. I can buy a 1998 MIM Strat for 450.00 all original with the usual bumps chips etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really have to watch sellers on E-bay and craig's list, pricing! And, as to a glut of stuff being unloaded...that will, I'm afraid, only get worse! (Or, better, depending on how you look at it?) That, and if there is even an "idea" (doesn't have to be true) that an older version (Old Korean vs. New Chinese) guitar is "better," that will drive the prices up, too. Definitely, "buyer beware!"

JayGLongBeach Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 There are also lots of "middlemen" selling off the MIC fakes for almost every brand... It's a disappointing for all the real deals out there; getting pretty tough sifting through the junk on CL... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitmore Willy Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Seems alot of them should be listed under "Casual Encounters". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickblues1 Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 There was someone last week selling a Squier Afinity with a single Duncan hot rail bridge pickup. He did not have the original parts and was asking 350.00. What are they thinking...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyelcrrt1281733995 Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 No, they all have a magic formula. Original cost + cost of modifications + appreciation = asking price. Well, you don't expect them to improve the guitar that much, and then sell it for LESS, do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
