Genesis on Ebay

A new entry on eBay for a black Genesis Standard in New York: http://cgi.ebay.com/...ME:B:SS:US:1123

 

Looks to be all original but fairly well used and no case. Also appears to be a factory 2nd.

 

At asking price, it appears that the seller had a few too many hits on the crack pipe. [rolleyes]

 

In my experience, Standards in decent shape sell for around $300, Deluxes for around $400 and Customs for $500 to $600 depending on condition.

 

Much more than that and you should at least get an original case and free shipping.

 

This one is worth maybe $250 IMHO.

s***b & o***9 won;t win, they never do.

 

It'll be somebody with a Powersnipe account....

 

Useful numbers on your last post Brian... thanks for that... but US$271.60 was indeed where this one stopped, with s***b taking the prize.

 

For sure o***9 would be calling s***b an "s***b"!

 

Cheers,

Wasn't me, Wasn't me! I bailed out when another deal came my way -

Looks like I'll be locally grabbing a mid/late 90's CRATE amp:

 

Crate Vintage Club 50W 2X12 Class A/B Tube Blonde Tolex Amplifier

$100.00, fully functional.

Owner is tired of lugging around a 70lb 2 x 12? [thumbup]

I've read the reviews, it's a 50% split between LOVE it/HATE it!

Tube 4-EL84's in the power stage and 4-12AX7EH's in preamp.

 

But, that's another thread. This one is about "Da Genesis".

Here's a clever and relatively inexpensive way to resurrect a beat up old Geni: http://cgi.ebay.com/...#ht_8887wt_1347

Since it's just the basic Standard model, will probably never be worth much more than $300 even with the fret job, but it doesn't have a cracked control cavity and appears to have the original pickups. The solid mahogany body takes well to an oil finish. I'll bet it plays real nice.
