RichG Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Say about 25%, on average. Plus for us NY residents another almost 9% in sales tax. I have bought two new Martins and a New Goodall over the years from Stan. Always a pleasure to work with, but the sales tax thing just annoys me. I'd rather buy privately and spend it on shipping or drive. You can go a long way on $180. and that's just the tax on $2000 or so. I'd love to have that J45 Legend, but the tax on his asking price would be about $366. That combined with the inflated price puts it out of reach for me. I don't mind spending $ but I don't like spending extra $ for no perceived value. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroAussie Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 That 52' SJ looks extra tasty, with just the right amount of soundhole scratch mojo ..... Loved Mandolin Bros when I visited NYC three years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluesKing777 Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 I didn't look at the prices! I admit I was looking at the pictures... BUT All those whining about the prices I hereby sentence to live in London: http://www.vintageandrareguitars.com/guitars/Gibson/Gibson-Acoustics/8039 And that's Pounds in the price, not US Dollars! Or worse, sentenced to live in Australia where the guitar shop sales formula is something like: "Think of a number and triple it!" BluesKing777.

stein Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 On some of the more recent used ones, the prices were higher than new! Were they not? Looking at some of the new ones, the prices/discounts weren't all that great either. In light of that, here's my thoery: these are all ASKING prices. I would bet "asking" them for a better price results in a sale, and they problably sell most of the time at better prices. I think what they have "list"-ed on the used Gibsons there are problably the highest asking price they could get away with, but not the selling price.
