Need some honest Pricing

[xenophobe]

I just want to say everyone is throwing bullshit prices at you

Best thing to do is to go on ebay, do a completed listings search on used guitars that actually sold. right now, that's looking kinda bad for you.

So you want to sell a MIJ SL3? I'd put it on ebay with a price of $799 or $899 with a Make Offer and see if you get anyone willing to buy or make an acceptable offer. That's what I'd suggest doing.

I paid £500 for mine a few years ago. Been trying to sell it recently for £400 but not had any interest. £400 for a guitar of this quality is a bargain right?! I'm not desperate to sell but I have a PC-1 and an SDX which I'd rather play if it comes to a superstrat type guitar so thought I'd lose this one.
Looks like we'll just have to hold onto them mate.

I'd have to agree with the $500 price. I've bought a fairly new USA SL1 black ghost flames with case for $850 shipped. I love MIJ axes - probably have more C/Js MIJ than any other guitar. But the lack of binding on these and the RR5 kills it for me. I'd rather get an M6 or a 650XL for that price range.

Yep, the lack of binding does my tits in. Otherwise my SL3 is about the best guitar I've ever owned.

.......the chances of getting more than $600 for a dead-mint SL3 are slim and none, and Slim just left town.

Seriously, a Jackson guitar is a lifelong commitment, because trying to sell one is just too much hassle.

Lol Classic lol

I tend to agree with you and thank you for your comments but I also don't want to call bullshit on anyone who is just trying to be honest.
It seems people are not willing today o pay for quality instruments. It really show if you go to your local music store and just look at the amp offerings now. Around me there is not real professional level amps on the floor anymore. It's all small 1x12 combos and practice amps. Rare will you see a 2 x 12 let alone a manly 4 x 12 new with a 100 watt head from anyone.
Maybe I'm living in the past with that thinking but I like having a strong head so I can do anything I want with it and not be stricken to the to me suck ass tones you get out of a lower wattage 1x12 combo.

Sadly, the average buyer for used Jacksons is one of three things:
1. a skinflint tightwad bastard who wants to buy for as low as he can so he can come here and brag about how he fucked some guy on Ebay out of a fair price
2. a "Metalhead" who doesn't work a real job because nowhere he wants to work will let him wear Slayer t-shirts on the job
3. a poor perpetual college student who will never actually leave college to get a job for anything he went to college for, but will have more degrees than a thermometer by the time he's 60

Perhaps a bit jaded? Are your listings not moving fast enough for your liking Newc?
