Price check, MIJ Roswell Rhoads

[col]

I've been thinking of selling my Roswell Rhoads for something new. What's the going rate nowadays? There's some inflated prices on ebay now.

Mine is near mint, bought it NOS a few years ago from a local store, has the original hard case.

Different markets sometimes means that value of a certain piece can vary from country to country.
USA, Europe and Japan have often different demands and markets for some gears and as a consequence, I’d say it’s difficult to estimate a specific common price.
I had the further proof of this a couple of days ago just in this foum, asking for the average price of a Marshall preamp in a thread, discovering that with the average price they ask for a JMP1 in USA, in Italy you would buy two of them.


Plus, yours is a very particular guitar. Not common.
The shape, the 1H configuration, the fixed bridge...are all features that make it a particular piece.
You must be lucky, finding a collector or someone that falls in love with her to obtain the higher sale possible, otherwise you could wait long.


I don’t know how the north European market goes, I can give you only some examples.
I noticed some of those here in the main Italian online music announcement site thru the years. I remember a green Roswell gone for 300 Euro, another one is in these days online for 490, but I think that price will lead for along wait. Another one (black if I don’t remember wrong) at 500 Euro and I have some doubts that the seller obtained what he was asking for.


Not easy to estabilish a single price.


Anyhow, Good Luck if you decide to sell!!

The last one on ebay sold for $700 shipped. Seeing how it's in the promised land, you can probably add a good 20-30% premium considering vat and international shipping.
