I think it makes perfect sense that the music store would tell them it is worth 30k...which, for a brand new american deluxe strat, is not far off the rrp...although significantly above any actual price...especially second hand.
But here's what I think: The music store (which is literally across the road) does not want a second hand usa strat going cheap across the road. So tell them they sell for R30k. Either that, or say 2k and then buy it themselves.
It's unfortunate for cash converters that the shoppers who are looking to spend R30k on guitars are usually very well informed and researched (as you would be if it were your R30k).
Not a band point.
Cash converters in park meadows gets there prices from the Music Mate in that center.
I have tried to explain the difference between retail and actual price to them but they don't seem to understand.
The CC by my house put up a pair of M-Audio BX5's for 6k. I offered them R1500 which I thought was very fair.
A few months later they are down at cost for about 3k. In the old days I picked up a great condition Yamaha G231 II nylon for a little under 300 bucks.
Those were the days.
