Wanted: Value of '82 Ibanez Artist
Thanx Klaasvakie! My friend made special reference to the gold plated pickups, etc. Does that make any financial difference?
Good gold-plated hardware is generally a bit more expensive than chrome/nickel/black.
These pickups are identical except for the color, but differ quite a lot in price:
Not sure how I would price that for a 2nd-hand sale though.
I concur with V8, Its an AR500. R12-15k .Stunning guitars, worth more than that IMO playability and quality wise. But it really depends on finding the right Ibanez collector?
- Edited
Of course, it also depends on how big his rush is to sell. He would have to be prepared to wait for that kind of asking price (R15k). Maybe he gets lucky early on, but generally that's seldom the case.
It is an urgent sale. We are talking Medical Aid claims and they have little if any sympathy ...
bernie I should add - you will get lowballed. Do not take it personally! Usually it's a trader who will offer around 40-50% of the asking price. If it's urgent 9-10k should be achievable - good luck with the sale!
I know there is at least one ibby collector out there - a guy in Bloem who has > 40 ibby's!
bernie No at all - but I don't have it. His mate did the deal on his behalf, sadly I don't have either's details.
But pop it up on gumtree, that's how he found me. All of @studmissile's links are greeeat. If in Cpt you can also chat to Graham @ Gear Junkie about consignment or in Jhb, Ronnie/Jos @ Ronnie's Allbang and Stumit - they may make you an offer, but it'll be a rather low one to purchase as stock.
