| I want to sell my 1995 Collector Edition Ovation but I don't know what to ask for it.
It is in near mint condition. Ive tried ebay but it didnt sell, so Im thinking about taking to a local shop, but I dont know what to accept for it.
Anyone got any advice? |

Location: SoCal | As in any sale, best to have some pictures and a DETAILED description of the guitar.
Also, to avoid the "I'll give you $100.01" offers, what are you asking for it.
You can upload pictures into the gallery if you don't have a website.
Good luck. A lot of sales have been made here. |

| Thanks...I do have it on Ebay right now for $719
I know the guitar was purchased for a lot more when It was new, but my question is, what should I expect to get out of it?
Is $719 reasonable? Should I be getting more, or is that to high?
What is the guitar worth? |

| Thanks for the response..
I guess there is now way to tell the value of a guitar before selling it? |

| Thanks
What about taking it to a place like Guitar Center or a local guitar shop? Any idea of what they might give or what I should accept.
Im trying to get $600 from this guitar.
So if anyone here is interested, I will do 600 plus actual shipping if paying by check or money order.
If you want to pay by paypal, I will do $620 plus actual shipping....
Thanks. |

Location: Warren, OH | I haven't been watching e-bay recently, but I've seen several go through in the last year in that ball park. I think the pickup system is a bit special and may appeal to a narrower audience than say the Optima that was used on the 94. I agree, you're in the ball park for price.
Good luck! |
