Great guitars!

While searching around I have found 47RI's that sold for around $4500 way-back-when.
Understand that there will never be another one of these made.
Even if DW starts producing Adamii, it won't be the same.
Insurance value? (Let's play Antiques Roadshow) At least $10K.

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR		Kurt, we a trying to tell Slothead the VALUE of the guitar.

As far as the market goes...
I have paid way below reasonable price on a few guitars lately.
Also, this market is why I have not sold anything lately.
I keep listing stuff, but nobody wants to pay me what it is worth.

Location: Munich, Germany		<p>Yep, it's a shame, That's why all my guitars are still here - and I'd love to thin the herd. But as long as nobody's willing to pay reasonable, they all stay. Even if I don't play them, they are nice to look at. Best regards, Kurt</p>

Location: Always beautiful canyon country of Utah		But there is the VALUE of the guitar and then there is what the current market is willing to bear. Is there a difference between these two??

Okay... This can be a really philosophical vs. reality question.
I paid $267 for my GCS771-4C, including shipping and case.
I would say that the Value of that guitar is much more than the Current Market.

But remember... A guitar is only worth what the buyer is willing to pay and seller is willing to accept.

Location: Always beautiful canyon country of Utah		So current market (what a guitar will fetch now) and VALUE are two entirely separate entities??

Location: Boise, Idaho		We keep changing the words. The title said "valuation", but the first post asked about the "going rate". Something can have value, but until there are comparable sales, there's no way to tell what the "going rate" is. Nothing is going. Same with market value. There has to be a market. If nobody is buying, there's no market, so no market value. Anything at the higher end is harder to value. Our house sold for much less than its value because the market was bad. Since slothead said he wants to sell it, the market value and going rate are the same. What would a reasonable buyer pay for it? Kurt may be right, but there really haven't been enough sales to tell. List it for $6K and see if you get any interest.

Location: Boise, Idaho		The young man who posted the thread about researching Ovation history has at least one #47 RI. I forgot to ask him what numbers he had. They are truly awesome guitars. I hope all the 50th Anniversary guitars are at least close.

Location: Frozen Tundra of Minnesota		Thanks Guys!

I have wanted one of these since I first saw Tony's.... But the few I have seen come up for sale either came up when I didn't have the money, or were gone in under 3 minutes. Got paid for a horse, AND my Tax Refund yesterday... and this one was still there this morning. It seemed Divine Direction that it was supposed to be mine! Who am I to say No to the Big Man Upstairs??? And the Seller came down another $400, that was all the acknowledgment I needed that it was meant to be!
