Location: connecticut | I have unfortunately found myself in need of selling my 1989 Elite 1868 which is in mint condition with the original hard shell case. I was wondering if anyone could give me an idea of its value. I am slightly biased being that I feel it's priceless but I need to think of my family. I am just trying to get a general idea so that I am not taken advantage of, any advice would be appreciated. |

Welcome to the Ovation Haven!
No expert here, but I've been 'following' 'O's for three years and this is the worst sellers market I've seen. There are more nice Ovations and Adamii out there now than ever.
If you enjoy the Elite and it has ANY sentimental meaning, hang on to it. Otherwise, MM is on the mark.
Good luck! |

Location: Colorado | Mike, do you think the color of yours (white top) had anything to do with the sum you got for it? I don't see many that color in that good of shape these days. |
