There's also a Preacher, in the same ballpark. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280435907351&ssP... | ||

OK, I've been low-balling these critters, then. -Steve W. | ||

Joined: September 2005 Posts: 3618 Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | It would make a nice extra to go with my grey Magnum Bass. I am a bit partial to the nice glow of a light maple neck though. I have the sunburst and it's really nice, but I'd like to trade staight across for the all blonde (maple?) body and neck with the black pick guard some day. | ||

But there was the chance it would stay around $300 since that's where it ended last week. I think that many auctions go higher once they're posted here. Maybe he'll get $400+ even with the small pictures (none showing the frets) and limited description. and now....bid up to the bin. :rolleyes: He should send you a Christmas card for helping him out Steve. bvince, does your sunburst viper have a maple neck and fretboard? -Steve W. | ||

Joined: December 2006 Posts: 6268 Location: Florida Central Gulf Coast | FlySig, Recently I've seen 'em go from $250 to $600. I'd say the average is $450-500 in good or better condition. Saw a natural the other day in terrific condition that had non-Ovation patterned Schaller replacement tuners that was $250. Stellar deal... (not mine!) | ||

Joined: October 2005 Posts: 4042 Location: Utah | iffy, thanks. There's one local here at an average price. I'm noodling some ideas for Sara's graduation present, one idea being to refinish a Viper. She is applying to Berklee College of Music in Boston and if she goes there she'll need a guitar to haul back and forth to classes. OK, that's just a rationalization, but a good one. She's already got a Preacher Deluxe, her Red Flame, and some non-O guitars. | ||

Back in the ole daze (2007 -2008) every time I ran an auction with a BIN It always sold for more than the BIN if nobody hit it, and people chose to bid instead. Usually somebody trying to grab a bargain helps the Seller. | ||

Joined: January 2006 Posts: 1118 Location: NW Washington State | Once in a great while. The people who bid like that don't have to worry about buying too many guitars. The seller should set a moderate reserve if they want the BIN to be effective. There's always some joker who will screw things up for everyone else. | ||
