Hey all, I have Millenium MILL-CB SN. 16568 that I would like to sell. I don't have time to play any of my guitars, and this one get's played the least (big belly syndrom). Looking for recommendations of whether I should put in on Ebay with a reserve, or advertise here, or sell it through a broker. Any thoughts/advice would be greatly appreciated. It has been several years since I have sold a guitar (Taylor 855) and never sold an Adamas.

Thanks in advance!

I would definitely give this group an opportunity first.
What are you thinking about re: Price?? Pictures also help a great deal along with a description of what kind of Shape the guitar is in. :)

Pictures tomorrow... Only played in studio (probably less than 100 hours total since new), no buildup on frets, no nicks, chips, scratches, etc.

Any picture requests in particular, as I will take whatever is requested.

No idea on asking price yet, was hoping to get some guidance as I really can't find any easy comparables.

I am in Atlanta if anyone is in the area, would be delighted to meet up and get an expert opinion on quality/price....

Yeah... I woulda sold the Taylor first, too! :p

I think that you could get fifteen hundred bucks for it around here...
(Shiyett... I got fifteen hundred bucks... But then I'd have to sell something. Anybody wanna buy a CS257?)

Oh, and Welcome! :cool:

OMA, you got GAS bad. It's been less than 12 hours since you posted that you can't afford to buy anymore guitars at the moment, now you're lining up for an Adamas! Look at the bright side, If you have to sell a couple to finance it, you'll have more space.

Just telling this to my Mom on the phone...
I am watching guitars on eBarf with BIN's of half what they were going for two months ago just fade into nothingness, with no bids. I just keep seeing them getting relisted with no takers... It is definitely a buyers' market.
Unfortunately, my job ended Monday.... I was planning on selling some stuff... But not in this market!

I did just buy a nice new Crate Taxi TX15 portable amp for " Busking "... (My new word for the week)
eBarf sent me a FREE $50 off coupon :D And I had to spend it on something!
Two months ago, I coulda/woulda thought about that Millennium...
In this economy, I may be playing guitar on the Street soon.

A year ago, these were getting $2g. I sold Mike's for around $2200 if I recall correctly.

A nice one sold for less than $1600 on Ebay last week. It was originally listed as a BIN of $2400 I believe which was as it turns out was a little optimistic! It would seem that the current market value is around $1500
