Quick questions I have a couple of these at home and im thinking about selling one of them it was the top of the pacifica range when it was new about 6 years ago or so translucent blue seymour duncan pickups wilkinson tremelo and sperzel locking machine heads
Its seen quite a bit of use theres corrosion on some of the hardware and the pickups but everything works 100% fine other bad thing are a small crack in the pickguard and a few small knocks on the back of the neck and the frets are pretty worn
what do you think is a sensible asking price? given those condition bearing in mind it is a good guitar with a cool hardware
well the new price (if you can still find them) is about £450-£500, i think? generally i work on between about 40-75% of the new price (depending on condition- 75%, maybe even slightly more, if it's mint, that kind of thing- obviously less than 40% if it's completely trashed ), so i dunno, £200-£300? really depends on the condition, i know you've described it, but I'd need to see it to be sure. a fretcrown/refret can be pretty expensive, so if it needs one of those, that's not going to help matters...
one was on sale in a local shop (s/h), but i can't remember how much it was. i'm guessing around £300, though, maybe slightly more (shop prices will be higher than private sales).
EDIT: don't get me wrong, i like pacifica 812s a lot. it's just better to tell you a little low, and then you may be pleasantly surprised, which is better than getting your hopes up only for you to be disappointed.
Thats awesome thanks for your help that sounds about right from what i have seen I think i will clean it up and then maybe try and sell it on here thanks for your help :-)
i should add that i don't sell that much, it's just generally from seeing what second-hand stuff tends to go for compared to the new price. depends on how quickly you want to sell too, if you're in no rush you can hold out for a better price etc.
checking ebay wouldn't hurt either, to see what they usually go for.
I'd reckon around 50% of new; bear in mind that money is tight right now and I've seen some real bargains out there. It's a buyer's market so price it accordingly.
