....by the way Scott, when I say in "nice condition", as Collin indicated, that means original condition. The finish on your Rick looks just fine to me for an honest used '60's guitar - you should not even consider getting it refinished as you will destroy significant value in the process.
BTW Collin, I'd love to know where all these RoMo '60's 6 strings are in dealer stock that are not shifting at $6k...I certainly havent seen any...if you know of some on the market right now for that price, please let me know!

There obviously isn't tons of examples, but one that sticks out was a worn but solid '64 1997 that Gary's guitars sold last year after having it listed for ages (even over a year) at $6800. Not sure what it really sold for, but people weren't scrambling to buy at 6.8k, even in a better market than today.
Typically dealer prices are 20% higher than street prices, though some dealers are in denial about street prices!

Scott:
Thanks for the pictures! Much appreciated... I will add them to the Register.
Echoing what everyone else is saying - don't be too concerned about the fact the guitar is a little dinged by use.
I am willing to bet that the guitar is worth more then you thought it was!
