Estimated Value of a 381/12V69 in Monty Brown

[RickenAxer]

I have a mint model 381/12V69 in Montezuma Brown, which I am thinking about listing on eBay. Any thoughts on estimated value?

I think we had better see pictures of that one in order to form a proper opinion (any excuse is a good excuse). Every time I see a listing for a nice 381/12 I start looking at my '85 rosewood Tele hanging on the wall and thinking "Your days are numbered." I need another twelve like I need another hole in my head, but one of these days....

I'll give you ten bucks, Michael....... for a pic. Puleeeeezz a pic!!!!

I wouldn't know the value but I have no doubt it's beyond my means at present.

Michael, there's a specific section on the forum here entitled "Rickenbacker Appraisals". Perhaps Peter M can move this thread across?

Meanwhile, in the absence of photos I'd say your 381V69-12 in Monty Brown is likely to be worth somewhere between $2500 to $3000. Monty Brown is a desirable finish being available as Colour of the Year in 2003 and now no longer available.

I think Darren's range is bang on. I was going to say $2200 to $2500 but that's before I factored in the price increase. I don't think you'll find a buyer immediately (it's a high end guitar going for a decent chunk of cash) but that won't be because the asking price is unfair. Just give the guitar time to find its buyer.

Thanks for the advice, I'll post it at the Appraisals Forum. With pictures.

New 381/12v69 are now almost $5000(street price).
