Anyone one out there who knows where I can find this information? Specifically I am interested in Rick list price of a 330-6 in 1991 and list of a 360-12 in 1994 or closest possible years.
Thanks.

In 1994 the 360/12 listed for 1429 and the 330 for 1199. Can't help with the '91 price.

cheers Stan, much appreciated, the 330 price probably didn't change much 1991-1994 anyway.

Re: List prices on Ricks, early 1990s
Rickenbacker MSRPs are following average real estate prices for SFRs pretty closely...
The average price of a home in the USA was $156,900 in 1994. In March 2007, before the meltdown, it was $330,000, an increase of 207%.
A Rickenbacker 360/12 listed for $1429.00 in 1994, and December 2007 saw this at $2939.00, an increase of 206%.
A 1994 dollar had the buying power of 1.43 2008 dollars. Annual inflation over this period averaged 2.66%.
Things that matter cost twice as much, with only 70% of the buying power we had 15 years ago. We've been surviving on credit in order not to see a decrease in our standard of living. Working harder, earning less, saving nothing.
Oops.
Our Ricks, being boutique items of limited liquidity, will probably survive these times unscathed, and values will rebound quicker and more reliably than either real estate or vintage Stratocasters, due to lower cost of unit items.
Conclusion: Buy lots of vintage Ricks while prices are good!

Besides, Chai-man is in France- so all economic manifestos wouldn't pertain the same to him, I think he just wanted some list prices!
Re: List prices on Ricks, early 1990s
To answer one of the original questions, the list price in Jan. '91 and '92 of a 330-6 was $999. The Jan. '93 price list saw an increase to $1199.
