360/12C63 & 330 Retail Prices 2013?

[peterjung]

Hello all!

New member here so I apologise if this is in the wrong section...

Can anyone advise me on what is the current retail price in USA for a 360/12C63 and a standard 330 six string?

I am living in Korea and I never ever saw a Rick here however I get the chance to go to Japan on a regular basis and most big stores have at least a standard 330.

However I have recently found a store in Tokyo with a beautiful 360/12C63. These are extremely rare to come across out here in Asia and as it has been one of my life's ambition to own one of these I am seriously considering ...maybe....buying this if it is still there next month.

However, being in Tokyo it is not cheap. So can anyone advise what these models typically retail for in USA or Europe?

Thanks in advance!

I'd guess maybe about 80% of list price?

anyway...360/12 C63 list is USD 3839

In Tokyo the 360/12 C63 has a tag of around USD 4325....ouch!

any advice on how to buy from USA and get safely shipped to Korea?

A North American dealer can't sell new over seas but can sell a used Rick. If you were to buy here new and take it to Korea there would be no warranty without shipping it back to the factory. Some people have new Ricks shipped to a friend or relative in the states then on to themselves. You would really need to weigh out the cost of shipping and taxes as to whether it is worth it or not.

Just a wild guess about your situation but U.S. dealers are permitted to ship to APO or FPO addresses anywhere in the world.
