Hey, its $7200.00 for a CS guy!

That probably means that none of us are gonna get this one.

I think I'll bid $3850 just to mess with him!

I'll guess $3501 as the sale price. Image

If I was still in the market I'd max at $3500.

Yep, I wanted that (I'm not the winner). Opinions on the selling price?
Is that a reasonable price?

I think if a CS sells for $7K+ a Blackstar at $4276 is certainly reasonable. I think the prices for used Rics in general are outrageous and the collectibles are just silly. I'm glad to see the strong values but it basically has made me a "new only" buyer.

I think the price was something of an anomaly. Because I had to have it, I became guilty of driving the prices of Shadows up for a time when I paid outrageous price of $2600 for one. The prices fell back down to the $1400-$1800 range pretty quickly after that. Let's see what happens.

NO! I don't think so!

I just sold my Fodera and was going to jump in on this.- I've been wanting one for years.

Now I'll just do what Brian did. 4004 BS 2

New market only for me too. That is unless I sell my 85 V 63 with original HS

I think $4276.00 is a bit too much!

Hmmmmm-I have an '87 4003S and some black trim....

For less that 4000 bucks you can build just about any 4003 into a Blackstar...
a couple of Shadows a Blackstar and an Annie.

When you say original HS, does that mean it's magnetized?
