I'm thinking buying a 4001 '73 in Jetglo with CB, Full width inlays in the near future. In what kind of pricerange are those toys at the moment?

I would have thought that anywhere between 1.5 - 3K USD...?

It would depend, I would think, on what appointments it had on it (checkered binding, etc.). 1973 was a transitional year.

Prices have been surprising a lot of forum members in the last couple of months. They are still on the rise. I would think $2500+ with all the appointments you mentioned.

There's a Fireglo '73 on eBay now, all original with CB but no full width MOP inlays. The BIN is $5000.

Outlandish? Well, let's see what happens...

Checkered Binding makes people do crazy things..

Lately full width inlay 73's have been going for between 3K-4K depending on condition and original parts, lack of routing, etc.

Models that need hardware(very hard and expensive to find now) or refinishing are going to go for less. Relics don't seem to be a big thing for rick collectors who would rather have cleaner examples.

The first two months of 73 had the sparkle inlays, then the full acrylic started in March. Small inlays started showing up in May and by July the checkered binding was phased out.

Someday I plan on having a 73 Jan- June 4001 collection displayed across the wall of my future man-cave, all a different color(some will be refins). I'm close to being 5/6'ths of the way there....

Hmmm...........

I do have the hi-gain PU in addition to the RIHS PU. Plus all the original parts I changed out with the exception of the wavy Grovers that kept falling apart and felt sloppy. But we know where to get those from, right DP?
