Fair Price for a 360 WB?

[timo]

Hi Everybody,

I'm wondering what a fair price is for a 360 WB--I'm sure that certain variables apply, but if anybody could chime in on a ballpark figure, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you.

Approx. year and finish type would help. Are you asking about a 6-string or a 12-string?

[timo]

Definitely a six string. I was looking for a turquoise 330 actually, and saw a 360 WB. I believe that it is a '95.
It has toasters, and it also has a small cosmetic flaw. What do the experts say?

[paologregorio]

Prolly about 2K maybe for a TUR WB w/Toasters would be a good price. I could be wrong. One of my WBs is a January `97 with toasters. I added the Accent...to most of my Ricks.

I have a few WBs, and among them is a Turquoise with toasters.

A '90s 360 WB Turquoise with toasters in nice shape -- $2K sounds about right to me as a buyer's price. Anything under that and you'd be doing well.

If I were the seller, I might be asking for more -- especially if it were a 360V64 in Turquoise.

[timo]

Thanks for the responses. That sounds about right to me, and also what I'm willing to pay.
The problem is the this seller wants more than $3,000 for it. It's really nice, but I really don't think it's worth that--especially with the cosmetic flaw (which honestly doesn't bother me but does effect the price).

The input is very much appreciated.

By the way, that's quite a collection you have there, paologregorio.

Thanks; I was looking for a solo shot of just the TUR, but the one I had in mind's on my other computer, so I went with what I had. Paul W. says it's a "WB fetish". Danotron says I have an Accent fetish as well.

This one??? I stole your other computer!

Is this the one you are considering? http://cgi.ebay.com/230483522817?cmd=Vi ... 35a9e37501

If so, as it is being sold by a UK seller, the prices there are generally higher than in the US.

[paologregorio]

That's it! You take better snaps than I do anyway.

Tim, I see that you are just recently posting after having joined the RRF last year - so a belated Welcome Aboard to you

Tim, since you are in the Los Angeles area, would like to mention that we have semi-frequent get togethers of the local Ric enthusiasts, what is called a Mini Confluence Jam session, and you would certainly be welcomed and encouraged to attend. You can meet some of the RRF members whom you have exchanged posts with, oogle other Ricks, check out some vintage models, learn all about stuff and jam along on some favorite tunes. These are fun-oriented Jams and nobody has to be self conscience about abilities or song repretroire. We just held a Mini Con a few weeks ago at Backline Studios in Garden Grove and it was great and was well attended, with several RRF-ers coming from some very long distances to be part of the fun!

And our Bay Area colleagues also have a Mini Con Jam in the works, planning for July 24th, if you might be travelling up that way.

Check out the Confluences section for Threads and Jam pictures, etc. .... viewtopic.php?f=15&t=394331

Since you are interested in Turquoise, there are several of us locals with Turquoise Rics, so you can compare and contrast the variances in color on different models over the years. (In fact if you dig back far enough in the Confluences threads, there has to be a photo from a local Jam in 2008 or 2009 of a whole bunch of Turquoise Rics posed together).

Regards

Nice job of spotting a new local Rich!

Yes, yes, we are always on the lookout for local members to participate in the jams; they're fun. In fact, they've become so popular that we need a larger venue for the next local jam-I'm not kidding!

Ah, the "Turquoise Jam". :

"Hey, this jam looks like it would be fun. If I don't have a turquoise Rick can I still go?" Too funny.

Back on the subject, since the guitar has toasters, and is TUR, I'd haggle with the guy if possible and see if there's a happy medium you can arrive at; paying a few hundred bucks more if you really like the guitar and think it's worth it wouldn't be a bad thing. If I like a guitar, I don't really think about what I paid for it after I've bought it; I am just happy with the guitar

That is indeed the guitar. I want it big time, but I'm just not sure about pulling the trigger. I may think about it for a little bit longer. I've emailed with the guy a few times already and he seems really cool. I was content with the idea of a 330 until I saw photos of that one.
