a 1980 320 typically sell in the $1500 to $2000 range.
Yours might go on the higher side due to the rare colour. BTW - Autumnglo or Walnut? Do you know the difference?
Please post some pics and share the Serial number on the Jack plate so that we can precisely date it.

next question is why does 2011 vintage guitar guide show a 8k price on an 1980 then drop to $1800 on an 1981
walnut as on a dakota 650? it's either fireglo or amberglo if there is much of a difference with NO f holes

John:
Walnut (or Walnut glo as I think of it) is a glossy brown sunburst bot unlike the recent Montezuma Brown finish.
Autumnglo is the same colour but in a matte (non shiny) finish.
If the guitar is more red then it is likely Fireglo
The sn dates your guitar to Sept 1980

I have seen a few of those (non-Lennon spec) lately sell right in the $1500 area. I don't know where $8000 comes from.

because the price guide is notoriously useful as fire tinder when it comes to Rickenbackers.
I'd value nearly any 320/325 built after 1969 at little more than $1800---that's it.

thank you fellow ricky's. i appreciate the answers. so yes it is fireglo and i agree on value now as i have other 320's. I traded a 1982 burgandy glo a year or so a go and went with a 1700 value as the burgandy glo is a bit more rare. So i now feel this fireglo is a 1500 priced guitar. it's giving company to a 1981 jetglo and a 1994 325v59 jetglo.
Guess that's why it's called a GUIDE( vintage guitar). To guide you down the wrong path.
