Were any special materials/construction techniques/electronics, etc. This particular one is a laminate top, putting it even lower down the scale of quality and desirability for someone who knows the least bit about guitars. Is it high-end? No, these were designed as mid-entry level guitars, using cheaper materials in order to meet a specific price point, rather than for high build quality and tone. Is it especially rare, hard to find, unique, or hard to replace? No, these were made by the thousands (if not tens of thousands ) overseas. There are quite a few things you don't seem to be considering in deciding what you already expect your guitar should be worth. The "market value" of a guitar (or anything ) lies somewhere between what the seller would like to get for it and what any given buyer is willing to pay for it. We could blow smoke up your ass and agree with you, but that'd just be that - blowing smoke up your ass.
So yeah, we generally know what we're talking about, and we gave you a fair assessment of what your particular guitar might fetch on the open market.īut now it seems you just came here to get affirmation for what you'd already decided was the price you thought you should get for your guitar. Most of the active members here have bought/sold/traded collectively hundreds if not thousands of Ovation guitars, from the cheapest Chinese Celebrity's up to the rarest and most expensive first-issue Adamas previously owned by artists such as Paul McCartney, Jim Croce, etc. You came here presumably because you thought this group likely had the best knowledge about Ovation guitars and their market worth. Please realize, there isn't anybody here who has a direct emotional or financial interest in what you can sell your guitar for.

The math I was taught still puts the lowest used price plus your figure for shipping at just about what I'd pay at my local GC for a brand new one.

Posted 1:16 PM (#2512 - in reply to #2503) Subject: Re: 7 digit serial number :/Īlso don't forget theses online stores have sometimes 150.00 dollar shipping so that's just adding costs. I've had offer, I think I know what I'm doing sell wise. I have a case, and this baby is in mint condition. But if I were to go into my local music store (Long and Mcquade ) and wanted to pick myself up a used Ovation, it'll cost me 399 without the case. I'm using kijiji (Canadian ) Online stores usually have things for 200 and such, (Cheap ) that's what an online store is. I'm not using ebay or anything like that. There's also a huge difference from where you're selling. Posted 1:14 PM (#2511 - in reply to #2503) Subject: Re: 7 digit serial number :/ Just picek up a Celb DLx RRBY w/roadrunner case 270.00 at GC. Retail and selling priceare WAY different.

Posted 11:21 AM (#2509 - in reply to #2503) Subject: Re: 7 digit serial number :/ It's honey burst which makes it more appealing then most (in my opinion ) so I think 450 is pretty reasonable. I emailed Ovation, it's a 2004, and retailed for 599.99. Posted 11:16 AM (#2508 - in reply to #2503) Subject: Re: 7 digit serial number :/ Then look at eBay, using the recently completed auctions search function to see what used ones sell for. Do some research online - check the prices at several online and brick&mortar retailers. You can ask that, sure, but if I was looking for one I'd quickly see that I could buy a brand new one for less.

May 2008 Posts: 4996 Location: Phoenix AZ Posted 7:59 PM (#2504 - in reply to #2503) Subject: Re: 7 digit serial number :/ I am just wondering how much these Ovations are worth in general? It has a honey burst finish and the preamp is an OP-20. So I know it is impossible to figure out what year my Ovation celebrity CC057 is, because there is a 7 digit serial number making it an import, though the bowl is U.S made.
