Take him to the cleaners.

I'd drop 450 for it, w/case +shipping, however much that is. And he best throw in the humidifier.

The only reason I said $500 is because it's in good shape and the case I bought was well over $100. If they are new at $440, case for $120, then that's $560. It does not have electronics, but this thing is in good shape. I really don't need to sell it, so I won't be "taken to the cleaners".

That Ebay guitar is stamped USED and you have no idea what condition it is in. I'd be happy to go for $450. I was also including a $30+ strap and the humidifier. $400 or lower is a little low and I'm better off keeping it.

I would also read the disclaimer of that auction. If you scroll down, it says that unless the case is pictured, it may not be included in the auction. I see that it says it's included up above that, but that would be a bummer to get hosed by a badly written auction listing.

i would like to, but if the difference is around 100 bucks with a fishman system on the cheap side, its hard to ignore numbers

well its like this rsabala, i cant get praise here a brand new one with a case for around $500... prolly less... and as we all know guitars are like cars, you could have played it once, but the second you walk out of the store with it you lose value. we dont know what condition yours is in, so $450 does seem like a more fair price.
