Theres no way you can get 480 for that. Well maybe with the case. But the guitar itself ive seen for 350 new. I have that exact case and I paid 100 for the case. Id say sell the guitar and case for like 350 or a little less.

I must say you got screwed when you bought that for over 500.

One thing I like to do is when your selling things put a price higher than what you know its really worth and see what people say. Some stupid person might come along and pay your asking price. Or someone might come and offer you less than your offering price but more than its actually worth. So you might get more out of the deal if you put more on.

so some shop is selling it for less maybe, big deal...sell it for what you think it's worth...if you've seen new around 550, then you should be able to get 375-4 maybe with the case
B+P by offer only...thank you
