BIG fan of the dark bursts.

Any love for this '77 deluxe natural? Looks like a winner to me - but only for an odd bit of dark coloring on the upper back of neck area (1977 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe ~RARE FACTORY NATURAL FINISH~NO RESERVE~ | eBay) - theories?

I will be watching to see if that first one goes near the listed market price. If anything would be valued at or near the top of the range, I would think that one would qualify.

What is the "listed market price" for one of these?

I got my '80 LPD for $1650 two years ago. Sold it for $2,000.

Looks good, was yours near mint? No buckle rash, no dings, etc?

I got the info on the 1982 (because I have one) from someone with the The Original Vintage Guitar Price Guide for 2012 and it says that the 1982 is from $2300 - $2900

If the first one doesn't go over $2000 I'll be surprised.

Yes, stock and completely mint, minus a small separation in the top wood at the controls due to shrinkage. An absolutely nominal spacing, nothing even worth noticing.

...$2125 and $300 shipping.

I have a sweet red wine one that wouldn't quite fetch that price but if I could get $1800 I would likely sell it. Then again, in 10 years I think these will be worth $3000 or $3500 so...
