Greco !" MIJ" Bargain of the day!

[villager]

yes i think your right i will check my old pics.. no couldn't find it..

[rastafred]

Here it is

[villager]

ah yes mine was the same as that

[rastafred]

There's a mistery "D" at the end of the fretboard, where the zreborn had their serie number. But 57 paf and veneer would indicate an ls80.

[villager]

yes the D i remember a big debate on ttf about that

[jacco]

Ah yes the D imprint, UITA has one too I believe

[mono]

ok, before i go ahead and deposit on jauce...

is anyone else bidding on a particular SG junior on YJ which is currently sitting at 19k?

if there is competition i won't bother but i'm pretty keen on it...

[Udonitron]

Oh I am sure there are a few watching that little red number

[mono]

damn. wanted one ever since i played an original '62
might try my luck anyhow

[Udonitron]

Do it...it is fair game & only worth to you what you are willing to pay

[JDB]

Jauce use different bidding names now with two or more bidders

No one will know Andy.

[Udonitron]

That sucks however as it raises the price vs keeping it static if another KON bidder is bidding.

[Udonitron]

The red SG Jr...

[slapshot]

[mono]

placed my maximum bid, crossing my fingers

[GammyBird]

Good luck Mono...I've been-a watching that too.

[JDB]

I cant be stuffed looking for it but good luck Andy. Give us some pre NGD pics when you win.

[slapshot]

[wulfman]

Get it while it is still under 500k!


Edit: too late.

[JDB]

baha and to think I even thought about having a dabble. Thats one heafty price tag.

[GammyBird]

Holy shit! Do they usually go at that price?

[Udonitron]

All due to a nice top...really cosmetic.
That is just silly IMO

[JDB]

Get into it...Half the price.

"Enthusiastically engaged in the bidding inflating the groin to the expectations should not be."

Another fun translation!

how often do vintage LS-150 models show up, for sale?
I don't know but from what I have seen they likely do not show up often.
vintage LS-80s on the other hand are basically a dime a dozen.

this LS-150 had 171 bids, from 13 different bidders so, there obviously must be a market for these vintage LS-150s.
looks like a market driven issue to my eyes.

I recall when Ed bought his LS-200 in January, 2010, the ending bid was over $6K, and some were saying that price was nuts.
The higher end vintage LS models are finally getting the recognition that the market allows, and I'm not talking LS-80s.

I also recall during the 1980s when '58, '59, and '60 Les Pauls were going for $3K to $6K, depending on condition, and many were saying then that was nuts.
Where are those people now? Wishing they would have bought a few

[mono]

i don't really think you can compare inflation rates on '58-'60 bursts and Tokais.
different kettles of fish with vastly different heritages and markets.

i think 6k for an LS-200 is nuts and he will more than likely lose money on it when he cones to sell it... but then he probably justified the purchase and just wanted the guitar, which is as good a reason as any to buy at whatever price he likes.

[vintageJIM]

Andy, I'm not concerned with inflation rates & that isn't a consideration on my part.

the guitars are obviously going up in price because there is a market for them, all be it a small market but that market is there, none the less; it aint because of inflation .........

'supply & demand' in this equation has nothing whatsoever to do with inflation

one man's "nuts" is another man's sanity ...........

[reborn old]

The thinking in Japan might be that these LS-150 + 200 models are rarer and in some ways, better than Historics,
which often go for between $4-5k there.
Many R-9 Historics don't have the same quality of top figuring this particular LS-150 has.
Too much money chasing too few vintage MIJ top examples, I think.
There have been a few crazy bidding wars on OBG's and EGF-1800's also.

Are you thinking about listing your LS-150 on YJ about now, Wulfman ?

Brother, can you spare a dime?

(for the older set, obviously)
