Did a Knucklehead score the Dargie on eBay?

[Larry]

Any of you out there score the Dargie JP? I bid on it but it went to high for me (My Max bid was $1700.)

Holy Cow!!!


Over 2 grand!!!

The buyer was in the US to boot. That's some premium. Glad I got me two of them.

How many JPs you got now Ernie? I've been drooling ever since I saw some pics of your collection...

 

[Sweat]

WOW, is right over 2300.00 and it doesnt even have a peizo, I feel much better about my DD Luke now.

 

[Larry]

Dargie Fever.

 

[Boy Oldigs]

Holy Moly... I bid also ... what was the normal retail price in the U.S. ?

It's hard to find one of DD in Europe

 

[brentrocks]

45 down - 45 to go

i was thinking about to bid on it, but as i hit the "refresh" button, i decided to pass on this one.
for an europeen guy, the price is very interessting. you can get a none matching headstock w/out piezo for this price in europe if you are lucky.....
as we mentioned before, balls are very expensive over here.

 

[ernie1966]

Yep, with that price I would have swore it went to some one in th UK or Europe. The final price was probably a thousand USD more than what the origianl owner paid. An amazing short term return on investment.

How many JPs you got now Ernie?

I had 39, sold two, now at 37, three on order, which will make an even 40.

I never thought of a guitar as an investment.

That's what I've been telling my wife!
If it's a rare EBMM, then it'll be worth more money!

 

[Dargin]

It's pretty cool that is sold for $300 over retail.

 

[Larry]

$300 over MSRP?

 

[philiprst]

I also think it went to Europe. The dollar is weak and the European prices for guitars so high that the person probably felt they got a great deal.

 

[Larry]

According to eBay he is located in the U.S.

 

[ernie1966]

$300 over MSRP?

Full retail before dealer markdown.

When the Pet first came out, the full retail price was 1875 for a no-options model.

 

[Larry]

+ the Dargie LE surcharge

You are my hero!!!!!!

You know... If you were to take an updated group shot of your collection, and size it for, say, 1280x800 resolution, I would DEFINITELY sport your JP collection as my windows wallpaper on my 22" widescreen monitor...

Just a thought!

Either way, you are still my hero...
