LTD collectibility?

For example: Say there is a run of 200 Lime Green (just an eexample) basses in an LTD run. They are numbered 1/200, 2/200, 3/200, and so on. Does this effect the collectibility and worth? Like would 9/200 be of more collectibility then 127/200? Are the first 10 of the run more collectible. Is a 1/200 the only one that would be worth more?

Secondly,
In this lime green run several models/configurations are made. Say 50 bongos, 50 rays, 100 sterlings. Is that how the 200 would be tallied? Like if I buy a # 98/200 4 string Lime Green sterling is that 98 out of the total made or 98 out of 200 Lime Green Sterlings?

Sorry for the long post and thanks...
 
no boubt a doubt it :p
the dargie Delights will be collectable regardless of how you crunch the numbers. There are less than 300 pieces globally..... and heck, they've got Martini inlays!! :D

so yes, you should buy a couple.

:cool:

Lime Green may have been a bad example, I was speaking in general, not of that specific run. They do look very classy w/ those inlays though...

No offense, but with the hypothetical presented here, the only answers of merit are "who knows," "maybe," and/or "probably."


How can anyone know in a limted numbered run how the numbering scheme is set up when it's a hypothetical? :confused:

Since, to my knowledge, there hasn't been a x/xxx run that crosses models, your guess is as good as anyone else's.

Well that was one of the questions, whether x/xxx runs crossed models, and I believe you are telling me that they don't. I will edit the post now. Thanks...

Good point, Mister Monkee.

The only model I can think of that was numbered was the Onyx Sterling.

Ok now I get it. In fact that was what confused me. I saw the Onyx at BC and one on ebay, not interested in one but I saw that they were numbered x/xxx. I thought from seeing that that all LTD's were numbered like that. That was why I was asking to begin with. Now I know that the numbering scheme is for the Onyx sterling run only.

Gotcha :o ...

Why are you trying to be so argumentative? You could simply ask the question without the sarcastic comments and rolleyes and you will still get a constructive answer.

The answer is, that the limited editions come with a special case, the limited edition logo on the back, a colour/option not available on the production line, and is only oderable for a certain time period.

Actually he was refering to you needing the decaf. A constructicve answer to your question of what makes a limited edition limited. What you posted before doesn't sound like a joke, it sounds like you being an ass. Instead of phrasing your question like you did, you could have just asked: What is limited about the limited editions? See how much nicer it sounds that way?

I apologize if that wasn't your intent, but that was quite clearly how it came off.

Yeah, it does sound much nicer that way. WOW!!!
Well, I guess one needs a sense of humor to recognize a joke,
but anyway, thank you for the deep answer. I can see you're an expert on being limited.
No harm done, just don't be so negative. I'll take the decaf and you will relax, Okay.
BTW, are you a teacher or something?
