Thinking of selling a few Sparkles....

[SteveLINY]

I have the whole line of EBMM's, and 3 are sparkles.
I was wondering what you guys think if I sell them...???...
You all would have first dibs before I put them up on the bay.
But what do you think I could get for these if I choose to sell them????
Or should I keep them and see if they go up in value????
1st.
JP in Autumn Red Rise- 100% dead mint/stock, non matching headstock.
2nd.
Albert Lee White Sparkle- MM90's 2 small chips, but nothing obvious.
Luke Black Sparkle- Dead mint. I changed the 85 to an 81 via the quick clips...no wiring needed...Would sell with either or both pups.

Am I crazy, or should I????

 

[Katana6506]

Yes. You're crazy.

Why would you sell these? They're all such nice instruments-especially the Petrucci-and you would probably regret it, if past experience on these boards is any indication.

Hold on to 'em!

 

[Tim O'Sullivan]

Dont do it!!!!

Sell anything! Sell an organ, but dont sell the sparkes!!!

 

[dfrady]

Don't do it dude !!! I traded an Axis a couple years ago and have regretted it ever since.

Hey Steve,
I wouldn't know how much your Autumn Redrise would be worth but I was in a local music store the other day and he pulled out a Bluebook on guitars!!! Can you believe it???!!! Anyways I told the owner I had a White Sparkle JP6 fully loaded and the book said its only worth 800 bucks retail. I guess it's like a car in that way too as soon as you drive it off the lot it drops in value. I guess it's however much you would like to get for it and whatever somone is willing to pay you for it.I would pay you top dollar because like Ernie1966 I too would like to have all the SPARKLE colors and a select few or the normal ones HA!HA!HA!These sparkle guitars are driving me insane I got to have them all!!!I just got me another one,a JP6 Blue Dawn and I paid a pretty penny for it but I am happy I did. It's an awesome,awesome,color why nobody liked these is beyond me they are truly beutiful a work of art.

one word: "GAS"

 

[brettlingle]

Danny,
Here is another thought
GAS=Oil and Oil=The Bush Family

 

[SteveB]

Steve,

PLEASE don't sell them or I'll have marital problems!

Man, I'm tempted by the AL and/or the Petrucci!

 

[adambilz]

I don't know if this helps, but if you do sell them, a wise man once told me that things are worth what someone will pay for them. Bluebook can be for $50 but someone might give you $1000 for the same thing. Eye of the beholder, I guess. Good luck, that JP is gorgeous!

 

[phatduckk]

the AL is sweet!!!

 

[GWDavis28]

Arin, that AL is the twin of mine!!!

That's only the second JP I've seen in that finish. I'm really tempted to pick it up.

I would definitely keep it, if I were you, though. Not an easily replaceable config.

Dude, you and everyone else on this forum. I heard it was gone.

Hah, no surprise there. Too bad.

 

[GWDavis28]

Yup they are tough to get. Pete's got a White Sparkle JP if your interested.

[SteveLINY]

Yes the JP is being traded, and there is a possible trade in the works on the AL.
I'll keep you posted.

[SteveLINY]

Just the time to have second thoughts!

 

[SteveLINY]

Glenn is getting the JP.....
Enjoy it. It's an amazing guitar and needs a good home.
I hate to sell any of them, but I'm just not playing them as much as they deserve to be played....Plus Amp GAS has the best of me...
Enjoy.....
Steve
