So, for my Les Paul Studio I just got offered a Peavey Delta Blues 210 and an Epi 56 reissue goldtop with case...value's not as high as I'd like, but I could start 2 new, separate trades...hmm...
 
Hmm...also just got offered a TC Electronics G-force with a Furman power conditioner in a 2-space rack...wonder how easy that is to move....
 
I don't know. I like both items (especially the DB), but I have a hard time wrapping my mind about trading one higher value item for two lower value items.

Normally I do as well, but since I'm flipping in order to pay for the Sunburst 22, it might go faster if I'm running multiple items...

Im thinking the guitar/amp pair would be easier to flip. Probably get wider interest.
 
I agree with Phil. Heck, I could see myself being interested in both items if the situation was right. Im not, Im just sayin. I think you'd have a lot more luck with the guitar and amp. Epiphones seem to go pretty well, especially nice ones and not the specials.
 
FWIW, I'd take the DB in a heartbeat for cash if the timing was right (it's not though).

I'd do a straight trade for a Fernandes Revolver Pro (with sustainer and TKL hardcase) though.

Guitar is in excellent condition other than a nick in the body by the trem bar, which I can't get to photograph well.

careful with that strat, eugene. Fender just announced a price decrease along with Gibson's recent drop. i'm not sure what Studios are going for, but you may want to compare the new prices.
 
Carvins have a resale value about equal to Epiphones from what I've seen. I'd love to have a Carvin, but not for resale. I wouldnt touch that one. Re: the Fender price drop, I doubt it will affect used models by that much, theyre already pretty low. Of course, maybe I just want to think that since I just got this tele.

I agree on carvins, there are only a few I'd even consider. The potential trader said "It's worth twice what your Les Paul is worth" so I let them go away - I'm not about to give a Gibson plus cash for a Carvin, unless it was a CT4 or 6.

I think my best bet is the Epi and the Peavey, so I'm going that route.

Even the CT4s and 6s go for as low as 450 on evilbay from what I have seen. Granted they can fetch more but not always. He may have PAID twice what that LP cost new but it certainly wont sell for that. One of the main reasons I did not buy a Carvin a few years ago. I had basically a 2000 dollar budget for a guitar and was strongly considering ordering one, but knowing that I would take a huge loss on value really deterred me so I decided against it.

Sanity is slowly returning to Fender?? How much of a price drop?
