Title: Selling my Alembic
Post by: els on September 20, 2004, 03:52:45 PM

serial #86P4168  
 
I don't know much about it. It was a gift over ten years ago.  
 
I'd be happy to get $1000 for it, I thought I should post it up here first. Maybe you guys can tell me something I don't know

It looks like a standard issue 1986 Persuader.  32 scale length, figured maple top, two volumes and a filter, at least that's what it looks like.  If there are no major dents or cracks, $1000 is a fair price that you should be getting offers for shortly.
 
Good luck!

Hey Edward!  Welcome to the club.  From what I can see, $1,000 seems reasonable.  Better pics would probably get you a better price.  You should also describe what condition it is in and if there are flaws in it.  The good and the bad.  Makes for happy selleres and happy buyers.  It is easier to post these than answer the same yestions asked in 20 e-mails.  I wish you luck on your sale.  Have fun and take care.

I sold one very similiar, but with perhaps a nicer top for $1100 a couple of years ago, so $1000 certainly seems in the right ballpark. You could probably get $1200 if you find the right buyer.
