Title: Series 1 Pricing
Post by: synapticgroove on December 03, 2019, 06:36:36 PM

For those of you in the know, is 7-10k good pricing on a used Series 1? For argument’s sake, we are talking about ‘good’ to ‘very good’ condition instruments that are in no need of repair...circa ‘79-‘90.


Thoughts?

Sounds about double the usual used prices to me.  If you are patient and diligent, you should be able to find a good used Series instrument in the $3500-$6000 range.  Remember, “asking price” is often significantly different than “selling price”.

Bill, tgo

👍 that sounds good to me. I really wish I had an opportunity to try one out.  Come spring, I’ll plan a road trip to the nearest dealer and get my feet wet.


Thanks!

I'm logistically centered right in the middle - Oklahoma.  I'm sure there are some Series owners in Texas, but I would highly doubt that there are too many Alembics floating around Oklahoma.  Dallas is only a 4 hour drive though!  ;D
