warwickhunt Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I love the fact that the pics that he/she does have are all taken in different rooms/locations! Who's going to be the first to ask if they can go and check out 'in person', the Marcus Miller Jazz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Nah.. not at all. The fact they're listing multiple instruments worth thousands isn't really the point. They're selling whatever he had. Occasionally, 'the dearly departed, please take care of these items, I'm no expert etc.' thing is true. In fact, I have experience of it being true. Of course, these listings could be a scam or whatever, but nothing I've seen suggests it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blimey, I remember a time many years ago when they were nearly bin-material. Bloody wish I'd bought one then! [/quote] Prices for used SG models have been increasing quite steadily. Like any instrument in production for a long period of time there are some highly desirable models out there (such as the SG1000-24 and SG1300-24 or SG2000JS and SG2000NW) and certain finishes that were only ever produced in small numbers for particular models (Jade Green and Gold Top SG3000 or SG2000) leaving aside the various limited edition models and colours. An all original SG175 would sell for a good price as this model was not produced in large numbers. I've been collecting SG models since the 80s (and currently own quite a few), and it's getting a lot more difficult to find good condition, original examples, at the right price. Take a look at the prices 70s and early 80s SG models sell for in Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
