ashevans09 Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 Heya, Looking to move my EC-1000 on. Was just wondering if anyone knew its worth second hand? I was thinking of pitching around £650 (that's what I've seen others advertised for) but I was just wondering. Thanks, Ash
Ancient Mariner Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 It doesn't seem all that long ago that £650 was the new price, though it might be further back than it feels. I'd have thought between £350 and £500 depending on age, condition, case, pickups (EMGs or SDs) etc.

Thanks, Ash [/quote] I've just bought an ESP Eclipse with Bare Knuckle pickups, Brown-burst finish and hard case, all in "as new" condition from a fellow BC'er for not much more than that, so as nice as the LTD ECs are I think you're pitching it a little too high to be honest.

noelk27 Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 It's just too easy to negotiate on the high street these days. By way of example, I've just picked up a Fender Strat Deluxe, 2010 model with V profile neck. List price circa £1,600. Street price circa £1,250. Price paid £1,000. With street prices for those LTDs starting around £750 or £800, you'd be able to walk out the store paying less than £700. In your shoes I'd be pitching around two-thirds of the best street price, assuming it's A1 condition.
