[QUOTE="Hamner1, post: 117540, member: 2450"] A perspective from a regular old buyer not really a collector. My rule of thumb is I don't want to pay more than 1/2 of what they sell for new. I tend to use MF's listed price as a base. The faded Vs are currently going for almost $1,000 new. so $500 with a case is reasonable. If you are looking to unload it fast then I would look at pricing closer to an Epiphones new price, maybe $350-$400. The Les Paul is a little trickier in that it was modded with a Kahler. I don't mind Kahlers but the over all general impression of them is they suck. So that may drive potential buyers away. Also being modded likely lowers the value & would kill any collector value (although I don't believe the 80s Pauls have any real collector value). With all that being said I think Probably in the same ballpark $350-$500. The above, for me anyway, is based on lots of fret life left, frets are smooth and leveled, neck is straight/true, wiring/pots in good working order, & no major issues. [/QUOTE]
