just putting out some feelers on this one. it’s stock except for the Open Gear Hipshot locking tuners that input on. they’re installed using the universa mounting plate so no drilling was done and i have the original machines if for some reason you’d actually want them.

any who. i don’t really enjoy the lack of arm contour for the style of music i play. it mostly sits in my rack unless i need to track something in drop D.

not sure about where to price it. reverb looks like the dam wild west as far as agile are concerned.

With no new ones currently available due to the supply and demand insanity and equally insane used market, I would try pricing it at $450 maybe even $500 and see if you get traction.

I would agree with Mr Chocol8, if you are going the Reverb route start at 500. I might even try 550 if it has a case. People have completely lost their minds in what is turning out to be a perceived "great COVID guitar shortage". They are hoarding guitars like toilet paper and ammunition and predicting the impending doom of all of their favorite guitar companies. If you are looking to sell at all, now is definitely the time to do it.

I recently turned an LP deluxe I had sitting here for almost a grand profit even after reverb fees. I liked the guitar, but not that much ;-)

Used prices are insane, especially on Reverb. Used fireflies start at $250. There are a couple of Al2000 all priced over 350. No way I would price it less than $500 to start.

EDIT: also, that guitar is super hot. Don't sell it, or make someone pay a king's ransom to take its hotness off your hands.

Yeah, used prices are pretty crazy. I guess I've been spoiled the last several years by all the deals that used to be out there. Instead of feeling a sense of resentment for what people are asking these days, I'm occasionally thinking maybe the smart thing to do is cash in on it myself. I've got guitars I literally haven't picked up in five years. I just noticed a Dot hanging behind a bedroom door with a low E string that broke all on its own and I have no idea how long it's been like that....

Yep, TJ, best time you will likely ever have to ca$h in on your guitar investment. :)

i guess i’ll post it up on the verb. i’ve been catching the bug lately for a really high line instrument. thinking a mayones duvell. with the music i’ve been playing the past couple years the lack of arm contour on the agile is really a bitch. downpicking 200bpm is pretty frustrating.

do you guys think i should go reverb or offer here?

Do I want to? Oh, yes. It is unfortunately not possible for any number of reasons, but hell yes I’d take that off your hands if circumstances could allow. Good luck with the sale. :)

Start with the places where the fees are lowest. Here, CL, other free or cheap web options. Go to Reverb or EBay only if you think the hassle and fees are worth it and or necessary.

You've already done that in a sense by posting it as a "feeler" ;-) I've done several deals here on AGF and almost always had positive results - not quite as big of an audience as there once was, but probably still the closest thing to an Agile community as there is. The Rondo/SX facebook group is worth a shot too.

I generally don't bother posting my Agiles here since I always ask more than I paid and I won't do that to AGFers. I prefer to get a profit on gear when I have the chance to cover the mods/tools/etc. that I want or need.

Used gear is seller's market right now, but I can't see how it will last once the shipping from Asia catches up. With all the free credit out there, used gear is going to go back to being a buyer's market in a blink once that happens.
