Dude took your question to heart and it's now part of his ad copy, at 1\2 the price it's still 200% over.
In my area cars are the big deal and kids plopping 10-15k of dads money in $1200 rice burners who get all forked when dad finds out and takes the car away.
Than dad passed out when carmax offers him $1500 for it.
Your custom options typically mean very little to the average buyer

FWIW, I ended up buying it for $450 shipped including the HSC and original parts...

I'm guilty of most of the items I have on Reverb being priced a bit high, but certainly not double what they cost new. I have Chandler guitars on my feed, and someone just listed one at $5K, 5X more than one has ever sold on Reverb.

If he did any research, he probably realized he was talking to the one guy on the planet who know more about the brand than anyone else.

Been off of here for awhile just seeing and reading this thread I've never sold anything on Reverb but I have bought some stuff there including a couple of guitars. I have a few guitars I want to sell to raise some money to purchase a Gibson J200 I've always wanted one and going to buy one before I get to old to play it. I usually sell my stuff to cheap to move it fast but it sounds like on Reverb I need to price these about 10% higher than they're worth to have some wiggle room. Also I have a AL 3010 I put SD Pearly Gates in should I put the OME pups back in and sell the SD's separately?

Sounds like a good deal to me. Funny how people get so bent out of shape about someone overpricing an item - the market pretty much always takes care of itself in the end. Congrats on the score an and positive shipping mojo for a safe journey to you.

Thanks, it actually got here a couple weeks ago. Exactly as advertised. I've already got a set of JB/Jazz in another Agile as well as an Edwards Custom so I'll probably pull these or the ones in the other Agile and sell them. I've got some other premium pickups that need a home...

I actually contacted Kurt and got the specs as it was a custom order that was cancelled. It was then listed on the Rondo site for $500:

Are either of the JB/Jazz sets uncovered by chance? I might have something on the way myself that could benefit
