Just a couple of weeks ago there was an auction on ebay for a vintage fender in it's case. While not all sellers are honest (or particularly plugged in to the market value of these things) it's a good place to start watching. Don't follow what they ask for them... follow what they SELL for. I have noticed 6 stringers seem to go for around the $500-$700 range. There was an 8 stringer that the seller was asking over $900 for -- but I never followed up to see if it was sold. Hope this helps a bit.

That Deluxe 8 was relisted and sold for $860. It was a newer model with the black case.

A Fender Deluxe 8 just recently sold on eBay for $455 in "good" condition, for what it's worth.
