| Our bandleader of Antiques and classics, Don Thorpe, is seriously ill and probably will pass on in a week or so. He has asked that I dispose of his equipment and give the proceeds to his widow. After Dons death I will post an inventory to include a black face Fender twin rev, an epiphone les paul, a gibson Les Paul a PA setw/speakers plus other misc. Prices will be fair and to sell and will include shipping. All the equip is in good order. I will send pics snail mail for those interested. I will post again when Don passes. CC |

| for those of you who have inquired, Dons bedroom where hospice is holding forth is next to his music room so I will have to wait for his passing before I can inventory. I do know that the Gibson Les Paul I mentioned has on the headstock Epiphone, Les Paul in script, and Gibson in small letters next to the nut. One of the amps is not a twin reverb but a late tube Pro Reverb 2 12s with the bluish grey grill. I hooked up my steel to it yesterday and it sounds great; or as great as a Fender can sound. Ouch!( Peavey all the way) Dons wife appreciates all the condolences you folks have sent. I printed them out for her and after tears she told me how much she appreciates all of you. CC |

| Thanks to all of you that have inquired and sent emails. Apparently there are a lot of folks that read the forum but are not members. I have had people who got my phone # somehow and also my address and have put there names in the hat and offered more money than we have priced but I told them that forum people get the first shot. Pictures and decriptions will follow tomorrow. We n know that some things are underpriced but we need a quick sale. More later. |

Pending pictures, year & model, and quality info - on first impressions I believe these prices are very low...A Vegas 400 often sells for $350. Also, a Gibson LP for $280???? Not if its a "real one"...
While I commend the assistance you are providing to the new widow - I disagree with your methodology and are concerned that the pricing may be unfairly low particularly considering the situation.
The use of a hock shop or music store for determining value automatically puts the value at least 30% lower than private retail. Given liquid marketplaces like ebay or this forum, there is plenty of examples available to set a fair, and even a slightly aggressive price.
Can't we do better than this fellows? |
