I need to know what would be considered a fair price for a 2001 D-10 9 & 7 Franklin steel in pristine condition. I am not selling it but need the figure to settle a separation agreement. Thanks for your help.

Randy,
In this case (to help you out) I could estimate on the value of the guitar but I don't think your looking for jokes on this, all I can say is it would be on the low side.
Hope you don't get gigged to bad.

| You need your attorneys advice before you try to hoodwink the wife; it can come back to bite you! It wouldn't take long for the value to be determined. Join the forum, do a search for $5.00. Easy PI work. |

Randy,
A lot of us have been where you are. My advice is to get two or more offers (I'll be glad to be one) at around $250.
You don't have to accept them if you don't want to, but they would be bona fide offers.
Best of luck,
bUd |

For the court...
...value equals retail purchase price minus depreciation. Depreciation would be somewhere between 5% and 10% per year, so take around 37% (for 5 years' depreciation) off what you paid.
That's your fair-price value. |

I would pay $3000.00 for a Franklin as you have described yours. You could consider that an offer should you decide to sell it.

| And I would offer you a firm $750, so you could take the average of these two offers. |

| Speaking from the (ewwwwww!!!!) lawyer's side of things, if they've been married any time at all, she's going to know approximately what was paid and so she'll know the low-ball figures stated here are b.s. Better off to start with the cost and do a tax depreciation over the period since you bought the guitar. That way it's not worth nearly as much. |
