Hey guys.
I bought a beautifull Emmons LaGrande II D10 in a cool marble finish from soneone on here a couple of years ago. I was playing with a band at that time and was learning steel, playing it, loving it, so I bought this great instrument. As with lots of things, life changes, kids get bigger and need cars, bands break up (you can't keep a band together) or so Del Paxton says. Soooo.. My musical life is scaling back and I don't need an S-10 Fessy and a D-10 LaGrande.
So tell me, what's my Lagrande worth. I think I shucked out around $3000 (or so) for it and a new case. I know times are hard these days (as they are here in KY) What's it really worth.
I humbly seek your guidance...
Oh by the way... It's for sale, just don't know what to ask 
Regards,
Kevin |

To be honest, I have found the value of something is set by what the buyers are willing to pay for an item.
When the economy get worse, values decrease.
I have seen Beautifull Stunning Mullen D-10's not even bring $2000.00 last week. Unbelievable............
Here is another example:
3 months ago I tried to but a Jackson Blackjack that was 4 months used.
I offered $1750.00 and did not get the deal.
Right now there is one that has been for sell for over a week and can't even get $1399.00. One sold for $1300 or less.
I believe it is called a buyers market.
I want to sell my $207,000.00 house but now it is only worth $178,000.00 to potential buyers, so it looks like I will sit on it until the market rebounds because I don't need to sell right now but some of us members may need to sell to make ends meet. This is very unforunate. What don't kill us just make us stronger. |

Thanks Dave. The economy is really a bummer these days, don't get me started on my 401K...
I would like to get around $3000 for this one.
I gave well more than that for it, and I suppose I'll sit it out for a while if no one is interested at that price.
I will however entertain all offers, and consider all serious ones...
To fairer winds and following seas...

The end plate was stamped in 92 or 93. It was sold as a Lashely Legrande. Note the silver pedal rod ends.
The LII's had the new decal and black pedal rod ends. And they started around 1200 give or take a little. So you're in luck.  |
