I'm trying to sell this steel for my mom. Dad passed away in 2010 and we don't want it sitting around collecting dust. Dad played every weekend, so you can see it's been used. I'm not going to try and pretend that I know a lot about this steel, but I will be very accommodating for questions. I will send more pictures through email to try and give a better idea upon request. A friend who was looking at this steel gave us an idea of $2400. So, I'm gonna try and keep it close to that. We are not interested in trading, just want it to go to a good home and get some use. Since this post, I'm moving price to $2300 purchaser pays shipping.
Thanks,
Jarrod

| That's the best price yet for a D10 SKH. I already have 12 steels for sale or trade or I would be on it. I will anyway if still available when I move one of mine. |

Posted 24 Jul 2013 2:34 am Jarod's in an awkward spot at $2400.
|
|
Jarod sent me a text message a couple days after I said I would buy it at $2400 the first day it was posted.......apparently so did a few more people- anyway, someone told him the guitar is worth as much as $3400. So for right now, he's fishin'.
Alright, so he offered it a bit low. The moneys going to his mom and He's looking to get a reasonable fair market value,so for now the $2400 price is off the table. He has gotten feedback in private emails and on this tread indicating the $2400 is too low. Fair enough- Lets help him get it sold. I bid $2500.00
Do I hear $2600?
respectfully ,
dean |

Here we go again!!!
I'm out. This kind of stuff really gets my craw.. Gives this whole section of the forum a bad taste.in my mouth. Put it in an auction house if you want to pull that kind of game. We all have someone we need to take care of...
Respectfully
Brian

Me thinks so too Brian. It should go for the posted price. The web is full of info on how much items are bringing and a little research would have done the trick. Is it a good deal, yes but not but about 300 or 400 below what it's worth. Good deals are posted on here a lot but to take back just because someone told them its worth more don't set well with me.

too many Chiefs, not enough Native Americans.......  Im wondering if the person who offered the 411 that the guitar might be under-priced was willing to offer more? Or was it just a case of mouth engaged before brain?
I agree Henry, sell it for the posted price to the first one in line. |

no one who posted on the thread was too out of line. we all just remarked it was a good deal. jarrod could have reposted it at that time or better yet just sold it and been happy that he helped his mom.
at this point i agree that it should go to the first who offered what he asked. |

I went to see the guitar today. It is a nice guitar. I love these SKH's !!! It has a 5-way Pentad pickup installed on the C-6 neck. Per my discussion with Jarrod, he would like me to post the current shape of the guitar. It has been sitting idle for quite some time since his dad passed away. Undercarriage & changer will need to be thoroughly cleaned and adjusted. There is a lot of issues that need to be resolved. Some parts are not hooked up and a lot of dings in the guitar. There is a lot of nicotine residue and grime and grease. According to Jarrod, this was a "working guitar", with his dad playing the bars, etc. Clean it up good and you'll have a great guitar and great tone and sustain machine, no doubt !! Also you won't find a nicer and honest guy than Jarrod.

Chris,
He was a nice guy and fellow Minnesotan. He needs the money for his mom. I didn't try to talk him down.
I even emailed him before I met with him and since it is for his mom, I told him that 2400 was too little for that guitar. He offered it to me for 2600 and he is firm at that. I don't blame him. It's worth that and more, but whoever purchases it will have to spend quite a long time cleaning it up, but it sure will be worth it when done. I just tore my rotator cuff so I don't want to stress it by taking this guitar apart and cleaning it up right now.
Because I buy and sell some steels, doesn't mean I don't have a heart, Chris. At least I think I do.
Al

my post wasn't intended to slight anyone who'd posted above. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
$2600.00 is still a very fair price for the guitar imho, but my point was that sometimes helping causes more confusion than intended.
If I didn't already have its twin Id buy it. |

Hi Everyone,
I want to thank everyone for their posts. I have been a little busy with my actual job (funny how that goes). As for dad's steel, it's still here and I guess the best I'll let it go for is $2600.00 A couple hundred more than originally posted. I had a very good talk with Al and I want to thank him for all of his pointers. I don't want to sugar coat anything or have this misleading. He pointed out that the guitar needed some cleaning. I knew there needed some tlc done as dad used this guitar (usually at Legions, VFW and other bars (before the ban on smoking in public places) and at the time he put it away I think the shock of not being able to play in the band anymore made him not even want to look at it. It was his life, it was his pride and joy. I hope everyone understands. I don't want to come off as a money grubber (please put yourself in my shoes). I have no knowledge of this steel, so when someone approaches and says a grand more than I'm offering... wouldn't you step back? Anyway, sorry not trying to taint the site. This is where I'm at. I will take $2600 I'm not keen on shipping, but I will I guess. Shipping costs will be on purchaser. Thanks everyone!!! |
