What is one of these worth? Reverb shows SOLD values from $30 to $300!!! It was "case candy" from a recent purchase.

The standard one's aren't worth much, the crazy prices only apply to "rare" ones. Looks like about $60 for a new one.

The early "made in Japan" versions are sought after

Nice bit of candy.
Even with box, if it's not Japanese, your looking at 30 to 40 bucks. 40 seems to be the asking price but by the price guide, it looks like sellers are accepting lower prices.

Sweetwater has them new for $58 shipped.

Not allot, but on the plus side, it's a known, classic pedal in great shape, and could be good trade bait.
