Hi Folks:
I have a friend in Nova Scotia who is contemplating selling his two Rickies as he's downsizing. The earlier one has only the volume control (made that way), the other one has both volume and tone controls. I understand that both are in very good condition.
What would be an approx asking price on each please? He doesn't have a computer, that's why I"m asking.
Thanks.
Geo

I haven’t seen a B6 offered for under $1000 in a couple years. Every B6 being offered at more than $2000 is still sitting. So, without pictures and more details, you can figure around $1000 for a post WWII and around $1500 for a pre-war.
A like-new pre-war could fetch around $2000-$2500.

I agree with Allan on pricing of this era. I bought a war time B6 with an original case a few months ago for $1200. 7 and 8 string “Pandas” can be a bit higher. Add a couple hundred more for pre war models with the slightly bigger pickup.
