I've got one of these to sell for a friend. Pot codes indicate 6 th week of 1950. All chrome is excellent, no pitting at all, Spagetti logo and metal tag logo are excellent, finish has some checking and has flaked off a bit in places, fret boards are near perfect condition, all electronics works perfect, and the case is in pretty good condition (tweed is all intact, interior is still very nice. I have a couple of people interested and I want to get a fair market value for it. Any help appreciated.

I paid $1025 for a triple neck 8 string, a month ago on eBay.

I watched an auction for a double in very good shape, with case, go for about $1000.

I am looking for the switch that allows you to go from one neck to another. Mine is missing.

Also looking for hard case for the triple.

There are two Dual Customs on Ebay right now, one walnut and one red. Check them to see what they do price wise.

According to the 2001 Vintage Guitar Price Guide, a 1950's Dual 8 Professional in excellent condition is worth between $625 and $800 USD.
The price would be adjusted downward depending on the condition of the guitar.

I would expect to pay in the 800 to 1000 range in 2002.If you check the FORUM and EBAY that will give you a ball park figure.
