I got lucky and inherited my 000-18 when I was 8 years old, it is what prompted me to learn to play. I recently had it appraised by Gruhn's; thay set the price in its condition at aroun $6500.00 so not super pricey by some standards but I know I couldn't go out and buy one. Especially not one of the D's. If I could though ,IMO they are a good investment right now.
