Help with pricing

Im not really an acoustic player, so I'm not really up to date on whats good and whats not. Basically my girlfriends father is asking me to sell this guitar for him, and I made a craigslist ad and put it up. Before I actually let it go I just want to be sure that I am asking/getting a fair price. Can you guys help out with this...its a virtually unplayed guitar, kept in the case put away for years.

The new Ovation Legend acoustic/elec start at $1,699 at Musicians Friend. Completed listings on Ebay show similar guitars selling in a range of $500 - $700 give or take. I would say you are in the ball park given the condition of the guitar. Hopefully others will weigh in so you can get a consensus.

Nice guitar, by the way.

Some better closeup pictures of the top would help. Otherwise a good price and a nice guitar.

Price is probably fine. I wouldn't advertise it as vintage.

I agree, I changed the listing. I found someone else that was selling the same guitar with the same specs on ebay, and I just pasted what his said, and changed a few details. I always feel weird trying to make ads sound exciting or appropriate.
