My AV '62: am I asking a fair price?

[frettchen]

I am thinking to sell my 2000 American Vintage 62 Custom Telecaster in Ice Blue Metallic finish. It's a nice guitar with some scratches on the body (2 years of tours), but neck and fretboard are perfect.
It is all original, with its vintage hard case and candies. I am asking 1700 euros (I live in Italy) and I surely would accept 1650.
Many people seems to be interested, but so far no one has made offers to purchase it. I thought I had put an adequate price, but evidently I was wrong.
What do you think? the intention is obviously to sell it: I don't want to put a price out of the market, but I don't want to sell it off either
Thanks for reading

Ah... The guitar

I think your asking price is fair. You could be flexible but, it's a reasonable ask. Your guitar is beautiful and if someone wants it, they may find it difficult to find another of the EXACT one.

Buona Fortuna!

Nice.
Seems fair asking price to me but don’t know the Italian market. UK is a bit weak for sales but those sell.

I believe your's to be a fair price. Things are a little tight right now for some of us. Be patient, someone out there really wants that guitar.

The market will tell you if it's a fair price. Tough market currently for used guitars. Beautiful guitar.

Hi! I see your price a bit over, not unfair but I think you'll struggle to sell it for that. I'd consider it around 1500€. Here in Spain you can see from time to time AVs under 1500€. I sold a 2012 AV 62 hot rod stray for 1300€ last year without the original pickups

$1100 - $3000 on Reverb with less than ten on sale.

That seems fair to low IMO

Very nice tele. It's just like my AO 60's tele, but mines Lake Placid Blue.
1700€ ~ $1,800.
There's a guy on CL in our area who's been trying to sell an early 2K tele just like yours for $2,200, it's been listed for over a year. I would consider buying it for around $1,600.
I don't know what your market is like so no advice there.
Check out the prices on Reverb. Search "AO 60's Telecaster" too.

Edit: I don't understand why you would sell yours. I love mine and it will probably be passed on to my kids or grandkids.
Another thing, don't give it away either, it's a REALLY GOOD guitar.

I think your price is reasonable.

The wear probably puts some people off. I reckon you knock a little off the price and it'll move pretty quickly.

That AO is beautiful!
I see your question about the sale, but I have several guitars, and unfortunately, I have to choose which ones to let go.

 

[frettchen]

Thank you all, you’ve confirmed what my initial idea was! Since it’s a rather uncommon instrument, I wasn’t sure about the asking price.

 

[Dukex]

Yes, fair price IMO, but markets are fluid and sometimes fair doesn't equal sale.

 

[RWB]

I can't comment on the price since it's so dependant on the market you're in. I have the same guitar (made in 2002) in the same finish. It's one of my favourites. Highly recommended.

 

[robt57]

Boy, that's purty!

 

[msalama]

Reasonablish, I'd say? List it for €1.5K firm if you really want to get rid of it and it'll sell fast.

 

[frettchen]

The buyer took more than 1 hour to decide, but in the end I sold the guitar today for 1700 euros.
