I just picked up a pretty nice 2010 PRS Custom 24 hanging in local shop, tagged for around $2k. My google fu is failing me, and I can't seem to figure out what a fair price is for this model and year. I would say the guitar is certainly worth that much, in terms of quality and sound, but I don't know in terms of market value.
Some specs-- not a 10 top, cherry sunburst, locking schaller tuning pegs, bird markers (the hollow style), fender-style trem. Can't think of anything else.
I have 7 days to return, and I actually told the guy, hey I'm no expert at pricing these, I'll take it on condition that if I find out I way overpaid you'll refund me, and he agreed. I won't be too put out if I paid a couple hundred to much, but any more then that, it goes back.
I seem to see prices all over the map on the web-- used McCarty's going for 1,500, other customs going for 2,200 used and customs on the big box online sites going for 2.4 - 3.3k. Also, some online stores have a pile of "private reserves" for 2.5-3.5k, which seems cheap-- as well as some up to 10k.
Any advice would be hugely appreciated, thanks.
