I've sold and traded plenty of pedals on Craigslist but only a guitar or two.
Anyway, this is not a want ad because I've read too many horror stories about selling guitars through the mail and have decided to keep it local.(thanks for the heads up citizens of TGP) So I won't be putting it up in the emporium.
So, I have a 2001 emerald green Les Paul Studio. Which is used but not abused. Some small nicks, a little buckle rash. The color is rare and it has chrome hardware instead the usual gold found on this year's model.
There's more info on this particular guitar at the Gibson Forum here plus it has way better pictures than mine showing the beautiful finish.

The guitar was professionally set up by the guy I traded it to (a Guild electric acoustic). He worked at a local instrument shop with a great rep. Needless to say it has great action and tone. Too bad, I've learned I am a Strat and Tele guy.
When selling on CL, I tend to price things as fairly as possible on the lower end and emphasize firm on price if that makes sense. Saves time by taking away the power from hagglers and tire kickers.
Anyway, is $650 a fair price, can anyone give me details as to why or why not. Thanks for taking the time to read this, I've done the research on pricing but I've seen this model go used for as high as $1000, which is too much and I've seen similar go for $700 and up but not with this color and hardware. Thanks in advance.
