Then I sell em for hopefully £900
Used 80s and 90s Customs I can get for around $1600 if Im lucky, thats around £900/1000. Then sell em for around £1200.
Reissues I can get for around $2000, thats around £1200/1300. Then Sell em for around £1500.
Class 5s / Elegants / Other custom shop stuff $2200, thats around £1400/1500. Then sell em for around £1600/1700.
Overall its extremely hard to make money. One day on the UK ebay a standard can go for £950, the next, £825. Or a 57 RI Goldtop I can sell for £1500, then the next day people aint interested in it at £1100.
I usually only make around £100 per guitar. Sometimes I hit the big time. every 3rd or 4th guitar I might make £300 on, every 7th or 8th I might hit £500 profit.
