I would say that the market is pretty depressed right now for sure! There is nothing wrong with buying off Craigslist, just buy from local people. Meet in person in a public place. There are many deals to be had right now if you have the money to spend. Many are selling cheap. Just know what you are looking at before you buy. I seen someone on Craigslist the other day selling a Kramer Aerostar for $500! This is more of a $50 guitar. :rolleyes:
