Selling a Fender Squire (red with black edging...quite nice really) and a Marshall amp 15w.

Both pieces bought just 6 months ago. Guitar like new. Amp...well, here it is. It only works with headphones. There is a loose connection somewhere which means the speaker doesn't work. The amp works fine with headphones, but not without. Probably wouldn't cost too much to get it fixed....

So...the amp for 50,000 (new 160,000), the guitar for 200,000. Would like to sell both...I'm moving at the end of the month. I'm near Busan.

200k for a squire? Sounds steep to me. What model?

[Carlyles Ghost]

No, it's not too steep. It's a cheap Fender Squire with a good sound and it is priced accordingly. PM me if you're interested.

[JustJohn]

Well you won't tell me the model so I'll be generous and assume it's an affinity series. New price is $150 US. Your price would be close to $220 US.

Now I know fenders are more expensive in Korea, but there's still no way anyone's going to buy a used guitar that's marked up 40 percent from the new price. 100k IF it's an affinity series AND in good condition.

[Carlyles Ghost]

Well, you have a choice here JJ.....buy it or not. I would suggest not.

To others, the guitar cost 250,000 KRW new. PM if interested.

[Edit: a new Standard Squire Strat with rosewood fretboard (the model which I am selling) is 349.99 USD...Source: fender.com/resources/pricelist

The Affinity model which JJ mentions above is a cheaper model than the standard; it retails for 249.99 USD.

200,000 KRW is a very good price for a Standard Squire. PM if interested.]

*bump*

[JustJohn]

Ah, alright. It's more reasonable if it's the better model. Still, musician's friend price is $200 US new. Those are very solid guitars though. I offer 115k if it's in good condition. I know the offer is a little low, but it's not quite what I'm looking for.

[Carlyles Ghost]

Its in perfect condition (and has a great sound). It's only 6 months old. So, I'll pass on the offer. Would actually like to ship it home, but I could probably pick up a new one back home for less than they would charge to ship it.
Got lots of mileage out of it and was very happy with it.

115,000W for a fender squire? man, where do you get your prices? why don't you buy from whatever website you are quoting? you are seriously lowballing him...

[JustJohn]

I know, I said it was a lowball. I'm nothing if not honest. But I think a fair price would be about 150k so it's not THAT much of a lowball.

[Carlyles Ghost]

Keep comin' John. Just 50,000 won to go. (I'd even throw in a pair of string snippers)

[Scouse Mouse]

What model is the squire? You can buy cheap squires from $100 online, and I got one for 110,000w when I first arrived.

Then again, you can also buy much better models at much higher prices. We have no way of knowing which you have without more information

Take a few photo's (including a close-up of the headstock) and post them here, and people may show more interest.
