Switch Wild Signature like a cheap PARKER

[Ascension]

I rescued one of these in near mint condition from a Pawn Shop last week and have thought of keeping it as a travel guitar but really ddon't need it. I have the guitar listed on ebay but if someone here wants it for $225 + actuall shipping I will end the listing and sell here.
Here is the ebay link http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=280230355568&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=018

Isn't that same guitar you got about a week ago for $100?

Hey, it's not about what he got it for, it's about how much someone is willing to pay. That's the world of guitars, or any other type of transferable goods.

If he had gotten a '56 Les Paul at a flea market for $200 bucks, would you whine if he wanted more for it?

Yep same guitar I bought at a Pawn Shop for $100.
That same guitar was on the rack filthy, had the action and intonation so screwed up it was unplayable and the screws for neck pickup were missing. After a few hours of clean up and set up it really turned out pretty doggone nice.
Frankly I bought it to restore and sell but it surprised me and I thought about keeping it as a travel guitar. The reality is I have bills due ( I have to pay for school next week to get my CEU's and keep my license current ) and need to make some money!
FYI the going price on these Wild Signatures ( the Sig is bringing about $100 higher than the standard ) is normaly around $300 so---.
Look guys it's no secret this is how I have survived the current Real Estate crunch ( I'm a Realtor) I buy fix up and flip gear. I'm not getting rich but I am making enough to survive + it gives me something positive to do. Only thing is selling on ebay is killing me with the fees!!
The Carvin DC 400 I bought a few weeks ago may be on the block soon also.
I found it also in about the same shape in a Pawn Shop I paid $500 for it restored it ( clean up, set up, wiring work, replacing pickups back to stock with the Carvin actives). You would be hard pressed to tell this was not a brand new guitar now and it should easily bring $750-$850 on ebay. I may well keep this one but I will offer it here for much less than that if I do decide to sell it. Check my feedback here and on ebay no games I'm a straight up seller!!

Not trying to bust your chops, I just remember when you posted about it and you seemed to like a bit. Just didn't think you would let it go so soon. Besides, I think I bought a Crazy 8 from you quite a while back. I know you are a straight shooter and wasn't trying to imply otherwise. Best of luck, those are fun guitars - great for some serious abuse.

Hey I understand bro! Truth is I WAS planning to keep this one as a travel/ beater guitar but right now I'm getting my tail kicked in my buisness. The fees and expenses as a Realtor just don't stop coming no matter if you sell or not. I just had a Real Estate deal I was really counting on closing next week go bust so I have to sell some stuff stuff to survive!
