Given recent trends, I'm curious to see how many times those are unlisted or discounted $500 at a time between now and 2024.
On eBay, we have a
white '95 Deluxe with paint chips and 10 spring for $2,202+tax. Update: Sold within 24 hours.
On 3/27/23, we had a zero feedback seller list
eighteen guitars for “local pickup only” in MA. Three suspiciously cheap Flys ($1,750 each) are among the listings:
’99 Supreme
’98 Butternut
White ‘09 Artist
Update: All listings sold within minutes of being mentioned here. I did not purchase any of them, but the seller explained that they (and the other fifteen guitars posted at the same time) are being sold by the son of a late guitarist who doesn’t play; and just wanted to have a local estate sale.
We have this
red '95 Deluxe listed for $2,290+tax, as of April 1st. Update: Down to $2,180 as of the 4/5/23. 4/8 Update: Finally down to $2k even.
Blue '97 Nitefly with disconnected piezos for $1,279.
As of April 4th, we have a number of price drops among Fly listings which take them down to the sub- USD $3k range:
2011 Natural Mojo in Australia (hefty shipping, but no import duties for US buyers).
Black 2001 Deluxe for $2,800 can perhaps be negotiated down when the below competing listing is referenced.
Black ‘97 Deluxe for $2,700.
Red Mojo Flame of unspecified year for best offer under $2,730.
Note that all these listings are still competing with the above $2,180 listing for the red ‘95 Deluxe, which is yet to sell. Therefore, a realistic sale price range for these competing listings may end up being around $2K with the current market saturation.
As tired a topic as it is, I wanted to comment that it seems the majority of activity in the other online Parker communities remains a handful of people still appraising their own guitars as appreciating ever-
upward through disingenuously citing the most ridiculously expensive listings on Reverb, which have been sitting for 5+ months. One person attempting to redirect the discussion away from debate even argued the presumptive notion that Flys values
inevitably going higher and higher “benefits us all.” The only way that could be true is if we all not only wanted to get rid of our guitars, but also don’t intend to subsequently buy any others for a cost we ourselves would have necessarily inflated beyond our reach in the name of short term greed for the first condition to apply. I don't see the point in invoking such a platitude.
This get-rich-slow mentality of owning a Parker-branded guitar is why I only post about them on a tech resource site: Once acquired, I value my guitars according to how much I
play them. Beyond that specialized use, my guitars are of far less practical value than a kitchen spatula. If spatula values inevitably appreciate, it benefits us all.
On April 6th, this
sunburst DF824 popped up on Reverb for $6,665+tax.
A rare
Vernon Reid popped up for sale in Italy on April 21st. We'll see how long it stays up.
