Some of your sold prices are madness tho!
Bit of a bargain, that.
In 1985, I swapped a 1962 fawn AC30 combo with blue speakers..........for..... (wait for it)........
....a small crappy Pignose combo and £40.....
An ibanez gio I gave to my aunts charity shop.
A squire strat I gave to a neighbour to learn on.
A mex strat I just gave to my nephew to learn on.
To much hassle trying to sell them.
just look at the guitar selling sites at the amount of guitars which simply don’t sell for years due to their price being too much for the market .
The other point is due to the internet we are more aware of relative values of kit and desirability but it still comes down to finding the buyer who will pay the price your asking. If you can’t do that you have two options keep the guitar and try later or drop your price
1986 sold a HiWatt Custom 100 for £100
1993 sold a Marshall silver Jubilee 100 watt for £200 and the matching cab for £140
1994 sold a Marshall 100 watt valve head for £100
But at the time your lusting over something else ... old Hiwatts and Marshalls weren't that popular in the late eighties and early nineties. People wanted a more processed sound like Gallien Krueger, Kitty Hawk, Mesa rack etc

The best was a 2003 Murphy painted Gibson R9 Les Paul I bought from Japan for £2500 and only paid £75 in customs, don't know why it was so little and I had factored in a lot more to the purchase.... A year later I posted it to the owner of a guitar shop in Holland for £4500 and he was happy with that price!!! Before anyone accuses me a flipping a guitar for profit, I played it for a year but fell in love with an original '59 junior, so it had to go! Not my fault the market in the EU is different to that in Japan
