I want to sell a guitar, need your o...

Buenos!

I want to sell my second guitar. I dont play it, because I have a better conde.
I need your opinion how much I could take for this guitar.

Its a Jose Luis Marin (hijo de Ramon Marin) 1999 / Lagonillas 20 - 22012 Malaga with the signature of Luis Marin and stamp.
N:556
http://www.zavaletas-guitarras.com/files/jlmarin.htm

Its a blanca, 65,5 cm, cypress front massive, very nice mosaic with crosses in hearts, normal mechanic. Very good condition. (good wood aroma (^_-))

Its very easy to play. My picado was faster on this guitar than on my conde now. Crazy.

I bought it for 1700DM(=ca. 850€) new in past. I bought it new from a person who brought it to my country.

I will ask my friends for doing some photos. I will upload them than.

So how much would you take for this guitar. If you are not shure, wait for the pics, please. But I would be very happy about your objective opinion.

I havent heard from this builder before and since these days, 80% of the price come from a big name, its very hard to estimate...is he well known/established?

For a good "no name" blanca you can ask between 1.000 and 1.500 € i guess. Then again i sold a mediocre EF5 blanca for 1.400 € ... its all in the name.

Hi, thank you for your reply! He has not such a big name as conde or reyes I think. So the money is for the guitar and not for the name I think. But its a guitar for beginners to middle class player. I remember now. I payed in € 850€. Here are some pics. Im thinking on selling it for 600-700€. What do all you think??

Yeah, like you can tell the quality of a guitar from an mp3 clip, sure. You really need to play a guitar, or have someone you trust play it.

What Doitsujin has to say about the guitar carries more weight (for me) then a sound clip.

Hi thanks for joining the theme.
Ok I will upload a soundsample of the guitar. At the moment a friend of me has the guitar. He trys it for a week. When I get it back I do a sample. But maybe he buys it.
