Value Of Mid 90's ES 335 Dot??

[SteveS]

I hope this is not considered improper Forum etiquette (I will delete this post if it is)...but I have a 1995 ES 335 Dot that I plan to sell and I'm trying to get an idea of what sort of money these are going for on the used market? I realize that prices are probably all over the map (especially on Ebay)... but I'm interested in hearing what people here feel to be a "fair" price to ask for this guitar? MF and Music 123 currently have these avertised for $2850 on their site (my guitar has the Antique Natural finish which commands a $500 upcharge over Cherry and Sunburst).

Here's the details:

1995 ES 335 Dot in "Antique Natural". Mint condition (no dings, dents, scratches). A bit of "aging" on the Grover tuners... but that's it. Heavily flamed top, back, and sides. Original hardshell case.

Great guitar...I just don't play it enough... and I need to drum up some cash to help off set the cost of a Les Paul I just bought. Any comments or opinions would be greatly appreciated!

Saw a '98 Natural 335 with Seth Lover's in it a few months back. It was reduced to this on the second listing.

They are all over on Ebay as you stated. Maybe $1950. I would guess on Ebay. Seems to always be a lot of 335's on there. A lot of other finishes sell from in the neighborhood of $1400. - $1750,1800..

Too bad I didn't know - I have a very nice '02 Standard in top shape I would have traded you.

Thanks bluesjuke! Judging from what I found (Ebay, new advertised prices, used dealer advertised prices) $1950 (ish) was also what I was thinking for a "fair ballpark figure" to ask for the guitar. Being a "Les Paul junkie", I'm just completely out of the loop when it comes to these ES models!
