Help! Does anyone know how much a 2008 Charvel USA San Dimas went for new?

[micwalt]

Pawn shop near me has one listed on CL in slime green. They're asking $895. It has an aftermarket hard case, an aftermarket vol knob (which is the wrong color), and I think it may be missing the whammy bar. I wanna try and whittle 'em down a bit, but I need to know the original 2008 street price as a baseline.
Thanks.

I'll take a stab at it.

Let's go with $1695.

This one sold on Reverb last year. It was listed for $800. That doesn't mean that was the sale price.

Here's another one currently listed:

So they're in-line with current used pricing. At least on Reverb.

Yeah, I saw those. I just called, and they have the bar, as well as the original black knob.
I think I may head down there with some gear I've been wanting to unload and see if I can work something out.

the USA charvels (2008 )were priced around $1099 from dealers new back then.

Yeah, those first runs of orange, green, and black were $1099 and when they were discontinued they were getting blown out around $899.

 

[Maltomario]

i've seen them blown out for even less depending on the dealer. i got my orange socal for around $600 shipped. great guitars even at the normal 2008 street price IMO!

Never mind!
Just pulled the trigger on something else.
