Default RE: Thinking about buying a kit


ORIGINAL: frenchie79

It's a funny thing about kits, I attended two swap meets this winter, Tryed selling a SSE new in the box with the clear wrap still on it for $80 bucks and no one would look at it, while I sold a couple ARFs for a respectable price-100 Plus. Go figure! I had a Senior Telemaster kit that most looked at and ran because of all the wood- the question is ''where are all the builders''.
I know- I know it's a swap meet. Just something to do in the winter-sell ARF's
I suspect the reason that your kit didn't sell was the fact that you can get the SSE kit through your LHS for around $80 bucks.
When I go to a swap-meet I'm looking for bargains, and stuff that's discontinued.
