If I found a guitar I want for $499, how much should I offer for it?

Hmm.

A good thing to do would be to check out a few websites & print off their prices, Take those in. ( If they're lower of course_ if comepare them.

Well, the last guitar I bought they gave me $100 off, and it was $600. Tell 'em take off $100?

Jay Turser, he makes great sounding/playing electric guitars for a steady price.

Not all of us spend our entire savings on a guitar. If you'd like to wheel and deal, and not pay the whole wad, just find out what the standard retail discount is- that's usually what they're discounting down to anyways.

It depends on who you're buying from and what you're buying.

Basically, how bad does the seller want to move the guitar? If its new, but has been hanging on the wall forever and shows signs of shop wear, you could just about get away with offering "used" value. If it just came in yesterday, plan on paying full retail.
