About a year ago, I stopped playing guitar, and I just recently realized that my Taylor 414 acoustic has been sitting in the case the whole time. To be brief, it would actually get some use if I sold it to someone -- plus I could use the money. Anyway, I am thinking of putting it up on ebay, but I am not sure about the value of the 414. What should I expect to get for it? It's a 2003 model, I believe, and I rarely played it. Still in good condition.
What's a reasonable asking price? Also, would it be better to just sell it to a guitarcenter store?
Thanks for the advice.

we sell that guitar new for around $1500 Canadian; you could probably get around $1000 Canadian. if your lucky. (if it has the cutaway & electronics than it's worth more).

i think you would make more if you sold it to someone through ebay or the sort rather then trading it in at a guitar center, they will screw you over

Thanks for the advice. I'm thinking $800-$900 is reasonable....does that sound about right for the 414?

SRV, your best bet might be to just run. run away. or change your name on the forums and leave no indication that you did so.

That's one fine guitar. I'm seriously considering buying a 410ce for myself. I love the sound of that ovangkol (plus it looks beautiful).
