TB Studio four string - what's it worth?

[Lightyear]

I have a like new, minty Studio four in black that is just sitting in the case unloved.  This thing is 10 out of 10 with the case candy.  The OHSC is like new as well.  I really hate to sell stuff off but I'm contemplating selling this one.  Anyone have any idea what these are bringing nowadays?

I can tell you that the one I just got started out with a cash price of $925 or trade (which I thought was way high), and dropped to $800 after a day or so. IIRC, they originally sold for around $1100, so I think that the second number would be on target for something clean. If yours is dead mint, maybe a bit more. They were somewhat mis-marketed, and that could impact the value until somebody wakes up to how good they are. I don't know what the production numbers are, but there can't have been too many built.

Thanks, mine is dead mint.  I got it on Ebay from a pawn shop several years ago and it looked like it had never been played and still had, what I assumed, was the factory setup.

eBay sold listings show one sold last month for $750 and another in June was listed at $999 but a best offer was accepted.

$800 seems reasonable to me, maybe a little more since it's dead mint. But you might have to wait a while for the right buyer if you're selling it locally since it's not a well known model.

I'd say 700 bucks - for not much more you can already get a good used real TBird and the Studios are  not collector items though there is nothing wrong with them.
