There is a beautiful 96 model Gibson Chet Atkins CE for sale on ebay with a starting bid of $1,800. Full disclaimer - it's mine. This guitar has been played less than 10 hours - probably less than 5 hours. It is in mint condition - if it has a mark on it I can't find it.

My Gibson CE didn't sale. Just curious as to what some of you think - what is a fair price for this guitar?

I don't know what a 'fair price' for the guitar would be but having a "starting bid" that high is off-putting in an auction situation I would think. I thought ebay had some hidden number (reserve?) that the seller would require bidders to pass before they would release the instrument

There are two on ebay right now (6/4/16) at around 1400.00 with "watchers"

Starting that high takes all the fun out of the "auction"

You may have put it up at a time when no one was looking for one

Thanks, I'm not an experienced eBay seller. I appreciate your comments.

I'm currently looking for one now and I live in Nashville and drop by Gruhns and Carter vintage guitars regularly. I see them occasionally for sale there for $1,250.00 . Rob is the acoustic instrument salesperson at Gruhns. You can always call to verify. Sounds like you have a nice one!
