Default 1998 Martin D-28 value ??

Yesterday on CL, I saw a 1998 D-28 listed as in very good shape for $1,300 w/original case ... today the ad has been pulled.

Isn't $1,300 a really good price for a 14 year-old D-28 in very good shape?

What do you think? Did the guitar just sell really quickly, or did the seller make a mistake in posting the price??

Yea sounds like a fair price to me. I see a lot of them that age around here still going for 1500 or so. You shoulda snatched it up

Not a steal but OK and within usual range. $1300 to $1600 would be a typical range for a recent, used D-28.

Agreed, the price is just "market", not high, not low.

About $200 less than one might expect to pay for a used one in excellent condition, IME.
