This would go for about $275 if it were being straight up bid nowadays on ebay - the market is very soft at the moment for these low end USA made catalog guitars. But this one is a unique and fairly nice example (they are usually black and very beat up). So the seller might make you a decent deal. I just bought one of these myself from a guy in Boston for $300 + shipping.
