Price watch (73)


This entry should have been an appendix to Episode 72, really. It seems there are 3 Ibanez EWP14 in the after-market with interesting prices. 
  • $88. The best deal & the most well-maintained. Didn't get along due to the size.
  • $190. Gave up due to a lack of playing time. Slightly blemished but barely visible.
  • $270. Costs more than a new piece from Swee Lee but includes a stand.
The EWP14 is $265 new. From the listings above, we kinda know who really wants to pass this on to a deserving owner & then there's someone who is very reluctant to accept the fact that some things depreciate upon re-selling. The EWP is a niche / novelty instrument. Cost recovery shouldn't be the agenda when putting this up for sale. Keep in mind the EWP is trying its level best to keep up with its newer sibling, the AUP.
