Members gitnoob Posted September 9, 2009 Members Share Posted September 9, 2009 I have a D-60, and I love it! But it's a different sound than either Martin or Taylor, and that's not a great price. Here's a good clip of a D-50 (the hog version): [YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE] Edit: here's the last sale of a D-60 on eBay: $1225+shipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gitnoob Posted September 9, 2009 Members Share Posted September 9, 2009 If I were you, I'd take my time and play a few gits. Martin alone probably has a couple hundred models to choose from. If you want generalizations, the story usually goes like this: Martins and Taylors will hold their value better than Larrivees, but Larrivees offer more bang for the buck, especially on the used market. Martins traditionally offer more bass, Taylors are brighter, and Larrivees strive for a balanced sound. But you really can't generalize. A certain sound, look, and feel will either grab you or not. They are all high-quality gits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gitnoob Posted September 9, 2009 Members Share Posted September 9, 2009 Do a search, then check the "completed auctions" button on the left-hand "refine search" column. Unfortunately, eBay doesn't keep much old data around -- you might get results for the last week or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members seagullplayer77 Posted September 9, 2009 Members Share Posted September 9, 2009 I see, I see... okay last question. Could you tell me how you got old ebay postings? I wanna do some closed auction searches. Occasionally, you can come up with some closed eBay auctions by just Googling whatever it is you're looking for. It's not the best way, and the eBay results are usually two or three pages in, but it works. And gitnoob is right---as popular as eBay is, they don't have the capacity to store lots of old, expired auctions. They might keep 'em around for a little while, but don't expect to find anything older than a month or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chordchunker Posted September 9, 2009 Members Share Posted September 9, 2009 You can get a new Martin D18 for $1700.00, a much better guitar imho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
