There was this nice guitar I was offered for $200. I'm really looking to sell for more when I get it because I need to pay off this Marshall amp I bought but I was wondering, would I get alot for it? Heres a old ebay auction that is the same as the one I will purchase.

Just mine doesnt come with the original box or strap. How much could i get for this?

Wow, that was my first electric--$29.95 clearance at Gemco. Mine was red & black burst. Well, it was cool in 1965. $610 and it doesn't even have the headstock logo? Kind of extreme if you ask me...now if it'd been the metallic blue Spectrum 4-pickup model with the multi-colored pushbuttons, that'd be another story.............

I had one just like it minus the trem. Terrible player, as were most Teisco's I have ever had my hands on. Good for a nostalgia purchase or a high strung slide guitar but you would need to change the pups anyway for good tone. That would be better money spent towards a Hooker IMHO.

I recognize the body and the pickups, they are the same as my Kingston. Different headstock, neck, color, electronics, and mine had a wood bridge base under that same roller type bridge. Same tailpiece too. I bought mine for $20 at a garage sale, tried to play it for a few years, then made a clock out of it. It is a better clock than it was a guitar.
