Phew. Just sold it locally along with the hard-shell case. Mind you not for $660 that I bought it for but $330. It has been on consignment in the shop I originally bought it in for 4 months.
Last week I gave them a call to probably reduce the price that I intended to sell it for (from $460 to $350-380). The guy who was on the phone said he'd call back after he consulted the cashier.
A couple minutes later the cashier (a sleepy-sounding or just plain slow woman) hits me with the following line: "It's a little early to call and check if it's been sold yet". Me: "Early? After 4 months"
Later on the week I've posted the sale ad on a local message board with the price of 430 bucks and got two potential buyers. One of them came by this Tuesday and played it for 20 minutes and said he'd think about it. This Friday another guy PMd and said he'd buy it for $330. Later that day we texted back and forth and he said that it's a lot for a Chinese fake Gibson and his final offer plunged to $250. He even went as far "nobody will buy it for more" and stuff like that.
For the last couple of days I kind of got tired of all this bull and called the first guy and offered to sell it to him for $330 to him. He gladly took me up on that and bought it today.
I'm real happy to get rid of it at least for half of the original price to say the least.
