Well, my auction guy set those prices. Methinks it's a bit ambitious too, so I do agree with that. There's a premium there definitely, but I certainly am not of the mind to expect anything. I have to say though: it's a bit of a "what the market will bear" situation. For instance, my last set of auctions saw two of my instruments being sold abroad for way more than double what I felt they'd normally be worth. I'm generally a reasonably modest guy who doesn't let "stardom get to my head", but if people want to pay for that stuff as such, I'm certainly not going to stop them.

Keeping it real,
JMJ

I think that's fair. A lot of NIN fans out there who would consider it a museum piece and a wise investment.

A instrument from the NIN farewell tour? Oh yeah. There is an über-fan out there that has already considered buying it. For sure. Heck, those shredded pieces of stripped down Epiphone Les Pauls were going for hundreds of dollars just because Trent played them for half a song and smashed the crap out of it!!

I'm not going to lie...if I had the money, I'd be all over that Jaguar! Mainly because Jags are KILLER with a Badass II affixed to them!

I should know, I had to sell one when I was neck deep in medical bills!

Says a guy who likely wouldn't hesitate one second if he could sell ANYTHING for more then it's worth. I know I wouldn't. Value will always depend on the individual.

The whole body is different, yes. I had it when I was younger...not sure how it broke - so long ago!
