I have a parker fly, almost new, only used a few hours, playing the guitar gives me back pain, I thought a fly would be a solution but no.
last week I took out of the closet the fly that has been resting there for 14 years to sell it and I wonder what price I can have for it?
I'm surprised to see the asking price for some fly on ebay, reverb.
guitar announced at 9k -10 k are there any sales at this price?
I feel like someone who just found a forgotten lotto winning ticket.

Hi
@oktav,
We have a thread devoted to this very discussion
here, and the short answer seems to be “around $2,500”, though depending on the model and condition of your Fly, that may vary.
If you tell us a bit more about it, then we can help you get a sense of what you might be able to get.

VJ is right.
There are some Flys on EBay that have been sitting with an asking price of $3499 for months.
Others have sold at $2500-3000.
Some asking prices are way out there. There’s a beautiful Fly Artist sitting there with an asking price of $6500 for a few months. I think it might sell one day for around $3500 or a bit more because it’s near perfect.
Please tell us what you have.
I know I’m looking for an Artist.

Gotcha—that’s a 2007 Fly Deluxe.
For reference,
here’s a 2005 Fly Deluxe in the same color in seemingly “Very Good” condition that a store has been trying to sell for $3,800 with the option to accept offers.

Where are you located?
There are different values by area.
EU is a little cheaper right now.
Australia also.
The US your fly in great condition might sell between $2500 and $3400 depending on who is looking for what and how many are currently listed and luck.
There is a great thread referenced above that gives a lot of data.
The consensus here is that a very good condition Deluxe should sell around $2500. But that is only one perspective.
Did you resolve your back issues? The Parker helped with mine.

not solved my back problem but much less worse, I started at the piano it's better for me.
I live in Canada,quebec., it is surely not here that the fly is sold at the best price
ok, so those who ask a high price on reverb and ebay can catch a fish but most of the time stay with their guitar.
That is what I thought. thanks .
