The ESP Guitar Company

Two were listed on Reverb a couple of months ago for $12,000++ bro

yes, but I think he was asking realistically.

THose were listed and did not sell

my would guess they are somewhere 4,000-6,500 depending on condition.

last one that sold on reverb were in the 4,000s. before that was in the 3,000s but that one did not have cert I believe

No they didn't end up selling. The one on Reverb (from Essex recording studio) that was listed at $13k+, he previously bought it outside of reverb for around $4500. He then listed it back on Reverb for $13k+, a little over a month later! There's a previous thread on this board about it a few months back. Then the other one from Japan that was listed for $12k, happened because I found his old Reverb auction from like 9 months ago, at the time, as it didn't sell for $8k. I reached out to him to see if he still had the guitar, and he said yes for $9k. I told him that I was not interested, and then he relists it on Reverb for $10k a few days later! After a week or so, he then bumped it up to $12k. That's where they sat for almost a year, until they both took them off. The last time I checked, Essex recording studio didn't even get an offer.

Here's the link to the one Essex bought, then relisted...

The one from Japan was pretty beat up as well right ?

Yea that one had all kinds of scratches, dents and cracks. Also, it didn't have the COA, only an ESP inspection card.
