So Bill and I were wondering what a korina Marv bird would bring in todays market. Yes Bill and I both have korina Marv birds. No they are not for sale. Just wondering what one would bring. I sold a hog Marv bird pre Covid for 4,500.00, that had to be at least 5 years ago. What do you folks think? let’s hear from the pundits!

You got a deal....my buddy the Nigerian Prince is sending funds, hand delivered by Tammy Faye Baker. Who will also sing & dance for your amusement.

I’ll offer you 2k.  Take or leave it.  

 
To answer Lance's original question... Sadly a lot less than you would hope.  You would have to find the right buyer that knew the history of Marv & Heritage, instead of someone just viewing it as a Gibby copy.

Just my opinion, hey you asked...

I agree. No one is going to know what it is. No one outside of this club anyway.

I agree too- don't get me wrong, great guitars and everyone here obviously loves them and knows what they are. But it doesn't go much farther than that. It's the same reason you see a million fake Gibsons out there but not one fake Heritage. There just isn't a market enough to even bother to try making one for the counterfeiters. Your average person on the street is still clueless about Heritage and certainly a Marv Bird. I don't know how many people I still mention Heritage to and they look at me like "Huh?" But you say "Gibson" and everyone and their Grandma knows what it is. So, the market for who is willing to part with big bucks for a Marv Bird is pretty limited to, basically everyone on this forum! Lol!

With the larger guitar world more familiar with Heritage and the rarity of this model, I still say my estimate is correct.  However, you're right its a matter of finding the right buyer, so it would take some time to sell.
