No chance for profit there. Unless you've been trained to "relic" things by Fender. In which case you can dry hump it with a belt buckle, set it on fire, drag it behind your car, and pocket a cool 11 grand.

^ What they said. Buying gear in that price range just to flip it is always risky. These regularly go on eBay for ~$1100-$1350, so at best you'd only make a few hundred bucks anyways. However at $1k it'd be worth it to buy and keep if you like it
