Mmm... provided it's in fair condition I'd say in the UK about £170 - £210, they are one of the lower classed build quality of the strats so they don't hold their value particularly well but my dad has one and i think it's OK, unfortunately there are better guitars out there that people can buy for the same money so you might be settling for even less than £170 unless someone has their heart set on one.

posts in this section require a photo. i know this is just an inquiry but a pic would be helpful. as voodoo said the MIM strats don't hold there value really well. for one in near mint condition here in the States you'd be lucky to get $250 and with the crappy economy probably less. guitars have taken a beating on the secondary market as there are many sellers at this point. even the vintage market is way down. check on ebay for what your guitar is selling for (make sure to look at final auction actually sold prices, asking prices mean nothing unless someone is buying)
and now for something completely different
