My mom paid Ł400+ for everything inclusing amp, the special padded bag etc. I want to sell it but im not sure how much its worth? the problem with researching the price, is that nowhere on the internet can i find the model i have. Its amazing, because i can find the black, and the black and white model, just not the black and yellow, that i have. heres a link to the black and white: http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/vw-5000s-metal-axxe-warp/68542 info on the black and yellow is impossible to find. Its in good condition..a few fine scratches, but they aren't visible much. any idea on price folks? cheers

And also are you sure it is yellow.... because this site here http://www.jhs.co.uk/metalaxxe.html says that the colours are black/vintage white... which looks to be slightly off white in colour so maybe thats the yellow?? like i said im not sure tho.

Have you found any where selling second hand ones in any colour just as an estimate in price? Since you cant find the yellow and black version it must either be extremely rare or just like someone else stated earlier just some kind of custom build.

Vintage guitars are budget guitars for beginners, the used market isn't very good, which is why you can't find it anywhere second hand. You MIGHT be able to get about Ł70-Ł80 for it if it's in good condition, but it will be hard to sell. That is REGARDLESS of what colour it is, it doesn't matter if it's a rare colour, that would only matter if it were a collector guitar like Gibson/Fender. Sorry if it's isn't what you wanted to hear, but life is unfair sometimes! You would be better off keeping it if it plays nice
