Quoted from Eryeal:Problem is in my mind a mint HUO one that is tuned is much more valuable than a NIB one at this point in time.. NIB one you are going to have to deal with the aux board potential issue, Wolverine issues, etc. For around $6k you can get one fully tuned, and probably about $1k worth of awesome mods on it. At least that's about what they've been going for. Also competing with a NIB Magneto here in the Marketplace from a few weeks ago that's currently at $6k.
I think that is a minority opinion. NIB is easier and cheaper to ship. Plus you are pretty much guaranteed that there is no damage inside the box unless it was stored it in an unheated building where it gets cold in the winter or way to hot in the summer (temperature extremes).
