hello all -

When I look at the blue book, i see that the Totem Forests have a 'new' price of $3,000 - and that the used price is comfortably in the $1,200 - $2,200 range to support this.

I stopped into a local dealer and they have a pair of the Forest in Black laquer for $4,800 - which seemed quite pricey just for laquer. So I got their pricing structure ...

Forest Ash/ Black Laquer: $4,000 / 4,800
Hawk Ash/Black Laquer: $3,000 / $3,900
Staaf Ash only $1900

Looking at the blue book i see

Forest $3,000
Hawk $2,300
Staaf $1495

Can anyone confirm which pricing structure is correct?

Thanks,
Ethan

Although I agree that the "blue book" is out of date, I use it as a rough guide and can usually find a price for something with a simple search and looking at Ebay (which comes up in a search often anyway).
The Blue Book at least tells you when things were made and leads you to reviews, but that's about all it's good for.
