What is a good price on a used Thomas 2x4 hair-on case? There is one in town for sale, and curious if the $350 he is asking for is too much?
 
Depends what "hair-on" means. Never heard that before. This is a little high in my book. I think he would make a 2X4 for about $300. Will also depend on pockets, and the type of leather he used to make it. It could cost upwards of $500 or more for exotics.
 
I would think it is high. I used to own a thomas 2x4 case in plain black. I can't remember how much I paid, but I think it was probably around $100-150. These are very nice cases and good quality. The one you are asking about is some sort of exotic material which can add significantly to the price.

Check around to find something similar, but my initial reaction is that it is priced high, especially if it is not even a brand new case. A top quality case made from exotic materials can go for at least that much ( brand new retail), but unless this case is paticulary special, I don't think I would pay that much.
 
hair on

hair on cow, with 15" pocket and shoulder strap. My apologies for the vagueness.

If you really like the case and it's like new, then it's a good deal. Nobody else makes this style of case at the moment. I saw one and they are really great cases, with a nice way to hold the top on that looks pretty sturdy. For a basic 2X4 Thomas, the retail is $325 to $375. I imagine the hair-on-cow adds at least $100.

Generally, these sort of custom cases tend to hold their value pretty well. You can also make a counter offer.

i'll take all the 2x4 thomas cases you can find for $100-$150. you can't buy a used 1x2 for under $185. $350 sounds about right for a normal leather thomas case, the exotics are more.
