Orion Bluebook provides large databases of price and value information about general musical instruments, vintage guitars, audio equipment, computers and other items. Except for vintage guitars, most objects in their databases are by mainstream manufacturers made within the last 30 years or so. You will need to know the exact manufacturer and model number as there are no tools provided for determining this kind of information. Information provided usually includes original manufacturer's retail price (if known), current retail and dealer prices as determined by dealer surveys, with a range depending on condition. This information is useful for establishing a fair price for your object for purposes of selling it or documenting insurance value (check with your carrier to determine if this is sufficient documentation). Orion Blue Books charges a fee for this information of which Mewzik.com receives a small percentage commission.
