I have a Gibson Flying V Faded with the moon inlays in very good condition, no gig bag and a SD SD in the bridge. Unfortunately, my room mate knocked it over and put a hairline crack in the back of the headstock. It's too tiny to even repair, and very hard to see, and it's flush. But I still feel responsible to tell buyers about it.

I've seen many of these on Ebay recently (completed) for between 500 and 600 bucks with bag. What do you think this one is?

Hmmm... here's an idea. Go to a luthier, ask what it would cost to glue a headstock back on, divide that by two (because it probably won't break off), and subtract it from $550. Maybe add a gig bag, as well.

*Giggles* Luthier... In West Virginia... *giggles more* Guys around here want 100 bucks to replace pickups.

The first thing I'd do is spread the break as much as possible. Rub some wood glue into it, then use a wet washcloth to wipe the neck down immediately. No need to pay for that, IMO. It does kill the resale value pretty badly. I'd sell it locally to a guy who can see that it has no effect on the guitar.
