After 3 and a half weeks, have you decided on an asking price?

Do you have a Vintage Guitar Price Guide? That's probably your best starting point/reference tool. Carefully analyze it for originality (critically important when it comes to figuring price), not all finish wear, checking (if any) etc and factor those in.

In the picture of the side there's some wear - seems like an awful lot for 4 years' use - and what looks like overspray and a rectangular masked area. Is that a weird reflection? And the control plate looks corroded - is that correct or is it a reflection?

Vintage guitar sales normally require fewer closeups - instead, full-size pictures of top, back, each side (and generally the same for the headstock and neck) that can be "zoomed" are much more important - and they need to be in better focus so the finish and condition can be seen clearly. A detailed description really helps as well.

If you don't sell it here Reverb.com seems to be the best site for private party sales, especially with mid-priced vintage pieces like that.

Not very good pictures, they are indicative of the value apparently. A 1970? Hmm.
