Marion, I'm afraid the market for used Japanese Classics is VERY low these days. You probably wouldn't be offered more than a hundred dollars, Canadian (if that) simply because good new Korean and Taiwanese ones can be had so cheaply. That's probably the reason that many would tell you to keep it. When guitars were not so available a commodity, they kept their value better. Today even a used Ramirez sells for less than it's original price. Vintage Gibson and Martin steel strings often appreciate in value, but rarely ANY classical. Serious players seem to want new ones (custom built at that) and hobbyists can get brands they've heard of (Aria, Takamine, Yamaha) very cheaply.
