Re: Has my Blueridge BR40T turned into a piece of worthless junk?
Put it up for sale here, disclose the bridge issue and see what you can get for it. I would think somebody around here would take the risk to get a tenor at a low price, in the range you hoped to get for it.
If you follow the 2/3 rule, the store might hope to get (2/3)* 700=$466 for it, or about $450 in good shape. To make a profit, they will pay you about 2/3 of that, more or less, so $300, if it's in good shape.
The bridge repair represents a risk, as it may not work out well, but it does cost the shop $100 to do it. Tough situation, and tenor guitars are a bit of rare item, perhaps hard to sell, so that makes matters worse.
Good luck! Try for a private sale with full disclosure of the issues. You could also try your local craigslist or facebook marketplace if you don't want to ship.
