I've been trying to work out roughly what my guitar might be worth and the serial number doesn't seem to be recognised.

Its a Squier Strat affinity series and I think it was bought around 1996/97. It says crafted in China and the serial number begins CY9806 - but this doesn't come up anywhere ?

It's probably worth about $50-$70 less than it originally sold for, maybe $175 in primo condition.
These are entry-level student guitars and not investment pieces.

If the serial is CY+eight digits, the first digit is the buil year. That would make it a 1999ish C for China, Y for Yako factory guitar. And Chinese serial numbers aren't anywhere near comprehensively covered with Fender's database. Could also be a 'pack' guitar, which originally came with an amp, strap, picks, cable, pouch etc.

CB above is right about the price, but don't let the monetary value fool you. They're nice guitars, when set up properly.
