jake_tenfloors: I understand what you're pointing out. That is why I'd rather do the trade + cash or whatever. Well, I think posting prices is inevitable so I think about those cash sale prices / prices to to start with in case of trade:
ESP: £600
Warmoth: £350 ... And I won't go any lower with that Warmoth!
thepurpleblob: My ESP has "ESP Custom Guitars" sticker on back of the headstock. I don't think it means "real" custom shop, though. It is just one really cool MIJ jazz bass on steroids.
