Patrick Eggle Milan value?

[rubis]

Hi everyone,
I have a Patrick Eggle Milan bass which I need to sell to fund a bass build project. Its a 1993 model in natural swampash with two Kent Armstrong soapbars, the electronics have been upgraded to Kent Armstrong 3 band eq. I appreciate they are very rare and as such dont come up for sale very often, but does anyone have any idea what its worth these days.
There are two identical ones for sale on US ebay at the moment, they are the other model with passive eq and set neck, the used one is @£500 and the other says "new" (??????) and is, I think @£1500

any comments or advice most welcome

I had a Milan V about 17/18 years back. It was blue. was a nice bass as I remember. I bought it new from Rainbow music in Edinburgh now long gone.
Sorry can't remember what what I bought or sold it for, I think I paid about £1k and sold it for about £600 to fund a Ray 5.

Nice basses though, extremely well made.
