Tokai Jazz sound

[vintage_ben]

So a Tokai Jazz sound sold on Ebay for £508 on the 5th of March. The buyer then sold it on the 18th of April for £446. Maybe it's just me but this seems a little odd. £500+ is top dollar for one of these. I would have thought that to pay that you would really have to be after this particular model (maybe a Tokai enthusiast or collector) and pretty much know what you were getting. Given that it seems unusual to keep it for a couple of months and sell it on at a loss.

he bought it and turned up and was full of deadspots? sell it on and it's ebay so risk of a loss.
There are folk on here who buy new and then sell at secondhand price in a few months!

Yes, it's normal on here! I don't think there's anything sinister about it.

ah still need to get back to you about the red one- currently pulling all nighters for uni....

Sorry Luke, that wasn't a hint, just a notice to folk that, just like Fender, some were amazing players! and some were not! I've had enough of both now to know that.
