Pricing help? Yamaha BB5000A

[SICbass]

Hello folks,

this is my first attempt at this, so please be gentle with me. I know that starting bidding for gear isn't allowed, but I have a Yammy BB5000A 5-string that I want to sell and have no clue what it's worth and the span of prices I've seen is pretty broad. So, I'm looking for tips from any of you experts out there as to what I should put it up for over at the Basses for Sale part of the site.

I bought it new in 1990, so, according to the serial No. on it (and the "The Guitar dater Project") PL 22072, it was built May 22nd (don't ask me how they new the precise date??) 1989 with the unit number 072.
It's a Made in Taiwan jobby, strung E-C at present, with the narrow neck: 36mm (from E-string to C-string) at the nut and 60mm at the bridge.

I gigged it in the early 90's, hence "that worn-in look", strung B-G, and didn't then touch it for years. I got it set-up and re-strung E-C about a year ago with the intention of trying some new stuff which I never got around to.

OK, enough blah, blah, here are the pics. I'd be grateful of any advice as to what she's worth.

Cheers,
Paul

p.s. sorry if this is too many pics, just wanted to be sure and expose all blemishes.
