Value query on Markbass SA450

[Pembo]

Hi all,

Not sure if this is the right thread area, or if it should be posted in Classified area!!

I was chatting to a fellow bassist the other night and suggested that I am considering selling/trading my Markbass SA450. He immediately offered me £350 for it. Given that it's just over 1 year old from new, has never been gigged, used at practice about 10 times and certainly never been driven hard. Is this a reflection of the current value? Any online stores stating to have any in stock are asking £550-£600+ (new/B-stock). What do you think?

Nobody?
Or is it a "I hope he puts it up for £350 in the classifieds thread" type silence

I always reckon (rightly or wrongly...!) on about 60% of the new cost, as a rough guide, and vary from that depending on condition, desirability, rarity etc.

One of these sold on [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/183404-markbass-sa450/"]here[/url] a few months back.

Based on that theory, I suppose £350 is an ok valuation then. I was hoping it would be worth a tad more than that, giving how little I've used it. It would probably carry more purchase on a trade basis.
