Jobiebass Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Music-Man-Stingray-30th-Anniversary-FREE-UK-POSTAGE_W0QQitemZ270255282570QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item270255282570&_trksid=p3286.m14.l1308"]Ebay link[/url] Chipped and marked, and with 4 days left its over what id have paid for it. If you look closely though, bidder 2 pushed bidder 1 out of his price bracket, and now just pushed bidder 4 out. I hate when you cant see whos bid cause you know something dodgy is going off, Plus bidder 2 has only had his account less then a month. Ill put money on bidder2 is the seller, looks like he maxed out bidder4's bid then will offer 2nd chance offer on it if noone goes over what hes bid. Annoys me.

josh3184 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 (edited) Nah I think you're right there. Way to milk the market Edited July 16, 2008 by josh3184 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 (edited) thats a gorgeous bass. i hope that for once a stingray might actually be selling for what its worth, but ye seems a bit dodgy edit actually i dont understand what you mean, bidder 2 bidded on 14th july, bidder 3 and 4 have both bid since then, but have not beaten bidder 2's maximum? bidder 2 has only bid once Edited July 16, 2008 by BassManKev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayfan Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I don't know if he's making that money on it. I looked at an identical one in the Guitar Center in Orlando last month. It was marked up as $1800 but the absolute lowest he'd go was $1300 + tax (£700ish). Lovely bass. I loved the stained neck and headstock. Couldn't justify the cash at the time though.

budget bassist Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I think you guys are being a bit harsh on him, people do after all outbid peple on ebay, it's the general idea. Considering they're expensive basses off the bat combined with the fact that that's probably the second one i've ever seen on ebay and that i've NEVER seen one in real life i think it could well reach £1000 if it was in good condition.

SJA Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 is it just the way the pic looks, or is the nut scalloped in some way? maybe a Buzz Feiten compensating nut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Cougar Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 we've had at least 2 of these go on sale through here and didn't Tombboy sell his, not seen him in a while. I think £900 is solid price for one of these they are the balls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Cougar Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 (edited) And if you don't like them they are so heavy you could sell it to the US Navy as an anchor for an aircraft carrier. Edited July 17, 2008 by Mr Cougar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombboy Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Still around Mr C! Yeah, sold mine a few months ago to Graeme who I think still has the original erection!!! Regret the sale but glad it's being loved. There is a '77 natural 'B00' on the uk bay finishing tonight.... just £800 at the mo. If it stays under a grand I might be tempted!!
