Ridiculous asking price Yamaha BBN5

This was on eBay about the same time as I had mine (August 2014) and was the same unrealistic asking price then. As soon as the auction ends, it's automatically relisted. Someone should tell the seller that one doesn't arrive at the value of an instrument by adding the retail price of the upgrades to the price of the basic instrument.

I bought a stock BBN5 for £50 a couple of years ago on gumtree and pimped it up nicely with Audere, Bartolinis and Badass bridge, cavities shielding and so on... and it's a great player, all the parts and bass costed me about that - £350 and a couple of days work, I guess this one is worth about £250 tops with the JE preamp and the Ken Smith bridge, but there's always people who are unreasonable - a few days ago there was a listing for a 5.1 Kef surround sound speakers usually sold for about £200 second hand, was on buy it now for £1200 :)...
