Marky L Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 This fella has caught my eye, but I think it's a bit high on price. Emailed the guy and he is confused as to if it is a 4001 or 4003. A serial number check makes it a 4003. Got a few more pics from him too - [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110286348094&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...E:X:RTQ:GB:1123[/url] Is that an original case too? I have seen some that seem to more "fitted".

Well if it doesn't go, I'll make him a private offer of £750 and negotiate from there!! I'd go to £850 I think dependant on it's wear etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky L Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 Well it didn't sell on the evilbay, so I'll try privately, but what would a fair price be? If it is in very good condition that is. Ta Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd offer him £800 cash on condition you can give the bass a once-over and see what he says Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 The fact that there wasn't a single bit of interest when it was on ebay @ £1000 gives you some fair indication that if the seller was prepared to let it go for £1000 minus any eBay seller or Paypal fees (which would be clocking on toward £80) indicates that they expected/hoped to net about £920 absolute top whack. I'd agree that a no hassle sale of £800 shouldn't be too wide of the mark so I'd be silly and offer £750... though don't try that with me Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
