hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 Do I get a prize? ;-) You've reminded me of Bubinga's thread though which no-one will apparently let die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
william64 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I'd say the reasons may vary. For example, if I want to sell my 1965 Precision, I'll consider this option as it's rather difficult to sell such instruments here in the Czech Rep. Also it may be a problem to sell my bass here on BC as you'll want to check a bass before you spend £5000. So I would ask The Gallery, Bass Direct, or Andy for their offers and suggestions. To be honest, I've never done that so I cannot say what would be my final decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassTractor Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 (edited) I feel so stupid. Suddenly it dawned upon me: - "Honey, remember the bass I built myself?" - "Yes, dear..." - "Sold it to BassDirect! Got 300 quid for it. They said it was very playable. You want a trip to France?" - "That's lovely, dear. Congrats! You mean the one that looks exactly like a Fodera Monarch and even has a perfect butterfly inlay in the headstock? That one?..." - "... ..." Edited February 4, 2016 by BassTractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lojo Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Im self employed and during very busy times, paying someone for a service thats easy to do yourself, is cost effective if it can free your mind. I sell a bass through a shop commission sale if the hassle time I expected would be more that the cost of the commission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger2611 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 ooh ooh me.....I think I know who the seller is......it is Jermain Defoe's new personal assistant doing one of the multitude of things requested in his job spec Now, he can afford to take a commission sale and doesn't have to put up with us tramps turning up and upsetting the dog by playing too loud...it all makes sense http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/aug/24/jermain-defoe-personal-assistant-sunderland-stocking-fridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
