Ibanez BTB1605-DTF Gift Horse?

[Guest MoJo]

I've been offered an Ibanez BTB1605 DTF (pictured above) for £550. I played it today and it is unmarked, like new, in it's original case. I see that they currently retail for more than £1200 new. Am I missing something? Is this the bargain that it appears to be or has the bottom fallen out of the Ibanez Premium bass resale value?

If it ain't been half-inched I'd get it home!

Still a bargain at £550 in the condition you describe! Well done!

Even if you don't like it you should be able to shift at a profit.

It is the same model but in the latest 'DTF' (Deep Twilight Flat) finish. Guitar Guitar, GAK and Richtone all have the BTB1605DTF listed at £1239 so I thought I'd got a stonking deal. £550 is still a good deal but not quite the killer deal I thought I got whilst DV247 are selling them at that price
