W1_Pro Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) Evening all, been following this on eBay. [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272548768270?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT"]http://www.ebay.co.u...K%3AMEBIDX%3AIT[/url] I must say the price is looking very healthy at the mo for the seller. Is this bass a supernatural? Looks more like a Roadie IIa to me- I admit I'm no expert, but paying £1200 notes plus, for a bass that if it is, is on the Jaydee website at £1455 brand new....well thats nuts isnt it?

TheGreek Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Check the back of the headstock pic - states quite clearly what the bass is...good to see that it's selling for a price which acknowledges it's true value. I sold mine for a pittance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W1_Pro Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 Ha! That'll teach me to stick my head above the parapet. The old 'name on the back of the headstock' pic. Don't I just feel a fool. Thanks for the correction Mick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maz LFC Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 The Roadie is a Supernatural. The JayDee website states that the only Supernatural to have a black fronted headstock is the Roadie. The one on eBay was a Roadie Active which sells for £1455 new as W1 Pro said in the first post. Whoever won it at £1200 clearly had not done their homework and thought it was a full-blown Supernatural. I almost bid on myself and contacted the seller, but luckily he turned down the offer I made before doing the research that I should have done first. He hadn't done anything wrong,just failed to state that it was a Roadie, which he must have known as he bought it new in 1999. Bet he's laughing his head off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maz LFC Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 The seller messaged me today. It was won by a Ukelele dealer in Yorkshire who has failed to pay for it He asked if I was still interested. I declined, being very glad he didn't take me up on the £1k I offered originally.I told him why, as it is a Roadie and as such far too expensive. I've checked and the dearest Roadie of the 4 sold on eBay last year was £720. One only made £521 and a Series 2 Supernatural in lovely nick made £1119.(bargain).

[/quote] The seller must be gutted, he must have thought he was on to a proper result. Those prices for secondhand Jaydee's sound about right to me- and as I said earlier I'm no expert- I would love to get my hands on a proper supernatural.

Maz LFC Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Relisted ! Buyer obviously didn't pay, but I wonder what happened to all the "second chance" offers ? Perhaps everybody sussed it out in the end. Still no mention of "Roadie" in the listing, so it may happen all over again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Now has a reserve set on it - I bid £325 but didn't hit the reserve. Be interesting to see what it is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shabbs Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Perhaps no 2nd chance offers because he's bidding with a second account? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Controversial.....I have to say though, that bit in the listing about 'checking notes with a scanner' is a bit mental. I'm sure buying secondhand basses is not organised crimes route of choice for passing counterfeit cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W1_Pro Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 £811 with an hour to go. Thats me out.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maz LFC Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 It made £871 and again the buyer has backed out :rolleyes:He just messaged me again to offer it to me for £800. Don't know what happened to 2nd chance this time ? I respectfully declined again, pointing out that if the sale had gone through, he would have ended up with £784. The original Case is absent too. It came with a Hiscox when new ? Waiting to see if it's relisted again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W1_Pro Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 Also, it's worth noting that unless you are somewhere near Altrincham, he seems pretty set on collection only, which is a right pain, and should thusly be reflected in the price.
