AndyTravis Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Forgot to say a massive “thank you” to @Ricky Rioli for posting that link - the red Bb424x is what I’ve been chasing. Now… White Pearl is a maybe…but a dark red tort might be amazing on it… 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munurmunuh Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 This question doesn't belong here, but I wanted to ask it in a discreet corner. My previous Yamaha has just arrived at B@ss D¹rect. I'm surprised by how much they think its worth, and am just curious to know how they usually play things: price it high and wait patiently for someone to pay that? price it high and then offer cheeky discounts to enthuse potential buyers? start the price high and steadily lower it until it finds a buyer?

I've sold about a dozen instruments over the years through them. Price high and drop over time if no interest. Not sure about post Brexit, but most of the sales went to Europe. If it's in good condition, 75% of new price isn't out of the question, minus their commission. I've sold one at full retail price after owning for 4 years, they were still available new too. Totally depends on brand and popularity though. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
