Ghost Rider Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 Am I missing something here? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Road-Worn-Jazz-Bass/263436801337?hash=item3d560e9539:g:~NwAAOSwWHBZ61~U or https://www.gak.co.uk/en/fender-road-worn-60s-jazz-bass-3-colour-sunburst-rosewood/19359 Quote
dannybuoy Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 I like how he lists the fact the strings have never been changed as a positive! Quote
FinnDave Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 I bought a new roadworn Precision recently and change the strings within ten minutes of it arriving. I've obviously destroyed my investment! Quote
karlfer Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 He's a bit strange this 'un. Apart from being deluded about the value of it, his tactics are strange. It was up twice at £1500, then a couple of times at £1100, then three times at £950. Obviously he's had no bids. So, no bids at £950 (at least £150 more than they are going for), think I'll put it out at £2k Think I'll put my Am Deluxe out at £1500 Quote
discreet Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) Maybe he just isn't aware of the new price? You'd have to be a knob to sell something without researching what it's worth, though... Edited January 15, 2018 by discreet Quote

I'm getting 'Richard' instead. Come on, really. What if someone's name is 'Richard' but they prefer to be called 'D i c k'? The profanity filter on this site really is set to toddler levels, it's embarrassing! Edited January 15, 2018 by discreet Quote
FinnDave Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) What about tricky dicky Nixon? (edit: Got away with that one then!) Edited January 15, 2018 by FinnDave Quote

Thhppppppp! Thhhhhhpppppp!!! Yeah tricky Richard doesn't have the same ring, somehow, and 'Tricky Dicky' is how he's gone down in history (if we can still say 'gone down'!) Quote

fretmeister Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 2 options I can see. 1: He thinks because it will be a rosewood board the value will go up. 2: He doesn't want to sell but he wants his wife to think that he is trying to sell it. This is a useful tactic. Ahem. Quote
