grimbeaver Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 I have a mint EB MM sterling 4 in blue and a guy wants to swap so I could do with an idea on how the money will work out, I was guessing at £700 for the MM and £450 for the $$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I withdrew it in the end, as it was too derpressing to sell at any lower than that! Its a buyers market for Warwicks at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreeneKing Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I think maybe £700 for a Sterling, albeit mint is a little high. Mint Ray's are struggling at £650 at the mo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutToPlayJazz Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 (edited) Those who have mentioned £450 are in the right ballpark. I just sold one for a similar amount. We're in a depressed market at the moment and both Warwicks & MusicMan basses are suffering value wise, amongst other mass produced items. We all like to think we can get the same high prices as before, but we all have to accept that things are worth what you can get for them.

I've been missing it since I sold it to Nottswarwick last year - and have ended up buying one pretty much identical! Assuming the deal all goes through smoothly, I'll bring it to the Notts Bash!
