Guest MoJo Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Scanning Facebook Marketplace earlier this evening, I spotted a listing titled Squier Jazz Bass. What was pictured was clearly a natural finish Vintage Modified Squier Jazz. The asking price? £100. It was not far from me and I’d always fancied getting my hands on one and changing all the hardware for black items. Then, the kick in the nether regions, ‘Listed over 2 hours ago.’ I gave it a go but sometime later received a two word reply, Pending Collection. No shocker. I bet her inbox was crammed full of ‘Is this still available?’ messages. Gutted, bargain of the year so far. What’s the biggest bargain that’s slipped through your fingers, gear wise?

Maude Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Squier VM Jaguar bass in CAR. Bought new for her son, he'd tried it twice and given up, still had the protective film on pickups and scratchplate. £100 ono including hardcase. I spent ten minutes deciding if I really needed it, then it was gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BreadBin Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 3 guitars, yesterday. I contacted the seller 15 minutes after listing but they were already sold pending collection. An Epiphone SG, a Tanglewood Les Paul (with upgraded pickups) and a nice BC Rich (with Floyd Rose) £30 each. 😐 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudewheresmybass Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I was offered one of the last few deep impacts by the shop I worked in at the time ( late 90’s) for £50, as the owner was considering picking up the remaining stock from the distributor. considering the last one I saw on eBay was listed at 995 I could probably say I missed out royally 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth at least £5-600 😐 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dood Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I saw an old preamp I used to own on eBay. I was tempted to bid on it, but talked myself out of it as I didn't actually need it. It eventually sold for just £108, a fraction of its worth lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggaebass Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) About 2 years ago I bought a fairly cheap 5 string off of an elderly local gentleman who used to play in a blues /country band, he was raising money for his daughter’s wedding, I bought the 5 and he asked me if I wanted a case, i said yes if you have one, he gave me a battered old hard case, to which I asked what used to be in it, he said, his all original 1970 fender jazz which he had since new , that he had sold earlier that day for £1000😲, gutted I didn’t get there earlier Edited January 5, 2021 by Reggaebass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
