What am I missing.

Reverb feed, Gillett slimline contour comes up, looks interesting, I could probably be tempted by the right electro acoustic fretless, excellent condition. 
 

But it’s a chunk more than it would cost new? (£1,199 direct from them but that’s, what, £50 savings). 
 

What am I missing? Cutting the waiting list build time?!

 

MYSTERIOUS PRICING POLICY

Seller just trying their luck I reckon. They do have a bit of a 'reputation'.

I've seen similar on Reverb and ebay.

Just last week someone was selling a pedal for £125 plus postage. It's £89 brand new on line.

They offered me a discounted price of £108 so naturally I declined, pointing out that it was cheaper brand new elsewhere.

I really don't understand why some 'shops' do this but it seems to be quite common...
