It looks nice but is it worth this much?

[Ou7shined]

Big John must have told him to do it.

[Mr. Foxen]

Suppose if someone really wanted one, they'd have trouble finding one. Nice spelling too.

[Delberthot]

I believe that Big John's uncle has had it in his loft since new.

[Stingray5]

Aaaargh! Someone else who doesn't know the difference between 'brought' and 'bought'!
As far as the bass goes, it does look in good nick -- but £750? I'd say a tad optimistic, sir.

And along comes another one at (currently) less than 1/7th of the price.

This is PJ, rather than double P though.

Average going rate for a II/IIA currently seems to be around 250-350, depending, so if this ends below 200, it'll be even more of a bargain. Mind you, still 6 days to go...

Actually, that Kay looks pretty good for 30 years old. Thru-neck with a brass nut and bridge, too. If it's all working as stated, somebody could be getting a bargain here too. I wonder if the moggy is included!
IIRC, someone had a Kay for sale at last years SEBB

[Annoying Twit]

I do like the look of the Kay.

I don't remember seeing any Thunder IIs selling. But the only completed listing on ebay was a sale for £218 for a black fretless one. I'll be watching and learning for this one.

Yeah, if I recall, that was the later and plainer looking Thunder II; the seller put that up twice for £295 BIN then ran it as a regular auction.

That Kay is Fkin gorgeous. But its up to 128 quid now, no bargains to be had here!

It finished at £131.66! That's got to be a complete steal of a bargain.
