Yo y'all,
Got this here bass that I'm selling, easier if I give you the eBay listing for details:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Warwick-Co...item4abceeb0b7
Based in Preston Lancs. There's another one going for like £845 on the 'bay, I don't think that's realistic, I'd be after £700 or nearish offer (very open to negotiation).
I'd also be after trades for a real nice five string bass. Has to be five, apart from that it's pretty much WHY.
Let me know! :)
Maybe you should look at "Completed listings" for a more realistic price.Quote:

Ouch! That's some depreciation there!
With respect, do I come into your for sale threads and rubbish your evaluations based on the starting prices of items that haven't even sold? No, I fucking don't. So kindly butt the fuck out.Quote:

Well no you wouldnt because I price my sales after some research.Quote:

No problem.Quote:

Yeah, fair enough, I'm not some smartarse who goes scouring niche forums for six-month-old threads so my evaluation might be optimistic, but If you're suggesting I'm dishonest you can get fucked.
If you want to take my advice like that then go right ahead.Quote:

Why, how would you take someone going out of their way to find examples of what you're selling going (or not) for half your opening offer then accusing you of trying to rip people off?
Anyway, I'm just gonna repost this.Quote:

As I said I'm very open to negotiation. The bass is exactly as advertised in the listing. I'm not trying to rip anyone off, despite what some people have the gall to claim.
Thanks.

I certainly wouldn't cuss out at the person who pointed out the revaluation. That would just look bad to prospective buyers.
Of course your question rhetorical as I always do my research beforehand.
I never said you were ripping anyone off. But I would be mighty pissed if I bought it at your price then come to find it was worth almost half. Hence the phrase "unwitting".
As I said before, good luck!
