J66Bass

Ok thanks Thanks all the answers, I have checked everything and he now seems legitimate, thanks for all the answers. I somehow felt a tad nervous, probably because I haven’t sold a Bass on Fb for a while , thanks all the support I needed it , probably my age too , thanks again JM

Hello I’m not sure if my buyer is legitimate, he asked me to

put some deposit on my PayPal and should pick up the bass on Friday , my question is simply if we do friend only and I received the money deposit tonight, can he cancel the payment ? Thanks I’m not sure what to do , I somehow have a bad feeling about it it’s a buyer from Fb thanks

Do you know if the neck is drop-in Fender fit?

I guess yes 

Hello , I honestly have no glue, which fender ? I could check it out, but I don’t want to remove as it’s fully set up , I have a Jazz  custom, precision US And Mex , do they have all the same pocket drop in measure ? Thanks 

Still for sale , I believe the price is right, fully set up , originally mounted with di marzio pickup ,the price included Fully insured UK only postage..

I'd say the majority of private sales are overpriced with a story to match 

it gets a bit  tiring "anyone looking will know how good these are " "rare" " sought after "   . etc etc 

If someone really wants the bass you may get that high price but if i'm selling,i want it gone at a fair price 

Definitely agree

Oddly, I have a bunch of basses that I'm going to sell and I'll likely get a better price and a quicker sale if I put them up for a commission sale with BD<> BB<> BG or similar.  Folks will pay the shop their commission (+VAT I expect) sooner than buy from me for considerably less.  It may be more convenient from a shop (not sure about warranty on used instruments bought via commission sales) but I assure you it'd be the same instrument... just more expensive!     

Thanks for that answer, I understand exactly what you are saying 😊

I normally wouldn't be bothered but I must admit I recently saw a very nice bass on here 2nd hand and the seller said he was selling for what he paid from BD 2nd hand plus setup costs and tbh I did think hmm that's not how it works is it ? I did seem like a fair price though and you can charge what you want but I wouldn't have put that in the ad!!

Ok thanks for your reply 😊

Im nit really sure what youre saying, but i am currently selling a couple.of basses through a commission sale because the hassle of selling, to me, is almost not worth it.

 

Theyll deal with any issues, be able to reach a far bigger audience, command a higher price and deal with shipping, so the percentage they take is worth it to me.

Definitely worth to consider that option 😊

Thanks all , some very interesting and different point of view .I’m glad about reading and get some positive thoughts

An item will either sell or it will not.

 

The only issue for me is whether I personally am happy to pay the price advertised by whoever is selling - be that private or business. 

If I like the thing and am happy to pay the price - wonderful. If I think it is overpriced then I don't buy it.

 

I see no benefit in thinking about it more than that. I've got better uses of my time. Like practising my scales.... [Might not be true]

Ok thanks for that answer 😊

Does we and some confound the price against professionals sale price for private sale , while professional shop offer warranty paid Vat /rent etc some private sale seriously could be seriously inflated, it’s that worth it anymore? Not sure for some Basses , what are you thought?
