If the last 5 that have sold have gone at £550/£600, you are doing yourself no favours putting it out at £750/£800.
I am putting up my Schroeder in the new year (incoming Barefaced). The last two failed to sell at £550 and £500. Mine will go out at £450 including cover.

Agree with this. If I really want to sell I will look at the market and price under to shift things (as I did with a stingray at £450 and a Zon at £1000). If I am not so desperate to sell I will price steeper. The key thing is, I do not have ambitions on making money out of selling basses, I just need to satisfy the demands of what I am doing at the time (which usually means a quick, cheap sale) or turn a little used bass into cash (which translates as a slower, more expensive sale).
I don't give two balls what other people think as it's entirely up to me what I do with my basses. If someone wants to lowball me, go right ahead! I will either go yes if I'm keen to make cash quickly and lose a bit or no if I have no urgency to sell. No offence taken.
My stuff is all priced reasonably after a good bit of research though as I know exactly where my basses stand in the gas-ability spectrum
