You'd never really know if this was happening on Ebay though, only because of the presence of an online community here is it really possible to keep track of your departed gear. I sold a MIM jazz bass on Ebay a couple of years ago, I later realised the sentimental value of it & I'd love to know purely out of interest where it is now
I always put gear on here first before heading to Ebay. Saying that though there have been times when I have ended up with a lot better results on Ebay. For example I listed a Warwick Rockbass here for £160 or so that didn't budge for a couple of weeks, I put it on the bay with a starting price of £150 & it went for some thing like £230!
When the MIM jazz went on I had a very rude lady messaging me repeatedly offering half the starting price, she then started bidding last min, I prayed she wouldn't get it! Luckily she didn't & it went off to a nice bloke in Cornwall.
