Mike Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Darn...I've got to say, I was trying to keep it in the "BC Spirit" (Am the only idiot who believes in this??) to sell it for a really decent price when I could have got more for it - bit of a shame to see this, really.

Toasted Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 (edited) With the amount you complain about other people's prices in for sale threads, this one represents true comedy gold. If you're serious about want to sell, I'll pay the price you paid and not a penny more. Edited April 24, 2008 by Toasted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MythSte Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 My only suggestion would be that if you think you can get mroe money on ebay for it, then thats exactly what you should do.

Jono Bolton Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Is it ever possible to know what you'll get for something on ebay? I don't think anyone on here will give you more than what you paid for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Market forces will dictate whether or not it will sell. Although I don't think it was wise to try to use the "stay in the community" line whilst doing so.

LukeFRC Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 If I bought something off someone here a few years back for 700 and in the mean time the market for that brand had dropped so they were going for 500. To keep it in the 'community spirit' would you still pay me 700 for it? If you wanted to buy my bass I would want more than the value i payed for it, not as it is worth more generally but as it is worth more to me. I would say that Kev can decide how much its worth to him. If you make him an offer and he says he wants more then form your own opinion on the fella and how he enters into community.

kevbass Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I hope this thread doesnt get out of hand like others have when it comes to how much somebody should sell something for. The bass belongs to Kev and as such he can sell it for however much he wants and if someones willing to pay the asking amount then fair enough. But I do think profiteering (spelling?) doesnt do anything for the spirit of the basschat community and I cant see it selling for more than it was paid for by Kev. I recommend it goes on the bay if you hope to make a bit extra. Good luck with the sale it s a funky looking bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBod Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Just my thoughts...but buying something for a "good price" here, and then putting it up again at a profit (with presumably little addition or improvement?) in a short time is bound to upset a few people, especially the original seller. I look on this site as one for enthusiasts, and trading gear is about trying out stuff or getting hard to find things from like minded people who know what they're talking about. The real benefit is learning from others, and not having to always pay "retail" mark ups just to try out something different. If you're after top dollar, then try your luck on EvilBay, and deal with the great bargain hunting uninformed - I'd much rather take less for my stuff, but deal with people who know what they want and will enjoy using it. Maybe I shouldn't think so much... BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MythSte Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 BassBod i know exactly what you mean, Ive wanted a bongo sinse i started playing bass all those years ago, and i got a cracking deal on it here, almost half the RRP, But ive recently discovered its not the bass i thought it would be! No worries, Ill move it on here, not lose any cash, maybe make a trade yaknow! If id have bought it new, then moved it on either on here or on ebay man, would i be sore!

Davetbass Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Cracking looking bass Kev..... If your next bass is more expensive than this one is worth you could always get a job to make up the difference!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 What irks me somewhat is that when I listed several basses a while ago, Kev missed getting one or two of them due to late PMs and they going quickly (as I think I had priced them extremely competively) and he sent me grumbling messages about how he never gets the good deals etc, and practically forced me to PM the seller to ask him to change his mind! When he leapt on this one I sold, he seemed genuinely delighted - it's a shame it hasn't worked out for him, but I also think it's a shame that a profit is being made. Saying that, I have a Ken Smith I got a cracking deal on (not in this, or the BT & BW communities) that frankly I couldn't sell for what I got it for, so I suppose we might all be guilty of it. If I were in a high-powered job, and money not an issue, I'd love to be in a position to give someone a great deal. Unfortunately, as a struggling musician & music teacher with a mortgage, I can't do that. However, I'm happy to take a slight hit to be able to sell a bass at a decent price to keep this great sale forum alive - with the added bonus of shifting one's gear promptly!
