g1hsg Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Given that ParcelFarce are the nominated courier it'll probably arrive in several pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubs Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Do you think the seller know he's just given someone the bargain of the millennium? Crazy, I would have snapped that up if I'd seen it first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smash Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Shame about his other auction, not quite such a bargain...............

finnbass Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 At least half a dozen people, including me, missed that by a few minutes/seconds... [i]*...sigh...*[/i] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 FFS the seller either had no idea of the value or was 'seriously' desperate. Had I seen that I'd have thought 'Nah too good to be true'... and may well have missed the bargain of the decade (if it is genuine ) I can see that back up for sale at x2 x3 the purchase price!

Hamster Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Not being privvy to the esoterica of Warick basses, what would have been a more realistic price for this bass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they were changing hands a couple of years ago for £1000. I'd have bought it sight unseen and without hesitation at anything less than £700... anything more than that and I'd suddenly remember that I don't get on with the hanging position of Thumb basses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finnbass Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 I'm probably a bit tighter than Mr Hunt, but as I've bought a very special '88 NT Thumb and a Ltd Edition Bleached Blonde for £750...each obviously...I would have coughed up £600 sight unseen and not even wanting another Thumb.
