TRBboy Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Hey guys, just wondered if anyone knows whether Mark buys used basses, or just does part-ex? He's not open again til Tuesday, but I'm itching to know! Any excuse for a trip up there! . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truckstop Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I believe he does commission sales; not sure if he actually buys used basses? Truckstop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Most of the specialist dealers will sell on commission - rates average around 17.5% depending on value, whether final sale is on credit card, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanA Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Mark will sell your bass on a commision sale, he as sold several for me over the last couple of years. He gets a lot of hits on the website so if it is a good bass at the right kind of money it should move fairly quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Thanks, I might give him a call if my bass doesn't sell fairly quickly on here. What sort of time frame have you found it takes to move a bass?

IanA Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Depends on the bass, my Warwick took about 2 months, stingray 5 about a month, sandberg jj5 a couple of days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime_BASS Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I did ask about credit for sort of trading in. He seemed ok with it, was 2 years ago mind, no harm in sending a cheeky email he is fairly quick to reply. I even get replies from him on days the shop is closed, top bloke.
