Pembo Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) Hi all, Not sure if this is the right thread area, or if it should be posted in Classified area!! I was chatting to a fellow bassist the other night and suggested that I am considering selling/trading my Markbass SA450. He immediately offered me £350 for it. Given that it's just over 1 year old from new, has never been gigged, used at practice about 10 times and certainly never been driven hard. Is this a reflection of the current value? Any online stores stating to have any in stock are asking £550-£600+ (new/B-stock). What do you think? Edited May 18, 2013 by Pembo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pembo Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 Nobody? Or is it a "I hope he puts it up for £350 in the classifieds thread" type silence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkin Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 I always reckon (rightly or wrongly...!) on about 60% of the new cost, as a rough guide, and vary from that depending on condition, desirability, rarity etc. One of these sold on [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/183404-markbass-sa450/"]here[/url] a few months back.

Pembo Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 Based on that theory, I suppose £350 is an ok valuation then. I was hoping it would be worth a tad more than that, giving how little I've used it. It would probably carry more purchase on a trade basis.
