I'm not feeling it.

So there's this

Harley Benton PB 50. Apparently relic'ed - looks like some random paint chipping to me. I'm really not getting his pricing strategy. It's BIN at £115 plus a P&P cost of £18.99.

A new one from Thoman at todays exchange rate is £93.60 plus £10 delivery.

So thats a premium of about thirty quid over a new bass.
Have I missed something?

TBF it does come with D'addario Chromes [b]which are ~£30+[/b]

He also says he has removed the top layer of varnish, can't see it in the photos but they could be poor photos.

Not if they were supplied as standard. There's a B stock one on Thomann now, £85
