Deedee Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Saw this bass yesterday on the Aria thread on TB. Certainly works as a method of getting your ad noticed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binky_bass Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 He's looking for around £500 for it. I would say in this condition it's worth £200-£250 max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundfreedom Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 £150 postage. I'd want the bass for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binky_bass Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Not sure that's the price that'll be charged, also not sure advertising it at £12,000 is a remotely intelligent way of trying to sell a bass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 This popped up earlier this week on one of the vintage MIJ FB groups - the guy had just picked it up & was looking for an ID and info. Didn't say what he'd paid but the bass was in a state (it still is) and seemed to be a car boot/small ads blag. He probably gave someone about £30 for it. Chancers like this really f*ck me off.

Agreed. Someone has told him they're rare and so now thinks it's worth a fortune. Rare doesn't necessarily equal sought after or valuable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 I hope he has it on one of those eBay offers where you just pay a £1 in fees if it sells.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Thing is, it is quite a sought-after bass amongst Aria/MIJ aficionados, I've always had a bit of GAS for one myself. An immaculate example might nudge towards 4 figures, but the problem is, this is a fixer-upper missing irreplaceable original parts. In this condition (assuming there's no structural damage) is probably good for about £200 - £250 to someone into these things. To me (having done plenty of car-boot gyppo-flipping in the past) that would be an excellent profit on something I picked up for buttons.

ezbass Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Some clever, reverse marketing there, I mean, we have all had a look. It’s a rather nice thing to my eyes, not that I’ll be bidding mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemmywinks Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Surprised none of you have made the trip down to Cockburnspath to have a look at it and make him an offer............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Didn't even spot his location. All the more annoying that this must've turned up just a few miles down the A1 from me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
