Thank goodness it's not just me. I'm not running a business where profit is a factor. 

Me neither. I mentally depreciate anything to zero when I buy it, and just want it gone when deciding to move it on.

 

Guess I'm not destined to be a millionaire.

Best just swerve these tryers. There's a number of regulars on here that are clearly dealers or at least semi-pro buyers and resellers that always have basses sat for years on end. We all know who they are! 

Very true.

 

There's a guy selling an Epiphone Explorer Bass for £550 in the Marketplace, when he brought two Epiphones (Explorer and Thunderbird) for £75. Crazy!

Has that happened on here?

 

I guess you can make your money however you want, but that's properly distasteful. I think the one I had I sold for £150 (after buying it for that price). Capitalism innit.

Unfortunately, yes.

Wow. 

 

I regularly see some of the bedroom dealers in Bristol pickup Facebook bargains cheaply and sell them in the same marketplace sometimes hours after buying them. 

 

It's really classless and a pretty awful business model. But I sometimes write for the *** newspaper, so I don't have a leg to stand on.
