Another waste of a listing fee

I've had Big Jon breath on a number of my basses, and each has risen 50% in value instantly. At times when I've not been able to see Big Jon in person, I have him talk to the bass over the phone, and that adds 25%.

On a similar note, I'm fairly sure I saw this second hand Marcus Miller listed around £700 earlier this week, which I thought was rather optimistic itself, but now, well see for yourself:

Nothing to do wth 'Big Jon' though afaik, whoever the hell he is?


[b]EDIT: I've just read the listing properly and it's cos he's actually already sold the bass, which somewhat astounds me anyway![/b]

Also, how on earth is that colour any kind of burst?

Err...I didn't want to say, but my sentiments entirely. :)

But,you can't put a price on Big Jon's ownership-if anything it's much too cheap.

Oh god, you didn't did you? That's torn it. Big Jon will be coming round to yours now to punch your head in. 'Cos he can do that sort of thing, you know. 'Cos he's a legend. And Big. And he has underpants.
Run, run away now, while you still have the chance.

Did you get a reply on this? I'm just fascinated to know why he thinks his bass is worth more than a new one, even with the Big Jon connection.
