Acoustic Bass Valuation

[Bidd]

I was just wondering about my acoustic bass, and the fact that I never play it. Therefore I wish to sell it, but I'm not sure how to value it, because there is an issues wtth it, and the case, that the guy (shop owner) that sold it me couldn't repair

First of all. here it is, with specs

I think he asked £240 for it, but managed to sell it to me for £200 last December, and also a Kinsman Hardcase, that cost about £50

(I think its that one, or very similar)

Anyway, at some point in transit, something happened so that the E & A string were fret buzzing really badly (on first fret), i .e either bridge, or the truss rod have been adjusted by being knocked etc, so that the action has been lowered too much, and as the bridge is not like that of an electric, i do not know how to adjust it

The guy tried to adjust the truss rod. but for some reason he couldn't, didn't have the right allan key i think.

Basically, I ended up putting pieces of card under the saddle at the top of the neck to stop this - i don't gig it ever, just for messing about and quiet practise

Anyway, if i want it fixed, who should i take it too, should i take ot to another shop and ask them to look at it, (I'm based in Durham at the mo, which is different to where i bought it) OR could i sell it as it is, and hope to make at least a decent return on it?
