What would one expect to pay for a PMC nowadays?

Elderly sold one for $2400 back in January. It was on their site for a couple of months I think. I called them to buy it, but it was gone...

Yep, I have a feeling it will take a while. I guess the hunt is half the fun and I'm pretty patient.
Jake,
Yes, I have shoulder problems from when I had my lung removed, due to lung cancer. They gave me an antibiotic from the Cipro family that causes severe tendon damage in some people. Remember ...

...at least a lefty 4001V63 or C64. Since I started gassing for one of these, two have come up up for sale on dealers sites and were gone by the time I found them. There's one on hold in England but I'm sure it will be paid for and gone also. I should have bought this one that was on ebay a while ...

I grew up in Fort Worth and never missed a Dallas or Arlington show till I moved to Seattle in '97. I also try to schedule my visits back home around show time if possible. Regardless, that is one beautiful bass! Very cool..Thanks for sharing

John,
That is the most beautiful (lefty) 4001 I've ever seen. I will gladly trade you any part of my anatomy for it, left arm, kidney...you get the picture. Man, I would love to own that one! How long have you had it? And if you don't mind sharing, where did you get it?
Thanks,
Rick

Hi Jeff,
Yep, per the Rickenbacker site its a Feb. '94 manufacture date...It also sounds great!

Hi Paul,
I loaded the big pics to my Photobucket account. If you need any different shots, just let me know. I still didn't get the email from the Rickenbacker guys yet. If anyone has any inside contacts I'd be happy to provide the serial number..actually, it's in one these pics on the Photobucket ...

As a follow up to this, I just got off the phone with Richard at Rickenbacker customer service. I had sent him the ****** ebay pics and serial number about a week ago. He said he thought they had answered the email but I didn't ever receive it. Anyway, he said it was a special built instrument and ...

Hi Guys,
You may remember this one being discussed in the Marketplace/eBay sightings about a week ago. The consensus then was that it was real and aceonbass had seen a righty model. I received the bass today and I think it's the real thing. I'm not a Rickenbacker expert but I've sure looked at a lot ...

Thanks for the input guys. Here's another weird thing. I heard back from the guys and he says the scale is 33 inches?? If you closely at the pics, the bridge pickup is moved forward of where a standard one is as well as the bridge being moved up??? Maybe they moved the bridge up to compensate for ...

Thanks Ted...I've been kinda freaking out about it since I read that post....

Hi,
Thanks for the input. Does anyone here think it's fake? I posted about it on another forum and someone said it was a made over, regular 4003.. Anyone see anything that makes them suspicious? I haven't paid yet..
Thanks again,
Rick

Thanks! Yep, I hit the buy it now button...Thanks for any input!

Hi guys,
I've been looking for lefty Ric. I posted in the "Wanted" section and Aceonbass was kind enough to point this one out... http://cgi.ebay.com/Rickenbacker-bass-4003s-left-handed-custom-short-scale_W0QQitemZ300298502484QQihZ020QQcategoryZ155300QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem I emailed ...
