Let the feeding frenzy begin.
The reserve is already met at under a grand.
Too bad there was routing done for the pickups.

If you only knew this one before it came up on E Bay. With that reserve you could have probably get it for well under $2000...
There are still deals out there on 4xxx series basses, you just have to be in the right place at the right time.

It's a crime that a mud-bucker was put in that poor bass.

Now it's over $2Gs. That didn't take long. I'll bet seller is peeing his pants!

What do you think it will go for?

Do you think its' worth $3G's.

I think so, but that's the top price I'd pay, with all the damage.

Passed three G's now, the seller is probably ordering a Lexus as we watch. Nine + days to go. Yikes!

I emailed the seller. He said he had some appraisals done but didn't expect to have that kind of activity.

Yea, he's down at the dealership now.

That's Marc there as the money lender with private feedback against a newbie who has never bought a thing and doing a good job of driving up the price on the opening day....
I hope Marc has a figure, as it could go for far more than what it's worth at this rate...

And yes, the seller is a very happy guy...
