Here is the current auction:

The repair isn't awful, BUT it is interesting how the original jack plate and case have disappeared along the way....
Not for me, unless I knew much more about the repair and how good it was done.

His only real hope is to start it at $300 or less, more like a dollar. Way too many issues to buy at the start price, especially without the jackplate or a case.

Not 100% sure it is the same bass, but sure looks like it could be. The busted up one sold for $800.....so he ain't gonna make a dime if it really is the same one at that price.
Maybe I'm wrong about it's history?
