Title: 1957 Gibson price list FS on Reverb
Post by: Dave W on January 22, 2018, 09:08:14 PM

For Sale on Reverb (https://reverb.com/item/9720874-original-1957-gibson-dealer-price-list)

Ridiculous asking price for the item, but there are some pages shown the photos. $235 for the Electric Bass, not including case. That's about $2100 today.

 :mrgreen: Typical music dealer pricing for collectors. Seems to somewhat follow the Les Paul Standard pricing. This actually sold, but I don't know how it works? I guess the listing does'nt reveal a taken lower offer?

Reverb doesn't show if a lower offer was taken. If I log out of Reverb and look at the URL of something I bought with an offer, it will only show the asking price.
