Another 'RARE' Gibson bass

I don't know what copy of the blue book he is using, but I'd like to use it to find the value of all of my gear  :rolleyes:  His price is just a little over the top.

An outright liar, and zero feedback to boot!

Offer him 6,000 yen.

Anyone who would tell a brazen lie like "BLUE BOOK $8,000.00!!!" probably already knows that.

I've sent him a question .... "Hi, would you be able to add a photo of a scan from the Blue Book that suggests market value is $8000?"

If this blue book from a parallel universe in fact exists, I shall be entering into early retirement this coming week...

Maybe the listing is a parody.  ;)

That reminds me of John Walkenbach's eBay parody. Ten years old and still funny.

There are now two other white ones on ebay. One is also overpriced, the other no reserve. At least one will sell.

I sold my (only one I've ever seen)factory finished Heather Poly IV for $525, but that was back when there was only the threat of a recession.
