NOS 20/20 on the bay

[Grog]

Sounds great Rob!! Those paddles are going up in value as we speak......

Henry, if you're listening, you have four years to prepare yourself for the 20/20 reissue............

A 2020 20/20 reissue only seems logical. Make it Bluetooth or something so it doesn't sell again..........

You mean it's worth sawing that into a 20/20 and then you're all set? Where is Scott/God of Thunder and Rock'n'Rochester when you need him?

What's your point? That's a flat shipping cost the seller chose, it has nothing to do with the actual cost of shipping. If he sells it with free shipping, you surely don't think UPS will let him ship it for free.

Here's the actual cost to ship a bass and case weighing 15 lb. from my Twin Cities zip code to commercial address in an Atlanta zip code, in a 52x21x7 box (the box my SG Faded with hard case came in):

UPS 45.64
Fedex 39.04
USPS 34.01

In all three cases, the weight is upped based on the size of the box, e.g. UPS charges a 47 lb. rate for this size box.

Smallest bass box I have is 51x16x5, that's for a short scale bass with a gig bag. That would still be 27.25 UPS to a commercial address in Atlanta, charged as 25 lbs. It would still be 34.01 by USPS.

Im not even remotely concerned with the cost of shipping a bass at the moment...but you picked Atlanta as your proposed location and I haven't been back to Minnesota in a couple years so Ill pick a few other items to fill your proposed box with and we can test the rates.

Ill start with a 16x24 souffle cake from the Wuollet bakery, some overpriced Tomato soup from Byerlys, a large Cariboo coffee, a taco wrap from Maynards on lake Minnetonka, a pair of Juicy Lucys from Matts and a watered down cocktail from Nyes Polonaise Room.  If there's any room in the box after that just fill the rest with some crumpled up Star Tribunes or menus from The Gay 90s.   Ah, home sweet home.

That should roughly approximate the weight of a 20/20. Head to the nearest Fedex Store and send it down, post a copy of the receipt and we can settle this dispute once and for all.

I picked Atlanta b/c that's where Tom (nofi) lives.

Nye's will be closing early next year to make room for a high rise.   

Matt's is still going strong. Blue Door Pub is better. They make Blucys.

Nye's is closing?!?! That place should be a historic landmark.  And just when I thought live Polka Bands were poised to make a comeback..

Live polka bands never went away, especially in this part of town.

It's up to just over $733.00 with three days to go. Any bets on how high it will go? My Spidy senses tell me it will at least triple what it is now. Place your bets!

[Dave W]

That wouldn't surprise me. I'd guess at least $1500.

[uwe]

Oh my, my 20/20 has then just morphed into a profitable investment!!!

Maybe, we'll see. Still at $760 with 11 hours left but I do expect it to jump way up at the end. Didn't the last one fetch about $1200?

[Grog]

The last one I remember selling, had the leg rest missing & went for over $2,000.00. The JMJ 20/20 went for just over $1,200.00.

[neepheid]

Well sod that, I'm not that interested!  And still didn't trigger the reserve

I see it's back up already, I wonder if the seller lowered the reserve.

[Dave W]

Ended at $1725, reserve not met.
