Drooool....

There's always my daughter's college fund

Just noticed that there's 25 days and 23 hours left on the auction!? Please, are you kidding me?

Link is for an EB-3 RI. I think I've been watching that EB0. It's been up twice this year already with no bites.

Lightyear · July 03, 2009, 10:33:34 AM

Fixed it

My apologies for the lapse

Still - I just don't see it being worth 5K - at least to me

I think this is an eBay store item, not a regular auction, that's why the long "auction" period.

I can't recall seeing one sell for anywhere near this much, even in much better shape.

This one looked decent despite the headstock crack, and went for ~2500:

That's more in line with the few I've seen in the past couple of years.

Around 3000$ is the figure I've seen mostly.

Dave W · July 03, 2009, 10:38:44 PM

I remember seeing one with a starting bid of $3500 up several times without selling, it was in better condition than the one in the current auction, don't know if it ever did sell.

To me, if money was no object...

Hmm, if money was no object, knowing my collectomania, I'd be giving Uwe a run for his money...

I love that bass! I'd buy one if czechs make a replica of that, minus the banjo tuners ofcourse.

Wow~ Went for 5k!!!!!

Dave W · July 21, 2009, 01:55:51 PM

Did it? I don't see where it says it was sold.

gweimer · July 21, 2009, 02:50:48 PM

The '59 bass sold for best offer of $2501. The '60 didn't sell.

Dave W · July 21, 2009, 02:54:46 PM

I was talking about the '60.
