I will NEVER understand this...

How can you say that? 

"Sorry, these guitars are not for sale!"  erm, no problems. I'm good with that.

...This is a nice specimen, but 5.200 is overpriced. Yes, those basses are collectible (most probably go to Flying V guitar collections though as bass players are neither enamoured by the look nor the sound), but they haven't really developed from the 2.500-3.000 price range they already had a decade ago (if and only if in pristine condition).

Agreed, this one is way above what any have sold for. Regardless, any bassist who wants a genuine Gibson Flying V Bass will have to compete with V guitar collectors.
