He can't be serious?   ???

That's what I get when I punch the numbers into the UPS estimator.  Not Kebo's fault at all, other than the fact that he insists it must go UPS.  In my experience, for retail stores with a corporate UPS or Fedex account, even a bass in a hard case would be no more than $250 to ship to Australia.  Surely Kebo has a corporate account?  I could always open a Shipitto account I suppose.

Actually, $2901.99 is not such a good deal - he's had it listed on his website for $2995 for the past 6 months, which means he would have taken an offer for a few hundred less.  Looks like a case of bidders getting caught up in the excitement of an auction, where if they did their research first they would have found the bass listed at Kebo's website and made him an offer.

It's a bit like when I list something on eBay with a BIN price, and as soon as the first bidder has bid, the BIN price disappears.  9 times out of 10 the final price ends up being higher than the original BIN price.

yup, that's Henry's bass...or was. I'm pretty sure he traded it back to Kebo for another vintage Fender

Sorry to see Henry let it go, IIRC Kebo ordered the bass from Mike originally. For what it is the price is reasonable, Mike's basses are sweet players!

I misread the selling price I thought it went for 2,100
