Question Vote please!!!!

OK - I am meant to be trying to think about selling my friend's bass that he lent me - yes, I know - I've been thinking about this for awhile - but, circumstances have now made it a bit more urgent!

What I want to know is - these circumstances are that my visa application for living in Canada has now speeded up somewhat - so - what I want to know is:

Would I be better selling here in the UK - or would I get a quicker, easier sale in Canada - covering the cost of the bass (£995) plus whatever the shipping cost is?

All comments gratefully received .......

wow - writing was bigger than I thought it would be - but, then again - means I can actually read it without straining - whoops, guess that means a new pair of glasses will have to be on their way ....

One question - does your friend approve?

Do you have his/her permission to sell it? That's what needs to be asked first.

Good luck. That's one of the weirdest statements I've ever read.
Prolly makes sense on your planet.......
I am meant to be trying to go to the bathroom now......

It sounds like your friend doesn't have a friend.

Shipping costs aside, my gut feeling is a given instrument will bring more money in UK than CA.
