MOSTLY FS Alamo Guitarron mariachi bass, international offers considered.

Not something you see on here everyday, huh? All acoustic. As far as I can tell, it's in great shape, but I really don't know anything about these. Does seem to be a more deluxe version than many I've seen judging by the inlay around the sound hole and the binding. Includes a nice like new gig bag. The bass itself only has a few minor dings which I'm guessing were put there by me as it seemed virtually new when I bought it. $450

I need cash so if you are going to make a trade offer, it needs to be something I could sell quickly and perhaps for more money than the guitarron.

Um... I'll start bidding at $5.

(Might want to name your price)

I had to ship a couple ebay sales today so I thought I'd take the guitarron to the UPS Store to see what it was going to cost. I was floored! NY will be $158 and WA $141. Someone suggested I allow international purchases. Well Japan would be $862! You're going to have to want a guitarron awful bad to pay that. Anyway, I was hoping to lower the price to today, but I just can't. If I can't sell it here for what I've got it listed at, I'll have to go local or just keep it I guess.

I rarely understand how people find so much spread in shipping prices... I've had a bass shipped to me in Hong Kong from the U.S. for $150, it arrived signature required within a few days. I've been quoted on pedals I've been trying to buy for $150, and they're a fraction of the size of the bass! I usually get them for $20-40 shipping though.

Just saying, there may be options for more reasonable shipping quotes out there that may help entice a buyer than the one's you were given. Anyway, good luck!

Well the prices you're coming up with are way more reasonable. What service, do you remember? These are UPS. I know they charge a little service fee at the UPS Store but it can't account for THAT much.

Still around

USPS shipping is much cheaper and just as reliable. Did you check their prices? They have a good web calculator if you know the weight and dimensions.

I might be interested if the shipped price was lower.

You realize I was including the shipping and not expecting you to pay that on top, right? I'll look into USPS though the UPS Store folks said that they did both and USPS was actually MORE for this size. Regardless, you can always shoot me an offer. I'll give you a polite "no thanks" if I'm not interested.
