Have sales really slowed down in the classifieds? Lately it seems like anything over $50 doesn't sell. Economy? Too much product? 
May be I am wrong. What do I know.......I just play bass.

I was getting inquiries on a Fender I just sold minutes after I posted it, and it was gone in a few hours. It was a relatively cheap one, though. I've seen a few Am. Deluxe basses that people just can't seem to get rid of. |

Things are pretty tight right now... |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Lakeland, FL | | I'm cutting way back on my buying and selling. I spent a LOT of time packing and shipping over the last year and a half. Other than the OLD T-40, I just scored yesterday, I'm saving up to buy a real nice bass, possibley at the Atlanta Bass Gallery when I go up there in June. I'm done with projects, fixer uppers and budget basses. I have a room full of them  |

50-60% people. Maybe 70%.
Otherwise...
