I prefer stock and then just do a setup I'm comfortable with. I've never modded any of my guitars. Outside of 2 acoustic guitars I have never purchased an electric guitar/bass that I have not held and played first. I did demo the acoustic models at a box store before I eventually found a deal...

Have a great weekend Sparky, thanks for showing up :roflmao:

Thank you for this thread. It has been very informative. Thanks to those who pointed out pirateship, I had no clue it existed :)

Not even close :laugh:

I noticed the same thing this week when I loaded up a guitar to sell on my account. I don't sell guitars frequently but I've had a Reverb account for well over 10 years.

That is a prime example of P.T. Barnum's most famous quote.

The only thing I disagree with in your comment is with the valuation points you made, they are considered subjective and definable, not interpretive, especially when a "celebrity" or historical value is applied. Of course it is all debatable, but there is a fairly definable scale between, as an...

You're entitled to your opinion no matter how void in reality it is. You do realize Talk Bass is a forum to "discuss" things primarily bass related, pretty sure that's why we all joined the platform. Why does that make you so angry?

It's a deal, giddy up :roflmao::laugh::roflmao:

I think they missed the point of the whole thread so I cleaned it up. To your point and theirs I'll say this, the thread I started is about the fair market value of a used musical instrument and not the subjective value of things someone may be looking at as "art" or whatever. Although some may...

So you're saying you would pay $950 plus shipping for a $200 guitar? Freedom of choice also includes making bad decisions and throwing money away as you stated so have it your way, to each their own. I was only pointing out the ripoff to those who may not know actual values of guitars but would...

I have a Glarry P bass I can paint up for you with Krylon Fusion Purple for $1,750 and I'll even sign it for free but you have to cover the shipping. :roflmao::laugh:

Yeah those days are over. Reverb puts the shipping on the individual seller and charges a fee plus taxes, but you can't really calculate it because you never know where the buyer will be located or you have the option of charging a flat rate and keep your fingers crossed. In the US anything...

It's been for sale on Reverb for over a year and shipping costs are expensive these days Reverb has no hand or control in that.

Why wouldn't I ask a guitar dealer how they arrived at an asking price for a guitar? No used "B" stock Squier is remotely worth anything near that price, $200 to $250 maybe. If you like to get ripped off then have it. I was providing a question about actual value and helping fellow musicians...
