$1,000,000 bass

[kuuuks]

5K shipping is to pay the FBI to do a home delivery I guess.....lol

 

[Honch]

Click magnet it is called, that type of cheapskate advertisement.

 

[Honch]

Thinking of putting my own Klon Centaur pedal up for million dollar listing.... but as I have nothing else to pitch...have to chew on that one for a while.

 

[40Hz]

I know Jim. Can't wait to tell him somebody wants $1M for one of his designs. I'll bet he'll be gratified to know someone thinks so highly of him.

 

[kuuuks]

I'm speechless, The $5000 shipping is a nice touch too

Holy butts that's a long post

 

[bobpond]

He promised his wife he would put at least one bass up for sale.

I don't think it worked, one of his other listings is wedding rings...

 

[Sixgunn]

Weight? String spacing?

 

[bassstrangler]

I'm glad it's covered by the bay's protection, he doesn't take returns.

 

[higain617]

If this is worth a mil, then even putting a price on the Mothman would be heresy.

 

[TinIndian]

A Million Dollar Washburn? There is not a Bass guitar on the planet worth a Million Dollars, let alone a Washburn!

 

[pbass6811]

Maybe it's these two:



AND



The black one got repainted blue, and the red one is, well, still red...

(No offense to Pat Badger, whom I think is a great bassist and he seems like a cool dude! Rest In Peace is a serious JAM! I love that song!)

 

[2manynotes]

Is it Plek'd?

 

[fourtet102]

If my gear sells fast enough I might pull the trigger

 

[Bassmann79]

LMFAO! I wouldn't pay $500 for that pile of crap.

You can ask for $1,000,000,000 all day long, getting it is another matter entirely.

 

[BOOZEROCKET]

They'll do this from time to time, to skimp on ad costs. Until they'll get noticed from e-bay. But it is when they list too high prices that makes you click. Unbelieveable ones. And then you'll read the inventory that's down below. That's what they want. Only. There's more people clicking and looking at it, than if it was listed at 2.000 USD. I've seen one do that to a Steinberger bass, which had a "printed" top surface that could be removed. When looking close to it, it showed the companys Logo, and what the company did really sell. Listed at some 4 million dollars (or something). It had just as many views. No bids. That's all they want. For 8 million you could hire mr Mouradian for life and make him build as many basses as you'd like. For you only. I thought, that some company logo should be seen in the pix in the background but no...

And they get banned, but then it's too late. Enough people have made the click and seen it, and wondered *** that's all about. Then they (the company) start over and register another nick and carries on like that until e-bay officials takes notice, which will take a while. And on it goes. And that "while" is worthwhile for them.

And you'd better believe they get enormous amount of questions asked through e-bay, and declines to anwser back. That's when they know the "ad" is working. No matter what you think of the company later on, you've heard or seen the name. Period.

I would bet your right on the money there, but I have to doubt the success of such a strategy. After seeing the listing, my first impression of this guy is that he's an idiot and I wouldn't buy a thing off of him regardless of his inventory.

 

[Honch]

Ok, just look at this thread, how many has been linked to it, and you/we even list the inventory here. I did James Lomborg a favor by pointing to his ridiculously priced Steiny as well. Better to be talked about badly, than not any talk at all. Their mission is thus accomplished, since we "aired" it here, and now we know of their inventory.

Now, how many of you think this thread would even be started, if he still had the inventory there, but the Mouradian at a mere 1.000 USD even? Or even if it was a bargain deal at 100 USD? 100 USD wouldn't turn it to a click-magnet.

We know about it just due to (or thanks to) that million dollar listing. Their mission is accomplished! The ad worked! We all took the bait!

 

[Red Four]

Are they selling the guitar, or the company that made it?

 

[BassFishingInAmerica]

The funny thing is, if it came with a Porsche as case candy, it still wouldn't be worth a million dollars.

 

[basslust]

Pretty bizarre considering the actual Mouradian is still in business.

Yeah LOL he's actually the guy I bring my basses to for setups. Now maybe people can understand what I meant when I made the thread about me not being able do setups as good as the pros!
