Trust me, it's not that easy. I'm actually trying to negotiate the deal with me still keeping the '64 Jazz Relic.
Do it and be done with it. Let moving all that trade merchandise be the store's/seller's problem. You could probably net more for your trade items by selling them on your own, but that's doing it the hard way. Let the profit vultures fight over that stuff. If you can make the trade, do it and don't look back.
I would do it, don't put your time selling the gear, do the trade and use that time to play the bass. Time worth more than the gear you want to trade or the regret of not doing it. Hell you're already wasting precious P time right now.
Every arguments you brought justify doing it and the wife agrees too...listen to the wife my friend ;-)

I've got a different philosophy about it. The '58 (or '59) is just another regular production bass that happened to be built 56 years ago whereas a Custom Shop bass is built to be special from day one.
Hey, if you're anything like me, suddenly gaining some new open space in your house has to be pretty appealing too.
Not sure of the values of the CS Fenders but, still I do it. Those can be replaced in some fashion
I like this guy.
Honestly, the time and money with fees it will cost to move 7 basses could really add up, and the 58/59 vintage P in question could be gone by then. Plus, if OP ever feels the itch, it's not like he can't replace any of the basses he's trading away. They're all pretty easy to find IMO. I see Custom Shop basses all day that just sit on Ebay waiting to get snatched up.
I just read every post here and was bummed to reach the end without the deal being sealed. DO IT ALREADY!! So what if you're losing a couple hundred this way vs. selling all that stuff on it's own? It's so much less of a hassle because you're making one huge dump and you're getting a killer dream bass. It sounds like an ideal scenario for you. And I couldn't care less about one of these things not coming in it's original case. I'd rather put it in a new flight case or Mono bag anyway. Those old cases are kinda gross.
Well what did you decide? We are waiting................................................................

The deal is done. I am heading there in a couple of days to make the exchange.
