63 jazz? @ Goodwill

[bh2]

Tis a thing of beauty... On my.

puuuuleeeeze.

to maintain it's value. you don't repaint a bass like that. all it needs is a logo (can be obtained from fender) and remove the stickers from the back of the neck.

if everything is original on it, and it appears to be, i would estimate that bass's current value to be about $7-8K, maybe more.

I think he was kidding about painting, thus the big smiley after his post.

boy, i certainly hope so.
my mistake (dang internet!).

 

[Spinal Tapper]

Wow! Someone might get a good deal on that...then again, it's already up to 2k...

 

[peledog]

That's not a Fender.

That's not a Fender.

What makes you say that?

 

[peledog]

No logo on the headstock. Duh.

 

[billiam5billion]

Hehe, I see what you did there...

1956$+shipping

The Jazz is nearly $2,000 - it would be great if an El Paso TB'er checked it out and could report back.

I bought a couple of golf clubs, a cricket bat and a bag of neckties off of shopgoodwill.com - good deals.

There is also a funky 70's Japanese Beatle bass there now.

An occasional Martin acoustic finds it way to the store as well.

I can go and take a look at it... 10 min ride from my house. Suggestions?

 

[dangnewt]

It ended up going for $3,708. Good for Goodwill, was this a good price for the buyer? Did a TB'er end up with it.


So close yet so far.

i wonder what it's doing at goodwill? It seems as if someone's significant other was mad and donated a bunch of "stuff" to goodwill....

 

[Spinal Tapper]

Wonder who got it!?!? Hopefully a TBer

 

[dangnewt]

It was pretty banged up, refinished and didn't have a Fender decal so it is possible the donor didn't know what they had.

Holy Mama! I thought I got lucky on a clean 92 MIK Samick made Epiphone Les Paul Standard that I scored cheap on a Shop Goodwill auction that happened to be located in my home town earlier this year. Don't see this sort of thing everyday on their auction site. I also don't think the winning bid is too bad at all. Just ask yourself what the average national purveyor of vintage instruments would be asking for this bad boy if they'd got ahold of it, and it all proved legit.

It's a GREAT buy. I was in up to the 3K level but got beaten out. Just didn't have more than that to spend. And basses like this are NEVER refinished, repainted, etc. You want the true road worn, tattered look to preserve the value. This is a GEM of a bass.

You would be shocked and amazed at what people donate to Goodwill..good and bad..trust me

Sorry to hear you got beat out on it.

But if it is any consolation, at least you bumped the price up so that the Goodwill will have a little more for their programming. Might be good for a few karma points.

I hear you, I love good karma
