Double Bass I think i robbed a music store??

[SevenReasons]

I walked into this shop today and they had a new Yamaha Slb 200 new for $1300!!!! It was a shop in this small city with very little demand for upright, and they've had it for a year and a bit and couldn't sell it. So i had to buy it. I wasn't even in the market but at that price!!! Just thought i'd spread my new holiday cheer!!!

Yes, you did steal it... Congrats, I think you're going to find they're a great EUB.

Just curious, what is it worth?

I assume we're speaking in CAD unless you tell me otherwise.

i think they sell for around $3000 Cdn. and a used one at Long and McQuade is currently priced at $2700. i got mine through a private sale for $1500. so that seems like a screaming deal for a new one, especially from a music store with overhead...

Wow. Great price.

Nice buy! Enjoy it.
