Interestiing question

I know music stores buy instruments for half of what they can sell them for. Does that mean that some poor guy sold THIS for $750?!

If he did sell it for $750, he was either very desperate, or very stupid, IMO.

It's probably on consignment. I wonder what BassNW's cut is though?

I hope that's the case. BTW, stores usually charge about 20%.

I'd pay that!!

BTW- the store has more than a 20% mark up. Their COGS is about 20% so they have to mark up closer to 30-35% to keep their doors open.

I wish Roger would (please,please) consider doing a lefty for me so that I can get rid of this GAS that is bothering me....
