With that case maybe. (Couldn't seller have cleaned it up some?)

Maybe offer a little low and see if you get the right answer. But if it is in really good shape it's about right. They are fast and IMO they punched above their weight. Case included, try to go a little low as I think they are hovering closer to $300-ish. And wipe it off before you post NBD pics.

Thanks for the replies.
It definitely needs a good "preservation polish " .
I was thinking about 300 also.

I think that's high, my first bass ever was a MIJ '85 Kramer Pioneer JJ, my brother had a MIJ Kramer Focus guitar, a friend had a Striker. Another friend had an American Baretta, I played plenty of other Kramers of all origins in stores during the '80s.

The fit, finish and overall quality of the made in Korea Striker line of that era (care to debate the merits of plywood as a tonewood?) was noticeably lower than the American/Japanese Kramers IMO.

Plywood: Really????!
You definitely know your Kramer's

Plywood it is, at least on all the ones that I've seen. Hardware is all Schaller and the necks are very nice IMO so they do have several things going for them. Nice inexpensive basses they were back in the day.

I went to a music store to see if they had spare bass parts and dude gave me a Kramer Stricker for free. I can confirm the body is plywood. It's not a terribe bass but probably not worth $325.
