Looking/Estimated price for a Warwick Thumb 5

Hello all, first I wanna thank those my in previous thread for giving me insight on the WarWick Thumb bass, most helpful bunch of scaly wags I ever had the chance to converse with.

Now to the main question/topic, how much do you all who have your Warwick Thumbs (or WW’s in general) have paid for you instrument on average (mostly looking for used)? This is for the regular, natural Satin finish one (I don’t like my basses with paint finishes, makes them look like lollipops lol).

-I see an estimation always being above $1,300 depending on the condition of the instrument, but how much should I be looking to spend for a used one (5 string bolt on)?
-What should I look for when checking one out?, I have held one once in my hand two days ago and know that it fits perfect in my hands, but it was an 05 model that a medium scratch on the front, and a lil dirty with the frets having marks from average use.

-Anything else would help, as well if you happen to be selling one or know (currently gathering up results and seeing what can be done).
