Sandberg TM5 Caliafornia Pricing

I've been offered $1850 AUD for the Sandberg, near mint condition, would this be a recommend price? It is alder/rosewood standard specs (see picture)
Could anyone provide some advice, I was planning on getting a Lakland 55-02 Deluxe but this looks about the same price and alot better.
Comparing the Lakland and Sandberg what would be better?

Sorry what does that mean?

You asked about the price/value of the bass, and I didn't see a "supporting member" banner by your name. Just letting you know that some rule following folks may not respond because of it.

As for the comparison of the Lakland and Sandberg, you'll probably get some responses. Both are pretty well respected and liked around these parts. I'm curious how those who've played them will rank them.

You can ask price quotes on items you are buying without supporting membership just not selling. You are fine with this thread. That being said, I have no clue on the value of a Sandberg let alone one with Australia. You can find price values by checking the TB classifieds and Ebay's completed listing but you would likely need to add to those values to compensate for being down under.

Interesting. Now I've learned something.
