Wal Bass Club.

ANOTHER $15K Wal on eBay (Mk. 3 - not mine):

Wal Bass Mk3 | eBay

Seller does not appear to have a history selling musical instruments, so anyone not put off by the price tag PLEASE exercise caution (and common sense).

I believe this was for sale on reverb....it got purchased by a guy i know on FB, but the seller refunded him since it already got sold (it was also listed on their store website)....funny thing it was listed for sale for $6500!!! Talk about flipping for profit!?!?

Well, earning a “reasonable” profit is one thing, “gouging“ is another. Then again, purchasing a used Wal isn’t quite the same thing as, for example, affording life-saving medicine.

... depending on who you ask, of course!
 
... and if anyone needs a “life-saving” Wal, this one’s available for far less than $15K.

(Mods - if I’ve overstepped my bounds here, please advise and I’ll modify my post as necessary).

Thinkin the new norm for fretted 4 strings is 8500+ now.(?)...maybe a super spiffy one could fetch the $10K+ range. Crazy....and awesome all wrapped up in one pkg.
Aren't you glad i talked you into buying a used one a few years ago? The amount that bass has gone up and continues to? Will def help off set some of the cost of your new one.
But good luck trying to let go of it. :roflmao::roflmao::roflmao:

I don’t know about that. The norm is what we all make of it. If people are willing to pay that much then that becomes the norm. If we all refuse to pay those high prices the prices will drop eventually.
