Hmm... you joined today. You want to know what we would pay for a bass. You don't believe in punctuation.
Good luck with that.
Good luck with that.
Look at comparable sale history on Reverb?

It's like that Charlie Chaplin movie "The Kid".
There's probably some local chiropractor who employs a stooge to go around selling a T-40 at a tantalising price, as a means of generating a constant stream of chiropractic work.

That's only when they're trying to sell one.
The technicality here is he's looking to buy, is when its okay.
I had two of them and I wouldnt have two more of them and Id pay as little as possible and I wouldnt go look at one and by the way theyre real heavy and if it has a lot of wear Id pay less
The cheapest current T40 on Reverb is $760. 12 T40s have sold on Reverb for less than $650. This one sold for $599 with free shipping. If the one you're looking at buying is in worse cosmetic condition, offer $500 and cite past reverb sales and condition. Do your research.
Pay whatever the excavator will charge to bring it to your house.
Why?
- They were built to be a budget bass
- They're impossible to find parts for
- They're heavy
- There's nothing special about how they play or sound
Well that’s where I’m lost I’ve seen multiple across reverb eBay and marketplace ranging from 600-2000. I’m looking to buy play for a bit and flip if I can break even that’s fine to I don’t need to profit. It’s just at first look it looked kinda profitable. That’s a pic for reference she’s been played for sure supposedly all works gonna go look at it when I can since it’s only 30 minutes away.
You’re not looking at SOLD listings.
If you can play in person, take cash and offer less. There would be no fees to worry about then and no shipping if they offered low or no cost shipping. How much would I pay? I’m not a fan, so I wouldn’t want it if given to me.
The weight reputation is true, but they can be great sounding basses. The electronics was pretty sophiticated for it's day, now it's nothing special. You can get a decent Ric emulation out of them with new rounds and the treble cranked. Like a lot of Peavey gear of that era, pretty bulletproof, but HEAVY. As others have said, if any of the parts are broken, forget about finding a replacement unless you are willing to spend some cash. They aren't particularly rare, and there was a resurgence of interest in them on TB a couple years ago that seems to have waned. I seem to recall a thread or club dedicated to them on TB, try searching there. Some people love them, so there's something to it.
