$2500 BIN.....
Do people not understand the "for sale" market is hosed? Greed gets you no sale. That's pretty inflated for a 78' but then there is worse (insert shop names here....)

They're "super hard to find" but you see one of those 78'-83' almost consistently on eBay. |

I'm perso0nally getting tired of seeing the same garden variety maple necked Ps again and again, though this one at least has a black pickguard w sunburst. Most you see are a natural finish. |

MAtches my 76 Jazz.  I'm now somewhat resigned to buying modified Fenders and having them refinished. That way, I don't lose much "collector's" value - there is none.  I love the brightness and the bite of the mid-70's Fenders, but yes, the color options were thin. I don't like paying "collectors" prices for these - they're not very "collection" worthy imo, but they're great players. Especially live. |

Seller must be motivated to move the bass. BIN is gone, the reserve was lowered WAY down. The current top bid is $1200, with the reserve met. |

IIRC, when you set a reserve with a BIN option, the BIN automatically disappears once the reserve has been met. So, I'm assuming that the seller had a "fair" reserve and an outrageous BIN, hoping that someone would have a major GAS attack and snatch it up right away. |

Props to the seller for keeping the BIN reasonable, upsidedown pics and all. Thing is, it may not be a '78. Some parts might have '79 or '80 dates on them. I bought a '78 with an "S8" serial number that had an '80 date below the pickup. (kinda wish I still had it, tho - good player AND it was siennaburst.) |
