Low feedback and boatloads and boatloads of incorrect info in the item details.

Well, it's 100% feedback, just not a lot of it :)

The info is for the wrong bass. That's what happens when you let eBay fill it out for you based on other peoples' listings.

Matt this is a great price for this bass comparing with the ones that popped up over the past couple of years, if I didn't had mine I would go for it at the buy it now price!
The description is fine and I bet if you don't pull the trigger on it someone else will buy it and relist it for $1800...
Sometimes you gotta take chances... Don't miss it!

And while you guys were busy critiquing it, it sold. Hope one of you guys got it.

Asking prices are meaningless.

When looking at Ebay sales over the last 90 days, 70's Musicmasters top out at $800.

Did you only look at right handed listings though? That tends to be the going rate for them. Lefties usually go much higher, and are much harder to find. I sold mine for $1200 or $1300 (can't remember which) a few years back. And they seem to have trended a little higher than that in recent years, from what I've seen.

It included a lefty. One that was recently-sold for $750. :mrgreen:

After my post, I did find some older discussions here about lefty sales and the higher lefty prices.

I saw an Olympic White lefty at Gruhn Guitars about 10 years ago, and it actually went for $750. I went to buy it and it was gone. That's the last time I saw an intact lefty anywhere remotely that cheap.

Agreed. In the last few years, with the exception of the one that sold this week, I've seen leftys sell for between $1100-1300 USD. If the one that sold this week holds up, it's a killer deal. We'll see if it gets relisted at a higher price or if a player actually scored...

This bass would be an excellent piece to flip.

Well, after the luck I've had recently with my Höfner, I shan't be doing that type of flippage. ;)
