Hi Ulf.
 
Sorry if I caused any offence - I only meant to help give you something to use to judge a price against for another non-series bass that's on the market at the moment.
 
Yours is a lovely looking SC and I'm sure someone will snap it up from you.
 
Best of luck with the sale.

Hi Enzo,

I see on ebay the same SC as mine for  
?4.695,00

It is from 2009
My Bass is from 2008
 
So would ?4.000 be a good price??
 
(I do not want so sell my baby on ebay....)

The UK/Euro market is so odd to an American. I just quoted out this bass and you could order a new one for about $7500 US from the right dealer. With the best monthly special, it would be more like $6800. That's not far from the eBay price you referenced, though it doesn't cover any of the costs associated with importing to the UK. In the US, the used bass would probably go for $4000-4500 in a private sale.
 
In any case, a European asking price of ?4.000 doesn't sound out of line. If you go back five years to when I most closely followed the Alembic markets, it was very common for the UK value in pounds to equal the US value in dollars for used instruments. The difference between an '08 and an '09 is nil.

ok, after all of these feedbacks,  
I want to try asking for  
 
? 4.000  
? 4.750
 
shipping in Germany 0?
shipping Europe 120?  
 
I think its a fair price for european Alembic Friends

Good Luck, Ulf.  That's a beautiful bass.  Somebody will want it (I wish I could).
