This one for 7k has been on the block for two years.
"Prefer local buyers to Los Angeles, but will ship to the right buyer." That seems like it limits the market a bit.
Does anyone have any experience with this seller?
Hi:
I spoke to him about this bass last night: he said he didn't want to ship where I am (Japan), and asked for local pickup because he was afraid of it getting lost in the mail, which I inferred as meaning: "not wanting trouble if it is stolen."
I can very much understand his point there: in hand means no misunderstandings.
I don't think he's dishonest (my gut feeling), but something of this price and demand on Reverb I would definitely would be disappointed hearing that.
