Members bassplayer7770 Posted December 16, 2009 Members Share Posted December 16, 2009 Thank you for the advice, I threw it on there , and it only cost 3 dollars. we will see what happens You will also get charged based on the ending price. Also, give it time for the price to go up. The price usually goes up most during the last 24 hours... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members poomwah Posted December 16, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 16, 2009 Don't worry, if it sells I can chop up my other mockingbird. Hey renfield, would a battle axe sort of count as a silverburst? This thread doesn't bring the body mods. I want more body mods please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Crescent Seven Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 {censored} man, you're better off donating it to some kid that wants to learn bass. This kind of thing never, ever ends well. If you have the requisite tools to make this plan happen, just buy a blank body and make a body, then swap out the neck. If you don't have the tools to build a body like this from scratch, you have no bidness hacking into a viable bass...C7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members poomwah Posted December 17, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 Can't swap out the neck, its a thru neck. And I don't have the money to buy a blank, the whole idea was about using what I have to work with {censored} man, you're better off donating it to some kid that wants to learn bass.

Members 82Daion Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 You routinely have horrible ideas. This is hands down the most horrific, but I want you to hack that bass just to watch stff's reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members poomwah Posted December 18, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 18, 2009 Wow, the auction sat at less than 90 bucks for a whole day, but in the last hour shot up to 150 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fingeringam Posted December 18, 2009 Members Share Posted December 18, 2009 Wow, the auction sat at less than 90 bucks for a whole day, but in the last hour shot up to 150 The other auction shot up ~$175 in 3 hours. ebay is fickle. Set it and forget is what I've always done. No sense worrying. Once the other auction ends (19 hours), those guys that lost will come looking for yours.

Members poomwah Posted December 20, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 20, 2009 Its been at 152 for more than 2 days now.

Members Crescent Seven Posted December 20, 2009 Members Share Posted December 20, 2009 How much do you want to get for it? I might buy it just to piss off my ex-wife; that would be 4 basses this year alone. More than I bought in the 8 years we were together. If you're doing the eBay thing, remember that it's the week before Christmas. People are actually holding off on the online thing at this point because they wont get items by Christmas. The week after Christmas will see people who landed a bunch of $$, looking for something to spend it on. C7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Your auction is also ending at a difficult time - it's right before Christmas, too late to get it shipped to anyone before the 25th, and the buying audience has slacked off. I'd relist in January if it doesn't sell (along with a lot of pictures) and you should do pretty well. Heck, if it was my auction I'd start it at 99 cents with no reserve. My items usually take better prices this way, for whatever reason. You can even have someone shill for you... not that I would ever do such a thing... just sayin'.

Members poomwah Posted December 20, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 20, 2009 I kinda had my hopes up when that other one closed for well over 400.I suppose I will just relist after christmas unless c7 wants it. I'm too chicken to go without a reserve though, if I had done that id be giving up my mock for 152 dollar minus ebay fees. Id much rather chop it up than do that.C7, I've got the reserve at 275 plus 50 shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not one of those redneck "well I will set it on fire before I give it away" type things. It was originally set to meet the axe/saw, but it was suggested to try ebay first, so it got a stay of execution. If noone buys it, the project is back on. If I sold it for 150 dollars, I wouldn't have enough to buy the parts I just sold. Just simple economics.If you were referring to something else, please excuse my ignorance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
