$1525 and only 3 hours to go... has the Rick resale value finally started to come down?

[Stingray5]

wow jumped up to $2158 and sold

[cangaroo]

i guess it has to do with the recent announcement that ric is going to resume lefty production in the next weeks (source : ric fb page), maybe people is trying to make money until they can.

Anyway i'll wait the pricing for new left handed basses to confirm this. If pricing of the new should be in the high-end, there's still chance to see astronomical prices on used ricks.

I guess the $2100-$2400 is the range for older Ric's, I have two Ric's one I have had for 32 years, the other is an 80 Ric I got very similar to this for $2200 just last year. I was not aware they are starting to make new Lefty Ric's good move I'm sure many of the topics on this page helped in that decision.

MF quotes $1950 for a righty MG. I would assume that if Ric keeps their previous lefty upcharge rate intact that they will come in somewhere around $2199.

Now wouldn't it be great if they forego the upcharge?

Hey, I'm holding my breath!!! No laughing now ...

Please can you post a link to this? When was it posted? Wasn't by chance around 3 days before your post above, was it...?
