Minty for sure but over 10 grand USD I'll pass

Reverb etc are loaded with cool old/vintage instruments, some priced to "market value" (which is still a lot of money - like a 1990s ES-335 for 2500GPB or a Rick 330-12 from the same decade at 2100GBP) and others at rock star-only prices (1964 Fender Jag for 6000GBP).  Yet neither seem to sell very often.  I have several instruments and also amps in my feed that I've been watching for years out of interest without a bite among them.  What's going on?  Are people hoping that one of the few rich musicians left is going to see that your item is "the one" and buy it?  How long do you expect to list high-dollar, but still market value, stuff before it sells? 

I ask because I have a decent collection myself of instruments and boutique amps that are worth something on paper, some of which were new when I bought them but are vintage now, that I imagine I'm going to have to start downsizing within the next decade.

I know this guy he’s right handed and just fell over this beautiful lefty in the UK and bought it for a cheap price from a guy who had no clue how rare this Mustang left is.
Now the buyer just tries to make a lot of money.
It would be better if he would make a lefty player happy to a fair price. But looking at his asking price this will never happen. Just ridiculous.
I Think this Bass will end up in a store or just in a Collectors Room.

I actually ordered a lefty Fender Mustang while I was in the 9th grade, back around 1967. At that time (I did not know), Fender was moving its production facilities to a different building and basically stopped taking orders for a while. When they did re-start, I was told that when they had orders for 50 lefties they would then build all 50. Of course they did have lefty P basses available, but I had my mind set on a Mustang. After two years I canceled the order.

Now that I am old and cannot stretch my fingers comfortably, I am really interested in the JMJ Mustang - which, naturally, is not available lefty. Currently I have one Fender (Strat, 1973-ish, all stock) and I did own one P bass thirty years ago but traded it in on a G&L 2500. Fender has not been on my radar for decades.

Marked as sold on Reverb. Have to see if it resurfaces.

Can anyone post the old reverb link please?

Seems it was sold to the full price as showing 0 offers.
unbelievable, who the hell pays 10.000 Euros for a 1975 Mustang bass?
Must be Paul McCartney or some other rich guy from the UK

Naturally, no lefties in stock. A friend of mine has one and claims it to be the best bang-for-the-buck he has ever purchased.

I remember my dad saying I used to go to the movie and it was 5 cents, now I look back and remember when Mustangs were $100 bucks.
