Question on a price on a used Ken Smith Bass

I have a question on a 2000 Ken Smith BSR5GN, I know some one got one for sale but I don't know if the price is right. He got it for sale for $3200 it looks good. Do you think the price is good or is too high????

The bass is in mint condition, no issue what so ever, no ding or scratches

Sounds like a good price then. What are the woods used in the bass? Do you have pics?

what woods would make the difference...

for not much more you can get a new one I believe...

I got a 6 string BSR6GN for around that price, but it was pretty beat up..

Certainly nothing wrong with purchasing a new one. Give Ken a ringy dingy. :)

Not quite $3.2k. That's sounds like a reasonable price on the surface. :)
