Please tell me the models and prices we are talking about. My Shen 3/4 although the highest end Gamba I think they even made is not brand new but is still without any damage with the exception of minor cosmetics of a 10 year old Bass used on occasion. I think 9k-10k or so was it's list price in 1997 but I need to move it and can be very reasonable on the asking price which is currently 6k completely set-up, as-is. If it were new stock, slightly higher might be warranted but thus is not the case and I need to move the Bass out and make room for others as well as pay for some expensive restorations.
