Default 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????

Without seeing it and knowing more about the bass/condition, etc., it's more difficult to answer. If the bass is in excellent to mint condition, unaltered and no issues, then it could be a decent deal.

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.
