Hi Tim,

That's ok - what would the cash purchase figure be?

My friend who is a guitar tech for Michael Kiwanuka did the refurb and said
the old parts are no good. I understand the original parts would be what a
buyer would want, but they are inferior quality to what has been put in
place now. He also gave me the guide price (which is at the upper end as a
starting point and also Reverb charge a fee too, which I had to build in).

If I was to explore the sales on commission basis, do you have a guide for
what price it should be listed for please? Happy to take your advice on
this!


Many thanks,
Amrit
