Hello,
I found a used Cort Curbow4 (red) at a thrift store
(looks like this: Cort Curbow4 eltoro59 images )
It doesn't have any strings on it, but appears to be in good shape otherwise without testing the electrical side of it. They are asking $124 for it. I tried to haggle down but they said the item just came in and they want it to sit on the floor for a month before they consider dropping the price. I've looked online (eBay, Reverb, Guitar Center used gear, Bluebook) for general pricing and it appears this bass will sell for $250+ at a minimum once you consider shipping.
I can't find any more in depth info on this bass though. Does anyone know the history behind this? It appears the Curbow4 came out in 1998, other times I read 2012. I asked Guitar Center chat support what the original price offering new on it was and they couldn't help me. I've used the Archive.org wayback machine to look at Guitarcenter and Cortguitars.com for better info with no luck.
Do you think I should snag this bass before someone else does or should I sit on it for a month and hope noone sees it and I can haggle down?
Thanks for input
