the price you get for it is completely dependent(sp?) on the model. yamaha has a pretty big range of basses.

i would say you should put it up for around 165 no more than like 190 and dont accept less than 130. if you get 165 for it thats a good deal.
but depending on the condition you may get more or less for it
EDIT. if its a RBX170 you may be able to get around 180 for it. if its on ebay you're gonna get less than a local listing because of shipping cost.

Rule of thumb when selling used instruments back to stores. This is considering the instrument is in good shape.....no dings or huge scratches, clean...etc
You will get 50% of 50% of the full price of the item.
So if your instrument is brand new and costs $2000, the best you are going to get is $500. 50% of $2000 = $1000
1/2 of $1000 = $500.
It totally sucks selling non-USA made used instruments....you generally lose your shirt in the deal and walk out w/ a really bad taste.

Someone told me its about 700k-800k. Thought I saw a shop and she was selling for 320k. So really which price is the most balanced to sell it the maybe the quickest if you know what I mean. wink

here is an RBX 170
Not much....

$180 is the price for a NEW RBX170. I'd give you $50......that's $5 more than a shop will give you for it.
