The seller at Ebay says,

| As you may know some Bigsbys have sold for double what im asking ($24,000.00) and this is your chance!! |
Hmmmmm. Just think, if someone would buy this for $24,000, then there is a very good chance they could sell it for up to $48,000. Wow. How about that? What a sacrifice this guy is making, losing all of that profit margin. 
Aloha, 
Don

Costly indeed, but what would be considered a reasonable price for such an instrument?
It's a handmade vintage instrument by an important builder in a seemingly excellent state of repair.
For that money one can't buy a professional level violin. Obviously a steel guitar can't fetch the price of a Stradivarius, but isn't a Bigsby the "Strad" of console steels?

I see only 3 negs in his entire history, and they got their $ back. I think the seller is elderly and stuff happens. |

I was referring to the tone of the comments more than the actual number...
BTW: In their seller ratings eBay ignores all feedback that is older than 12 months - that goes for negative feedback, too. So much for the "entire history". |

True.
I'd still be willing to chance it with this particular seller. |

Looks like a straight up seller to me. Based on Bigsby selling prices over the last few years, his asking figure seems fair to me.
Jussi -- I've sent you a Bigsby related email, if you don't mind. Thanks. |
