First of all, it's pure speculation as to what GC paid for it as the information being passed is rank hearsay on the part of Clay. Moreover, did anyone mention what the value the added parting gifts were to the seller?
There have been many threads here that indicated what a clean, okay, player, 3 legged dog burst have sold for that were done in a way that didn't compromise anyone....those are the public service ones, not this one that was done out of spite.
'Pure speculation'? What GC paid was a direct quote from Clay's dialogue with the Seller. I believe the 160k quote, simply because Clay has no further axe to grind. Also, I'd assess the 'extra candy' in the form of the basses and amp which GC threw in at no more than $5k, since Seller was interested in financing his daughter's college, and I doubt he'd take too much of an in-kind payment.
Methinks thou dost protest too much, Jim...it's nice for us mere mortals to have the facts illuminated on one of these deals, despite the angst that may pose for some whose interests rest with (the myth of?) an escalating burst price spiral. If I had one for sale, I guess I wouldn't be looking to move it just now...specially after reading this thread...though I've got TWO kids in college...hmmm :hmm...what's a 65 Fender Mustang bass worth?
Peace
