I don't know why, but anytime there's a valuable guitar/bass/amp on Goodwill it ends up selling for the same if not way more than it would on Reverb or Ebay. Something about the platform seems to attract bidders who have no idea what the actual value of something is!

That TB2000 needs a nut (and a knob) so not in the worst state, but it's already over $3k with a week to go. Will easily go over $4k if not near $5k-$6k.

yeah I've seen that over and over again - consistently see well used (ew) Shure SM58s go for $>100 on Goodwill. I gave up on it

I got what I thought was a good deal on an 80s G&L bass, and then ended up having to have the damn thing refretted (the ONLY time I've ever had to do that!). It was a great playing and sounding bass, and I think I still came out ahead when I sold it, but I haven't tried to get anything through Goodwill since.
