If i had the money id love to help raise the price on this auction, and give it my best shot.

 

[syciprider]

Nice bass. Needs a maple board to be perfect.

 

[Steve Dude Barr]

Come on now folks....this is for a great cause... and you don't want to see me posing with this bass naked (ala Joe Nerve) licking this bass now do you????

I'll do it...you know I will...if anything push my bid up higher...there's a proxy bid set higher than my current high bid...hurt me if you feel lucky...

 

[Steve Dude Barr]

Derek....is this tax deductable??? Is the CLB Foundation a non-profit?? If so I just may go kooky-crazy on this...let me know. My accountant informs me I need some deductions and I'd much rather write a check to the CLBF than Uncle Sam.

The Casey Lee Ball Foundation is a nonprofit organization where 100% of every dollar donated goes directly to pediatric kidney research. We are able to provide a receipt to the winning bidder for their donation. According to the IRS the write off amount is the difference between the "fair market value" and the donation amount.

Please!!! go crazy with your bids............

Derek, you are a veritable fountain of information!

Now, fair market value.....let's say it's used, because of course it's been lugged around, hither and yon, to NAMM and so on....so fair market value on used SR4 is around, oh, 800 to 850.

But then it's been defaced! Look! Someone has written all over it! And not just someone - a whole gaggle of someones. That has to have a negative impact on its resale value....so let's say maybe 600 dollars.

Now if you can get the IRS to buy that.....heh heh.

 

[Derek]

Yes I believe you are on the right track. Jack ....

Fair Market Value HMM!!!!!

Kind of like my rental house in SLO.

It was appreciating at around 25% a year. Come tax time the IRS says "no wait that is a depreciating asset and you get to take another deduction on that house"

Kind of silly but sometimes the IRS tax codes can really work in your favor.

 

[Steve Dude Barr]

Oh and remember....Luke touched it and scribbled on it...FMV - $100

Thanks for the clarification Derek!!

Thanks for the clarification Derek!!

If Luke scribbled on it, doesn't FMV dictate that he has to pay the winner $100???

 

[Derek]

i like the way you guys are thinking. I hope this gets some good bids in the coming days.

The Next Bass for the CLB/Ebay auction is going to get Bovine squirming in his chair.......I can hardly wait...................
