I wouldn’t be afraid of being a bit optimistic with your pricing.

But go onto eBay right now and you'll see two listed for the best part of £900 each. In the completed listings, there they are again, repeatedly offered, alongside one which was listed for auction at £500 multiple times but no bidders each time.
Right at the bottom is a 'sold' example for £880 or so - but it doesn't actually seem to be sold. Hmmm.
I agree, I would not want to try and ask over £350/400 for such a guitar/bass - So am I out of touch or is the 'e-bay' private seller out of touch
Of course, this brings out the nostalgia and eventually translates to high speculative prices on eBay - thing is tho, the reality is they were heavy, cumbersome and average sounding at best. And not worth that much...
Looking on the bright side (not my usual perspective, it feels weird...), if you have an L6S or Peavey T-40 and you'd be perfectly happy with the "old" prices of £800 or £350, then you should be able to get a quick sale, shouldn't you?
... or will people regard your item as suspiciously cheap?

So basically nothing's selling, but now it's not selling at higher prices than it wasn't selling before.
the old argument for capitalism used to be that it catalysed creativity & promoted productivity, the so-called buccaneering halcyon days of 18th &19th century industry (halcyon days for factory owners, less so for workers & slaves).
the one modern neoliberals always hark back to as proof that the system should be considered ideal-borderline-sacred.
but when the capitalist mandate (maximise capital return on capital investment) becomes so perverted & degraded (& detached from maintaining a meaningful relationship with the workforce that fuels it) that capital will always generate a greater return from investment in asset speculation (that benefits a few capital holders solely) than investment in creative & productive activity (that benefits a few capital holders and the mass of workers mutually), investment funding will inevitably shift into 'useless' speculation & away from 'useful' productive industry.
as a consequence industry will wither, employment decline & living standards fall for most.
too much 'gambling' & not enough 'doing' made jack a game-over.boy.
& to be balanced against his is the simultaneous sad reality that uneccessary production of unsustainable &/or toxic consumables is polluting the planet to the point of inhabitability.
vintage or new, do or don't do, masturbation or sex, mensch oder swine...

no one does anything, no one produces anything, no one exchanges anything...
& yet the company can still potentially claim a net increase in its worth as a total asset entity to shareholders & investors.
perhaps we are nearing the point where warehouses full of over-insured stock will be burning down in mysterious circumstances faster than new factories are being be built?
With that said, if I had to buy an aftermarket set of pickups, I'd just go with seymour duncan antiquities.
