The seller bought the bass last month here:

I guess after two weeks of owning the bass he did not like it? Hmmmmm....cause for concern?

I don't know how much the color affects the value. Otherwise I think it's a nice bass at the buy-it-now price. I can't remember, if I ever knew, whether Elan electronics have one preamp or two; this could be a consideration with the P/J pickups.
