Hofner 500/1 "Cavern" Violin Bass

The Hofner 500/1 "Cavern" Violin Bass has a real sold value of $25,151.39 for used-condition instruments, based on actual eBay transactions [1]. However, current sellers are typically asking between $900 and $1,500 for this model, with a median asking price of $1,200 — significantly below the historical sold value. This suggests strong potential for value if you can acquire one at or near the lower end of the asking range. You can compare these live eBay listings directly to assess opportunities.
