BBODIts a waiting game now... I'm confident the prices will drop.
Yep -- I'd wait it out. Prices were down below $500 for a few months up until these got released. I think I even saw some as low as about $400. Not sure why folks think they can, all of a sudden, get more for them now but I wouldn't stress over it too much.
Hey guys...invariably this always happens about pricing and trends. That one now on EBAY is mine. You all should know the drill. Ebay/PP takes a nice chunk up front, so prices go up to cover costs. Am I asking an obscene amount like $895...no, but you see that plenty on LOTS of stuff.
Prices seem to have dropped on a few BJF's, BBOD included, in the last 1/2 year to a year...whatever. Of course most everyone wants to get a deal, whether they can afford it or not. Cliff, the ones you are talking about under $500 were all beaters....and that's cool...that stuff doesn't bother me because I'm gigging all the time....it's always about the tone.
These 30 that just got snapped up in less than a day...either you were lucky or not...been on both sides plenty of times. Does that make someone an evil profiteer to ask a bit more(reasonably), or must they conform always to the idealist "good guy" and offer it for little more than what they paid....supply and demand.
These are the moral and touchy emotional dynamics that always seem to repeat themselves...something, that with the overall lowered online standard of conduct will never quite resolve....again, whatever.
On that note, I will offer that one to anyone here who wants it $525 shipped and PP'd...check the auction rhetoric...it's all true, and I'll be happy to demo this very pedal to anyone seriously interested....a great price for a killer pedal in "new" condition.
FWIW, the two others I have I both paid over $600 for....which is what they were selling for at the time, AND which is what I think they are easily worth....this IS the BJFE forum, correct?
