Count Bassy Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) Just couple of things that I've seen recently: A quite old 4 x 10 cabinet went up with a starting price of £400, which I thought was a bit silly, and unsurprisingly got no bids. Now re-listed with a buy it now price of £430!! WTF? What planet is the man on? Secondly a Marshal B150 combo came up. Starting price £300!! Now I like Marshall kit and have one of these, but £300?? - I got mine for £100! Just felt the need to share. Hope neither of them is anyone here, but if it is then I do believe you're pushing your luck a bit!

The Admiral Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I have been having a clear out at home : we've had a big building project done, and we had to store a load of stuff in a unit, and consequently its really brought home how little I've used some stuff, espacially pedals - so they went on eBay. I always make a point of checking what stuff is going for on completed auctions, and to my amazement, discovered that an old Ibanez compressor I had owned since 1982 is now a very sought after item - as David Gilmour from the Floyd uses one, and they are really rare. It had been boxed, no battery, on a shelf for 20 years! They had been completing for about £120 - so I thought "great" and listed it. Well, 2 guys got into a bidding war, and it finished at well over £200. That said, I was also going to list an early 80's Korean Squier Strat in Cherry red, which is all original and immaculate : a fantastic guitar, and I reckoned should fetch £150 - £200, but one just like it, in equal condition just finished at £80, so that's staying under the bed in it's case. Just supply and demand I suppose, as always. A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB1 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 MB1. Everything's Rare on there these days? Put a fiver on a cd last week On my return it was £42.50 To me at that price it can remain Rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzodog Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 What annoys me is everything I want to buy goes for way over what I think its worth but whenever I sell anything I get lower than its worth!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectoremg Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I have that trouble too. I watch stuff for ages to gauge the price then when I sell it goes for much less. Conspiracy theory anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
