Kev Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 for the record, my offer was £75, and that is very reasonable. there is no way anyone who had a brain would pay £100 for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not a forum where we take advantage of people for lack of knowledge, clearly from him withdrawing it you've offered him bugger all for the pedal I'd say about £40 knowing how you've dealt with me in the past.[/quote] wtf is that supposed to mean?

Kev Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 [quote name='DrGonzo' post='67558' date='Sep 30 2007, 01:45 AM']Ste, Now I really don't get what your post was on about. You say you can get hold of one of these pedals, mint condition, for £60-70. The pedal for sale was tatty and missing parts. You reckoned Kev offered £40 (or so you said...). Why is that not a fair price? Why butt in at all?[/quote] sorry to triple post, but +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 sorry im just seriously f****d off with selected people on this forum who think they f****n own the place basically the deal i had with guy is ruined, because toasted and tayste said its worth over £100, which it obviously isnt, n then ste even posts sayin he wouldnt pay over £60 for a mint one i mean wtf? iv reported to a moderator, but like thats gunna do anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tayste_2000 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 No what I said was I can get a mint one when ever I want for about 60-70 due to pedal collector friends I have that are willing to do me deals and ship me things anywhere in the world for free, that doesn't make this one any less valuable on ebay. I would gladly pay £100 for this, wouldn't pay much more than that at the moment as its not something I would have other than collection purposes but I'd also say it's worth more than that on the open market so I wouldn't have expected him to sell it to me at that price. The main point of this Kev is this place is supposed to be a community, I've met many a great people one here who I regularly speak to and have jam sessions with, I've had people collect bass cabs for me from the other end of the country as favours. I've sent people little bits and bobs for free etc etc clearly Dodge did not know what the thing is worth and by what the thing is worth I mean how much they are selling for used and not the figure you've decided its worth because that's all you've got. Now a general thing that most sellers on here do is say "I've seen this going for £120 on ebay I'll do it to a BC'er for £110 or £100" thats the spirit of a community. People are welcome to lowball away and when you know something is worth something then that's fine. But that's not what's happened here, you know damn well how much these pedals are worth second hand and you also know that the condition of the paint makes next to no difference on the vintage EHX stuff hell most people are dubious if it doesn't looked fecked over. True you aren't buying it to make a profit but that's this week, say you get it and don't like it and then go to sell it will you have a BIN price on ebay of £75? I highly doubt that. Something similar happened to Paul_C or Arrowhead here he had a Bass Whammy for sale and he wanted £80 for it and we told him to go stick it on ebay as he'd get more for it I think he ended up with £400 or something and again this is the point we are a COMMUNITY not a bunch of arseholes trying to do each other over every chance we get.

Kev Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 unlike some, yes i would sell it back for no more than i bought it for, i take it from that comment that you, like toasted, like to rip people off when it suits you. fact: the pedal, and the sound it produces, is not worth over £75, that is what i was prepared to pay for it. the fact is your up your own arse on this forum, and you make sure you let everyone else know it. yes you know alot about effects and so on, im not disputing that, but your just so hostile to people who challenge your knowledge, hence why you and joe have had a grudge against me since i joined the forum. you scuppered a perfectly fair and good deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 I kind of hoped you two would just take this one offline and not post your sniping at each other for everyone to see.

Toasted Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 [quote name='BassManKev' post='67713' date='Sep 30 2007, 04:19 PM']i take it from that comment that you, like toasted, like to rip people off when it suits you.[/quote] Kev, this simply isn't true, and I'm not going to let you get away with it. £50 for your Unibass was a good and fair price - 2/3rds of the selling price of a new one - IIRC, you actually rejected my offer. I've never ripped anyone off on a deal, and I've given alot away free to the community - most recently a Jazz pickup cover to Ped. Cheers. Joe.

Kev Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 (edited) of course i rejected the offer, as it was less than what i paid for it its irrelevant anyways, judging by the dates of posting and the messages, its clear that you were going to buy the unibass off me for £50 and sell it for double that elsewere. il leave people to judge you apropriatly for that. you should have pm'd me, we agreed this thread was going to be left to die let it die Edited September 30, 2007 by BassManKev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's 5 for sale that are easy to pick up, there'll be many more lurking out there. Back to the original point of this thread, I'd say £75 would be a fair price, but I wouldn't sell! Kev, do some serious ebay hunting, Australia and France are good for weird pedals. Edited October 2, 2007 by DrGonzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higgie Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 According to those BINs on the auctions, when you take into account the shipping and taxes from the US, it'll definitely come to more than £100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 OK, I'm fed up with this. Look, if you people want to discuss if a price is good or not and get hostile, do it away from the forum. Frankly I no longer care who is at fault. I'm closing this thread. The seller is welcome to advertise his sales as is anyone else but I don't think this behaviour is acceptable.
