Double dipping

1) Create a marketplace
2) Charge fees
3) Profit
4) Accumulate mass amounts of data
5) Game the marketplace with that data
6) ???
7) PROFIT

Don't forget that they've started hiding the data to avoid allowing used prices to dip low enough to cut into their profit margin.

This is a decent price for a Frostwave Blue Ringer....well until the Mothers grab it up and double the asking price.

The tremolo on these is killer. I played with someone who had one, and that was his go-to, in place of a standard tremolo pedal.

Yep. They'll lowball the shit out of you on offers then then turn around and sell the same product for brand new prices or jack up the price on anything they think might be valuable.

I think there is a rant thread about this. I remember something like that happened to me.[/quote]

I think there are multiple threads of rants, but all of mine are contained to this one, I think. But, yeah, this has been talked about several times before.

As I've said before, it's a business, blah, blah, blah, but their whole advertisement scheme is based around being a place where people don't try to Craigslist each other, then they go out and Craiglist everyone they deal with. Except, yeah, they've got mounds of user data to figure out just how much they can Craigslist you.

Somebody buy this and put a neck on it. Then I call dibs on the flip. Relic'ing and all.

man. that thing looks awesome. but i'm not crazy about the neck p-90. if it were s/h i'd probably jump on it for my EGC neck. ugh.

I think it's a WRHB in a p90 enclosure but I could be confused.

Price increases when you cross the Miss.
A shipment that might be $15 to Louisiana can increase to $25 when shipping to Texas.

^ Really? I don't think I've ever seen that before.

Same. I think this dude's just a Yankee-of-the-East as we call 'em here in Texas. No better than a normo Yankee if ya ask me (why is there no badass cowboy smilie???)

I ship stuff all over the country and there's definitely a notable price difference when crossing certain parts of the country (granted, I also ship stuff that's heavier than your average guitar pedal and insured for ~$1000 a pop).
