Excuse me if that has been discussed earlier, but I couldn't find a similar thread so far.

Sometimes I see prices that make a mint and boxed BOSS VB-2 look like a dirt cheap unit in comparison. For example the old Keio (that's the old name of KORG = Keio ORGan) "Synthesizer Traveler" pedal crosses the 1,000 $ border easily when it pops up at eBay:

What are the most insane price tags on used or new effects pedals tha you've seen so far? :eek:

I'd be very surprised if this doesn't end up as a Klon thread. :snax: :poke:

What does that overhyped pedal cost these days? Other pedals over 1k$?

I've seen Skreddy stuff reach obnoxiously high prices on the 'ol eBay.

original burns buzzaround are pretty outrageous. glad i found a nice pigdog spectrafuzz clone so i can keep my original safe and secure. there is an original Elka Dizzytone for 4,500$ on reverb, its on sale from 5,000$.
model 2 binson echorec are not inexpensive anymore, that's probably the most expensive pedal i've bought in awhile.

some of the D*A*M stuff is getting well over $1k…don't some of mutron's more advanced things go for a fortune…vintage guitar synths will be steep too.
