Second, a new CT5 costs $240 shipped, and this one is $275, also shipped. Party foul? Not really an issue, when bearstripes posted this back in April, and prices were probably up there.
Alas, I will vouch for bearstripes as a great seller/trader, but do I know they don't spend as much time here as you, me, party purple posse or 4U funky swedes no.1 - 27th, so cut 'em some slack?
Third, if this post had a BUY IT NOW button and you were 3/4 through a bag of Dr. Neptune's Zummy Gummy Nummys (Sandalwood Mist LTD Edition bag #44 of #45), we'd all be a whole lot happier, I tale you what.

There was no malice in my post beyond saying "hey dude, you have some mustard on your cheek...you might want to wipe that off" - these have been in stock at that price for a while. I mean, I coulda come out guns a blazing with wild accusations and since this isn't TGP or some other goofy site where people sell stuff for more than you can buy it new I wouldn't have to worry about a moderator banning me. I mean, mtl asm has their own forum here...and this isn't the kind of place you need to tip toe around moderation...but yeah, I thought I was cutting OP some slack with my postbut whatever
It used to be that when you got something used, you paid less because why wouldn't you want to save some money AND support the builder if you are able? I'm not saying bearstripes isn't a great seller/trader...I'm just saying that it costs an extra $35 (thanks for doing the math!) to find out how great of a trader bearstripes is.
I'll tell you what...I fell bad...for $265 (** offer valid only while pedals are listed as in stock on mtl asm website), I'll sell you a BRAND NEW (shipped direct from mtl asm) ct5 - shipped to your door (whatever color is in stock on the website)...and because I feel bad about this whole thing, I'll also donate $25 directly to bearstripes just for creating this thread. In this situation, I feel like EVERYONE wins!!! bearstripes gets to keep his ct5, you get a brand spanking new ct5, you save $10 off of bearstripes advertised price, bearstripes gets a free $25 just for being a great seller/trader, mtl asm gets a sale and we continue to support one of the greatest most forward thinking builders on the planet. I mean...what's the flaw here? NOTHING?!?!? Let's have at it!![]()
