PauBass Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 Interesting, that Akai was sold yesterday on Ebay for....£665! and a day later it's selling on Gumtree fro £200? ....Something is not right here [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Akai-Deep-Impact-RARE-Bass-Synth-pedal-/260785889437?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item3cb80ce09d#ht_500wt_1156"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Akai-Deep-Impact-RAR...d#ht_500wt_1156[/url] Quote

Maverick Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) A mysterious and wealthy crusader trying to fight the tyranny of extremely overpriced bass effects by buying them up and selling them on at a loss to those poor but deserving musicians out there perhaps? ...Ok, a scammer then. And £665!? Some people need their heads examining. Edited May 25, 2011 by Maverick Quote
crez5150 Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 The pedals worth what people are willing to pay.... I think they are worth the money as I've not heard another peel come close... (anyone want to buys markbass super synth while I think of it). It's the same as any obsolete piece of kit that is a bit niche.... Quote

PauBass Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 I got in touch with the seller asking if it was still available and yes, it was. I said I was also based in London and that I'll be collecting in person and paying cash....guess what?....No reply Quote
