To be honest, £300 seems MENTAL for a green muff, surely not?!! Have been out the game for a while though so maybe im wrong, but i swear the Civil War Gilmour muffs weren't even getting this much earlier this year.

Id honestly think about £150 would be the ceiling price, particularly as its not all original?

i think the circuits are either identical or very very similar to civil war muffs anyway


what did you mean not all original?

I think this is a bubble font one, went for £180:

Always good to stick things up for sale on a Friday or Saturday... people come home drunk and feeling worthless and rejected... you never know what could happen!

True, but the value of these old muffs, as with most pedals, is in the rarity rather than the sound, and the Civil War muffs are far rarer...

Just a pedantic point, the one knob isn't original :)

Maybe i'm wrong, not been in the buying/selling effect game for around 2 years so im out of touch! Out of interest, you say you have used it for a few months, how much did you pay for it may i ask?

£300 is a joke for this pedal. It's completely battered and is missing one of the original knobs. That one that sold for £180 was MINTY.

If anyone buys it for £300 I have some magic beans I'm sure they'd also be interested in.

But people pay loads for knob enhancements!

No you're right, if it's not all original that's a factor - and if it doesn't have the box that's also a minus as many of them do.

Still, here's a bubble that went for $395 with missing battery cover:

and one with some electrical issues that went for $200:

Alternatively, just sell the two original knobs for $20 each and keep the pedal:

I used to do that and got some good results.

However, the last couple of times, in the cold light of day, they do not pay for them!

Since they removed the power of negative feedback from the seller, it happens more often :)

Mystic Toasted is right again.[/quote]

I followed that too, after my offer on here for £135 was originally laughed at... OOF

I know it makes me a bad person but I did do a little LOL.

Im a bit worried actually when I was watching British Bakeoff on Tuesday when ever I saw a really good cake - especially from the insufferable red shirted girl - all I wanted to do was kick it over.
