E-Bay Madness

[Count Bassy]

Just couple of things that I've seen recently:

A quite old 4 x 10 cabinet went up with a starting price of £400, which I thought was a bit silly, and unsurprisingly got no bids.
Now re-listed with a buy it now price of £430!! WTF? What planet is the man on?

Secondly a Marshal B150 combo came up. Starting price £300!! Now I like Marshall kit and have one of these, but £300?? - I got mine for £100!


Just felt the need to share.


Hope neither of them is anyone here, but if it is then I do believe you're pushing your luck a bit!

I have been having a clear out at home : we've had a big building project done, and we had to store a load of stuff in a unit, and consequently its really brought home how little I've used some stuff, espacially pedals - so they went on eBay. I always make a point of checking what stuff is going for on completed auctions, and to my amazement, discovered that an old Ibanez compressor I had owned since 1982 is now a very sought after item - as David Gilmour from the Floyd uses one, and they are really rare. It had been boxed, no battery, on a shelf for 20 years! They had been completing for about £120 - so I thought "great" and listed it. Well, 2 guys got into a bidding war, and it finished at well over £200.

That said, I was also going to list an early 80's Korean Squier Strat in Cherry red, which is all original and immaculate : a fantastic guitar, and I reckoned should fetch £150 - £200, but one just like it, in equal condition just finished at £80, so that's staying under the bed in it's case.

Just supply and demand I suppose, as always.

Everything's Rare on there these days?
Put a fiver on a cd last week
On my return it was £42.50
To me at that price it can remain Rare.

What annoys me is everything I want to buy goes for way over what I think its worth but whenever I sell anything I get lower than its worth!!!

I have that trouble too. I watch stuff for ages to gauge the price then when I sell it goes for much less. Conspiracy theory anyone?

Never sold anything on the Bay at a worthwhile profit - it might happen, one day......

Not complete madness, he only got six of them.

Still ludicrously overpriced though
