I think the downturn is well and truely here

I just sold a brand new boxed unused Jim Dunlop Cry Baby for £5.

How the hell are dealers selling them for between £57 ( cheapest I have seen ) and £99 ( most expensive ).

I have just checked eBay and there is a page full of them all unsold or with £9 on them ( I suppose thats £4 more then I fricking got )

Er.. I'm afraid it's because they're crap pedals!

Shifted my Godin, Jap Squier and RC-50 this week for decent money. S'pose it depend on what your selling...

[stevebrum]

No offence mate but if you let it go for a fiver then its your own fault.

Your also talking sh@t about ebay - recently the last cry babys sold generally went for between £20 and £40. However the lowest being £13.35 on the 1st june but that had £12.50 postage. The highest being £45 on the 7th June with £4.40 postage.

You can only judge Ebay on completed items due to last second bidding.

Rant over!

I'm just pointing out that they dont appear to be selling , I didnt ask for a lecture on eBay search's.

I have a train spotter living down the road who ( after he puts his raincoat on ) can talk the hind legs of a donkey about mundane shit like that


Jesus, did you shit the bed or something ?



On the other hand, Amberience may have given me the answer to my question.

There shit . I think they are ok, pretty much like the Cry Babys of old. The Morley one I had was shit, but horse's for course's.................oh fuck we're back onto that bad horsie thing again

Fairly easily modded into a really good wah though.

I've sold shed loads over this past month all at cracking prices. Some stuff went within hours others took a day or so.

But looking around I can see a lot of stuff hanging in the air not moving.

Your Godin was priced to sell though, that was a good buy. ( I assume that was the Black HB one ? )

If you tell me it only cost a fiver to mod it, I will scream

[Sporky_McGuffin]

Nah, I think it'd cost me more than that, and I buy components in bulk.

Sorry if my tone was out of line, I certainly dont have the time to go on forums just to argue. As for the train spotter business - not really my vox wah doesnt have a power socket, cry baby's do. I went to search on ebay for a cry baby cause your post made me think they were readily available for a tenner!

When I couldnt find one I simply searched completed listings.

Like I said sorry if I have offended you but you got my hopes up for a cheap wah!, and if you were not complaining you were certainly exclaiming - so what was the point in the post? You were to impatient to get a good price so obviously the arse has fell out the secondhand guitar market? You didnt have to sell it that low did you?
