More madness...
« on: May 14, 2009, 10:16:50 AM »
I was watching Ebay on a Schaller 460 bridge, thinking I might grab another one.  Final price was $190!  I got mine for $70 a couple years back.  There may be a recession, but it seems that some things are unaffected.  This comes right after that Epiphone Embassy sold for $3900.

I agree.  Some items have gone off the charts while most appear depressed.  I see a lot of parts going higher than they used to.  My  theory is folks feel they can spend more on parts since they've cut back on buying complete instruments.  I know I have.  I've stopped buying anything except parts for my projects and tools for my shop.  I've let at least 6-7 basses pass on eBay lately that I would have jumped on last year.  Just trying to conserve!

GreatDealz did a great service to the builder and a lot of damage to the dealers.

Overpaying... "there's a sucker born every minute..."

We've all done it, to our cost... just need to be patient these days...
