Members Sordid1 Posted August 30, 2005 Members Share Posted August 30, 2005 I used to think ebay was pretty cool but lately almost everything I see on there is from Guitar Center and is way overpriced. It makes it hard to sort through to the decent priced stuff you were wanting in the first place. I almost think they should seperate ebay in to regular consumer and dealers to make it easier to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JKD Posted August 30, 2005 Members Share Posted August 30, 2005 Yes...and those gcrep's almost never answer questions you put to them about their overpriced auction items. They suck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members takedeepbreaths Posted August 30, 2005 Members Share Posted August 30, 2005 I agree, when I see an over priced guitar, the ebay ID is usually gcrep or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Japetus Posted August 30, 2005 Members Share Posted August 30, 2005 Why don't they just open their own auction site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tlbonehead Posted August 30, 2005 Members Share Posted August 30, 2005 Not sure what you are looking at but I'd say MAYBE 1 out of 1000 items I've looked at was from a GC. Doesn't quite qualify as "everything". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cow Juice Posted August 30, 2005 Members Share Posted August 30, 2005 Hey guys you can filter out there auctions in your searchs, and yes they are douches. They take the K mart approach to selling things, i hate them. We used to have an awesome guitar store here in town, then a {censored}ing GC comes to town, well whaddaya knoW?! my fav store,,,, gone, assholes.

Recently I have been looking at a lot of PRS guitars and a good portion of them are from GC. I have seen them on other things as well so it's not just those.

Members aeonrevolution Posted August 30, 2005 Members Share Posted August 30, 2005 Why don't they just post is on the HC classifieds, they own HC after all I'm not sure I understand your anger here heh. Does GC really own HC? Or are you just saying they spam our classifieds a lot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AmpliFIRE Posted August 30, 2005 Members Share Posted August 30, 2005 Almost every item that lists the location as "United States" is Guitar Center. Their auctions are insanely over priced and their feedback is {censored}. Just ask Roccaforte about his experience w/ them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sordid1 Posted August 30, 2005 Author Members Share Posted August 30, 2005 Originally posted by aeonrevolution Nuh uh.... I have heard that more than once (them owning HC that is) and I guess it doesn't bother me. I don't have an issue with GC in general it's just their bombarding EBAY with overpriced auctions on the stuff I want to buy. I understand I could filter them out but that isn't the point.

Members aeonrevolution Posted August 30, 2005 Members Share Posted August 30, 2005 I'm not sure I believe that or not...if they really did don't you think there would be GC Spam all over the main page?

There is musicians friend spam all over the front page usually and it's the same parent company, they own the B-52 amp company as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long has MF/GC owned them? I don't think it's been very long. I know one of the guys that works at our GC and he said they just bought the company. I talked to him about a month ago about it so it hasn't been long. He did say the B52 amps were doing very well for them, the one I played sounded much better than I thought it would to be honest.

Members Inearthed Posted August 31, 2005 Members Share Posted August 31, 2005 GC does have their own auction site, I think.. InstrumentExchange.com Prices are usually cheaper for the auctions on that site too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
