Members docjeffrey Posted July 7, 2008 Members Share Posted July 7, 2008 I remember being very remorseful about NOT buying a Vox AC30TBX when Marshall was making them in the UK. I had the AC15 and loved it, but I missed out on the 30. They rarely come up for sale on ebay, and when they do the shipping is astronomical. So I'm cruising the closeout/scratch 'n' dent bin on American Musical and I come across one that was obviously returned for $1500 and free shipping. It had a bad ECC83 tube but I fixed that in short order and have loved it ever since. Do any of you ever get the feeling that you need to jump on something before it's gone forever?

Members donsimon76 Posted July 7, 2008 Members Share Posted July 7, 2008 95% of the time I research an item to death before buying it. Of that 5%, 45% of the stuff gets kept more than a month. If I see something at GC that I wasn't planning on, out comes the cell phone camera and then i research it at home. I am only 10 minutes from GC so it isn't a problem to do that. That has stopped me from making a mistake a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Crisco Posted July 7, 2008 Members Share Posted July 7, 2008 Do any of you ever get the feeling that you need to jump on something before it's gone forever? Yes! I jumped on my Epiphone Plus Top Lp for $399 once I realized it was the same one being sold 5 miles down the road for $549 She was a winner from the moment I picked it up I was like 'Wow...they took care with this one' wasn't until 10 or so minutes after I left the store that I realized it was a plus top for $399...."HEY! That's the PLAINTOP price dumb-ass! Get Back There NOW!" I told myself as I tripped out. She's mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members metallica_00 Posted July 7, 2008 Members Share Posted July 7, 2008 I always plan and research everything, but one day I walked into a shop, tried the Fulltone OCD, and just couldn't leave without it. While I've never regretted the purchase, when I left the store I remember thinking "WTF am I doing???"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members chrisebrooks06 Posted July 7, 2008 Author Members Share Posted July 7, 2008 yeah i remeber once i looked at a line 6 pod, and the guy asked what music i liked i said h metal so he brought over a ltd eclipse guitar, lol i bought the guitar instead of the pod, then i got home and thought oh dear, what are you doing, but i felt no guilt as i was in a {censored} job i hated and at least i had something to show for getting up early every morning lol, but thankfully im a little wiser these days and certainly in a better job lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
