Members Mistersuperfly Posted November 26, 2009 Members Share Posted November 26, 2009 Best was buying a Ric 330 new from an MF blowout sale for $999 and selling it on ebay for $1450, that's how I have my Superdelay (some would look down on this, but I call it venture capitalism). I haven't ever really lost a whole lot on anything, I only regret selling my Gibson Goldtone GA15rv to my band's old producer for $450, still miss that thing.

Members greatwhiteclark Posted November 26, 2009 Members Share Posted November 26, 2009 I have 2 good flips on boss pedals. #1) Boss DC-2 paid $40 traded for a 12-string Tokai Ric copy.#2) Boss VB-2 paid $30 traded for a Early 70s Big Muff, a Zoom Hyper Metal and cash. Worst sale was the first electric I bought with my own money. Ibanez Talman in cherry sunburst. I paid $600 new and sold it when I was out of work for $200. I still miss that guitar.

Members Mistersuperfly Posted November 26, 2009 Members Share Posted November 26, 2009 I have gotten some good deals in my day though, and I pay for all my gear by selling other gear... I guess you could say I got my Voodoo V-Plex 100 with 4x12 (altogether ~$3,200 new) for $600, I got an Epi Elitist 3 years ago for $600, sold it on here for $600, used that money to buy my old Coronado, sold the Coronado 2 years later for $900, and bought my Voodoo from a guy who needed the money quick for about that much... My Hiwatt halfstack was $1,499 with cases but I paid for that by selling 2 amps that I paid a total of about $1,000 for... So those 2 amps cost me about $1,500 of my own money before buying and flipping other stuff to fund it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mr. Sarum Posted November 26, 2009 Members Share Posted November 26, 2009 I haven't really sold any of my pedals so... Anyways, I bought my 63' Jazzmaster for $2500. Not quite cheap, but very good for how much they normally run today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AluminumFalcon Posted November 26, 2009 Members Share Posted November 26, 2009 I haven't sold it yet but I bought a Ross Compressor for 20 bucks. Still waiting for the right offer but I know I should make a pretty penny on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dkerwood Posted November 26, 2009 Members Share Posted November 26, 2009 Bought a pro level custom built drumset with all the accessories for $750. Of course, I had been buying pro level hardware and cymbals for years, so I sold all the extra included stuff for $800 total. I made money on the transaction, but it took about 6 months to sell everything off. In general, I try to only move on killer deals. I regularly pick up guitars, pedals, amps, etc for $20 or less at garage sales, Craigslist, and unseen eBay auctions. Because of that, when I sell things, even if I sell at way less than market value, I always make money. I think the only thing I've taken a loss on recently is a big obnoxious Peavey Mark III Mixer. I just HAD to have it for $170. After about two gigs with it, I decided it was WAY too big and bought a Mackie. I ended up selling it and a couple of cheap old speakers for $150.

Members homestar_kevin Posted November 26, 2009 Members Share Posted November 26, 2009 I bought an Akai Reel to Reel at a Goodwill for 8 bucks and sold it on Craigslist the next week for $95. That was probably the greatest ratio of profit on one sale that I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cobalt-60 Posted November 26, 2009 Members Share Posted November 26, 2009 Bought a whole DJ set up for $100 and quick flipped it for $350, while keeping the Audio Technica headphones and Monster Cables (which, say what you will, is a step up from the broken/Radioshack cables I was using). Oh, and a Technics record bag that just looks cool. Biggest loss? A dead mint Guild amp I paid $200 for. A bit much, but the loss came when I sold it. It's what I get for going with an expensive impulse buy. First I was going to be like 3 weeks late shipping the thing because I was away, I told him this, and offered to pay shipping to compensate. He agreed. Eventually my step-dad shipped it out according to detailed instructions I left him. Then it got lost in the mail. Being young, naive, and stupid, I refunded the guy on good faith he'd pay me back once he got it. I was desperate to sell the thing. Of course he flamed my ebay account anyway claiming I was a con artist without warning. Fast forward three months, and it shows up on his door step, with the shipped date exactly when I said it was. Of course, he refused it. So I paid to ship the damn thing back to my house. It sits in the basement for a year while I'm in college. I come back, let it sit some more, thinking I'll just send it somewhere else. Eventually curiosity gets to me, I wonder what the old thing sounded like, I was such a n00b when I had it. I open it. Step-dad packed it with like three pages of newspaper and the thing imploded on delivery. It's in pieces, tube glass, brittle composite wood, bolts, just everything everywhere. It's ruined. So I paid $200 for the amp, $40 for shipping there, $40 for shipping back, and got a busted box of amp parts. Fail. Cool story bro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
