Members JaredVR Posted September 16, 2009 Members Share Posted September 16, 2009 Well I was on ebay, and saw a 1977 Fender Champ for under $200, so I went ahead and just bid on it thinking...hey, thats cheap, but I'm sure someone will outbid me. Well, today I checked my email, and I won it. But I'm actually totally excited, though wasn't expecting to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ambient Exposure Posted September 16, 2009 Members Share Posted September 16, 2009 Great little amp, congrats. People on Australian ebay are {censored} heads. They just keep bidding with no thought. I see 2nd hand stuff go for more then it costs new all the time, WTF. Or I see pedals with a starting price of just say $100 and a BIN of $130 that sell for $200.... {censored}tards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cleverbastid Posted September 16, 2009 Members Share Posted September 16, 2009 Bid on a few things one night really really late (early in the AM) and forgot about them. Only way I figured it out was when I got outbid thankfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jarrizle Posted September 16, 2009 Members Share Posted September 16, 2009 Something similar happened to me like this about a year ago...except I got drunk and when I woke up I had an email telling me that i had been the highest bidder for a Traynor YCV40WR. It actually turned out to be one of the better ebay purchases I've made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Blakemore Effects Posted September 16, 2009 Members Share Posted September 16, 2009 A month or so ago I bought a 1965 Silvertone 1454 this way. I just bid $400 like the first day of the auction thinking "Someone will outbid me. These things have been going for like $800." Then I checked back a week later and saw I was still in the lead, and ended up winning. Pretty sweet guitar. Very good accident. And if we're including drunken purchases, two years ago I bought an RE-201 when I was drunk for like $350. It was busted, but I fixed it and sold it for $750 a month later. Maybe I should only buy things when I'm drunk? haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
