Phil O'Keefe Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I thought I had more money in the old Paypal account than it turned out I did, and I wanted to pay $100 - or at LEAST $75, and I only had about $45 in there, so I didn't bid. Besides, since I had stickied the thread about it, I thought it would be better to give someone else the opportunity - maybe someone less fortunate and on a tighter budget than I am - to get a cool pedal at a price they could afford. Congrats to all of you who managed to make the "first 20 OBO" list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Great Waldo Pepper Posted November 27, 2007 Members Share Posted November 27, 2007 I can tell you that just the hardware is more expensive than $10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members loosegroove Posted November 27, 2007 Members Share Posted November 27, 2007 Damn, a lot of you folks are cheap bastards . Thing is, this is way different than the Radio Head album. With the album, no matter how many albums they sold, their costs were still the same. So if they sold 10 copies, and then somebody bought the 11th copy for only a penny, it doesn't really matter since that 11th download cost Radio Head nothing more to produce. With Nick, that 11th pedal cost X amount to build, and now he is out the difference in cost to build and the lowball amount he sold it for. Not to mention that 11th download purchased for a penny wasn't going to prevent a full paying consumer from buying the album since there was unlimited supply. But hopefully they are happy with the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an imperfect experiment and setup. The results were about what I expected though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Doesn't he just sell it to the highest bidder? I would assume at least one person would offer what it's really worth. No, that's not the way he set it up. He accepted the FIRST 20 bidders, regardless of how much or how little they bid on the pedals with their "best offers". IOW, if you offered $1, and were one of the first 20 bids, you got the pedal for $1 (plus $5 shipping in the USA, $10 overseas). Incredibly nice (and trusting) of Nic to do this. I sure hope the winners will make a LOT of music with the pedals - send Nic some clips and give him props on your next CD, and I bet he'd be tickled pink about it.

Members BTBAM Posted November 27, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 27, 2007 I'm sure the people who get these will also tell EVERYONE they know about catalinbread effects...about what this offer was and how cool of a guy nic is....ALL the effects he makes, how cool a lot of them are...and that they will hopefully buy something out of it too. This will be my 5th catalinbread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
