  1. I don't know where you ship, but I haven't seen $29 shipping in 10 years. Amazing that there's such a discrepancy. That PRS in the big case is HEAVY and I'm sure would cost me close $100 to ship and insure. Been shipping gear for years and have never found prices as low as your getting. I've gone through Staples UPS ship center, Kinkos FedEx, and Mailboxes Etc. I don't bother with the post office because of their limited hours. Its frustrating because if I could ship for $30 I would. EDIT: I just checked the UPS estimator and it said $50 to Albuquerque. That's still higher than what you're paying and I know it will be much higher going through a contracted ship center like staples. honestly I don't know where I could ship direct, seems everywhere I look to ship, its a business owned by a third party.
  2. Hey I wanted to mention something to you sellers. If you can, don't ship out of those fedex convenience stores, like Kinkos & so forth. They charge a HUGE amount more. I wanted to ship a guitar recently from OR to FL & they wanted $68 to ship it fedex ground. I said no way & shipped out of my wife's office for $21. You really pay heavily to ship out of those private post office type businesses. Not sure where else to ship from, seems all the ship centers are privately owned.
  3. $30? I wish. Last guitar I shipped was a Baja tele, UPS ground. With insurance and a signature requirement it cost me about $75. I've stopped shipping. I have several nice guitars for sale on Craig's List. Not getting any love even though they are nice guitars at good prices (like a 61RI Sg for $1000), but I won't ship and I won't sell them for a big loss, I'd rather keep them.
  4. "Buyers market" I hear that a lot. And its usually the assumed antonym to a {censored}ty economy. But things are a little different now. Its not as much a buyer's market as logic would dictate; its more of a frozen market. People are not willing to pay high prices because the economy sucks and buyers lowball severely assuming you have to sell. Likewise, many sellers are asking too much, or even fair value, but would rather hold on and not sell than to take a big loss. So everything has ground to a halt. We're in some strange times for sure.
  5. All you need right here, pissed off Marshall in a pedal. I've used this in front of Marshall, Fender, TopHat, Orange, and others and its killer. [video=youtube;zTdoq7FmLhQ]
  6. This is the most I could find, from Trower's website. Tragically, James Dewar, best known as bassist and vocalist for Robin Trower and Stone The Crows, passed away on May 16, 2002. Dewar had been ill since a medical mishap in 1987.
