I mean, I know we're on a site called ilovefuzz, but who really cares that much about a moderately mass-produced fuzz that doesn't even go "blattttttsquak-weoooooooo" to bother speculating Cooper/MA-style on it en masse?

Also, Randy's Revenge in Dallas $179: https://www.guitarcenter.com/Used/In-St ... t-Pedal.gc
I’m ovly interested in paying way over retail prices for my pedals, regardless of manufacturer.

Yes, I’m the guy who spent $2k on a Moment Machine.

If someone actually paid that much for the Moment Machine (laugh out fucking loud). People are insane. He's going to make more for fucks sake. Hahaha. God I love hype sales. Wish that would have been me. That's even greedy by my standards though.

Shit I've owned the Gen Loss like 5 times. LOL! Just lowball offer all of them. They deserve the lowball offers anyway. ;) Added a note that say "this is for being such a cunt on pricing".

Pretty sure there were 100 Moment Machines in the first batch with another 150 coming in a few weeks.

Also, my favorite stated reason for selling when people flip these hyped boxes within 5 minutes of delivery is "this pedal is beyond me and deserves to be in the hands of someone more creative/capable/talented/etc..." As if they're really worried that they don't deserve the pedal but someone else is worthy of paying them triple to own it :lol:

Another Moment Machine popped up just now on Reverb. Why are people buying these? To outright flip and never use? Seems insane and disrespectful to sole builders.

I don't see it as disrespect at all, but I do think it's lame when it's something I want. ;) lol

Yup. Just seems silly when there are people who want them that may not be rich and would put them to good use.

Why stop at grocery stores when you could just say corporations in general?
