Re: The headsup sweet shit on ebay thread....
We need to rebox some Behringers and get the hype train going so we can all have a retirement fund
. Although I’m not sure how that happens anymore. The cool/hipstery screen printed pedal brands (I’m looking at you, Walrus) aren’t that in demand.

YUP! Although in my defense I paid a high premium for this Draume so I'm only interested in getting my investment back.UglyCasanova wrote:So I guess you became a whore then? 28 seconds in...shikawkee wrote:Well I guy offered me a grand on Instagram last week so I figured what the hell?Never wrote:https://reverb.com/item/33808703-pladas ... ping-conus

And....someone did offer me $1000. early last week so I figured might as well start up there. I dunno'.
I'm perfectly happy just not losing money on it.

I get it. Just leaves a weird taste in my mouth when I know Knut. Just feels weird. It's fair to want to break even. No doubt.

Re: The headsup sweet shit on ebay thread....
I don't like it either and I shouldn't have paid a premium for it but I was so fuckin' frustrated at the initial offering website failure I sprung for it. I feel shame. And yeah I'm happy to just break even.UglyCasanova wrote:I get it. Just leaves a weird taste in my mouth when I know Knut. Just feels weird. It's fair to want to break even. No doubt.
I had in in my cart that first sale when the website crashed. Really pissed me off. My bad.

Yeah wanting to break even on a sale is a pretty natural reaction.UglyCasanova wrote:I get it. Just leaves a weird taste in my mouth when I know Knut. Just feels weird. It's fair to want to break even. No doubt.
I never would have got mine if it was above normal retail price though. It's a great pedal and everything but I feel like you can buy things that get to a similar place for the same money. I guess I just... Don't understand the hype train.

Yup, I don't feel good about it that's for sure.coldbrightsunlight wrote:Yeah wanting to break even on a sale is a pretty natural reaction.UglyCasanova wrote:I get it. Just leaves a weird taste in my mouth when I know Knut. Just feels weird. It's fair to want to break even. No doubt.

Oh, and another reason besides wanting to break even for listing so high (higher than I paid frankly) is Reverb has that setting "turn down all offers less than 65% of listing value?". That way I wouldn't have to respond to every low ball offer well below what I paid, dig?
I was perfectly content paying retail that first day until the site crashed and I kind of snapped. I'm a bad person.
I will spend time in the penalty box now. Won't be the first time <g>.

Re: The headsup sweet shit on ebay thread....
Maybe think of it differently, which I totally get what you’re saying. It’s cool that someone is willing to pay so much just to try one of his pedals.UglyCasanova wrote:I get it. Just leaves a weird taste in my mouth when I know Knut. Just feels weird. It's fair to want to break even. No doubt.
Me? I’ve tried two and they are fun and I’ll try more but i can’t afford the second hand market. ;(

Re: The headsup sweet shit on ebay thread....
I don't feel as bad now: Someone just listed one for $800. and someone has it in their cart! See? I just priced it $50 too much!!! <g>
(As I said before, some nut offered me $1000 last week before bailing out....crazy!!)

Re: The headsup sweet shit on ebay thread....
Oh that’s your Draume on Reverb? I follow your shop and bought the Tetanus Booster you sold a couple months ago. Your prices are always reasonable so when I saw that Draume and saw that it was in your shop I just thought “wow the market must be nuts for them right now.” I was lucky enough to get a Draume direct and I like it enough to hold on to it but if I were to ever decide to sell it I think it would be hard not to list a bit above retail knowing that if I don’t it’s probably just gonna be snatched by someone who is gonna re-list it at a higher price as soon as they get it. IDK I would probably just wait to sell until the market comes down because I personally have no interest in trying to extract value from something without adding value but I don’t see anything wrong at all with you trying to get back out of it what you had to put into it.shikawkee wrote:Yup, I don't feel good about it that's for sure.coldbrightsunlight wrote:Yeah wanting to break even on a sale is a pretty natural reaction.UglyCasanova wrote:I get it.

Re: The headsup sweet shit on ebay thread....
Yeah, uncharacteristic for me I know. Stupidly overpaid and trying to get back what I put in. Or at least close (which wasn't $800 I can assure you).counttherings wrote:Oh that’s your Draume on Reverb? I follow your shop and bought the Tetanus Booster you sold a couple months ago.
