Im mistaken, some dude started CME, sold it to some mega billion dollar brokerage firm subsidy of Charles Schwab CEO in 2010, which expanded CME and set up Reverb.

I actually think that CME and Reverb have been able to operate somewhat independently, but the decision to open the Mothership storefront was a bad decision from a PR standpoint. It's not really bringing in a ton of revenue and it's generating friction amongst the site's most frequent customers, so I wouldn't be surprised to see it axed in the future.
How do you suppose they'll do that? Just stop buying and let their stock dwindle?
If people start e-mailing in their frustrations over the Mothership, instead of just complaining on message boards, that would be a good start. Reverb is a business and it's ultimately their goal to make money, so if they started getting a lot of complaints, then they might be motivated to adjust policies---because it's in their interest to guard against revenue losses and customer departures.
---If Reverb felt concerned that the Mothership venture was a possible detriment to the bottom line, then it'd be easy for them to liquidate their remaining stock in no time at all. Of course that's not going to happen, unless people take this up with Reverb officials directly.

I forgot about CME's sale as well.
1990: Scott Silver founds CME
2010: Silver sells CME to David Kalt, a tech entrepreneur
2012: Reverb.com launches

They lowball then resell for over the top resell price.
They've definitely been caught artificially inflating the price of rare pedals in this fashion.

Will they bargain? They got something I want; I know the way to find out, but my headache can't take the spike a 0.75%-off-initial-offer counter will surely produce....
Edit: haha, nvm, already gonzo. Deal-with-devil averted.
