I really dig this (Kramer aluminum bass neck on a custom Pbass body) but I am on the wrong side of the pond:

I thought this was a photorealistic depiction of a dude in a yellow hazmat suit bending over into/interspersed with a stucco wall.
Bring me my oscillation overthruster.

Schumann PLL at the GC in Manhattan. Wonder if they let people test it out?

Whats it like dealing with guitar center for selling them your used gear? I'd imagine they give you peanuts for your stuff which would dissuade people from doing that but there is surprisingly a large amount of esoteric, desirable and weird gear in their used section. You would think those people would just sell it on Reverb or something? Its doubly strange because it seems like it would be easier to sell those things on Reverb or Ebay because you can include actual information about them and pictures not taken with a potato. Everytime I've inquired about something in the guitar center online used section I've never gotten a response and thus have never bought anything from them. I find the amount of cool stuff in the GC used section very strange.

Pretty sure people that sell things to GC are on par with those that sell to pawn shops: it's mostly just people who are desperate and don't have the time/opportunity to sell elsewhere.

I bought a lot of stuff from GC Used before Reverb...never cared much for Ebay. I used to work for GC. The folks who sell stuff are usually hard up and need money yesterday, and can't afford to play the waiting game with online sales. But: yes, figure GC has to sell at comparable prices to used gear online, so subtract the markup (30-40%) and that's what you get, cash-in-hand. I'm pretty sure that it was actually 50% markup for used, though I could never stomach that. Maybe waltdogg knows how it works now--he works for GC.
EDIT: Just saw jrfoxembryo's' post. Yes, that.

Schumann pedals are built so poorly that you would be wise to sell to GC rather than someone on Reverb and have to ship where it could easily break from the box being tossed around. If that person was the original owner they would have tripled their money at minimum anyway.
