$13k? There's another one north of $5k. What am I missing?

I wanna say people are delusional assholes?

Probably something less idiotic though, like some feeble attempt to build hype or just making some inside joke :idk:

I don't see the og box in the picture. Literally worthless.

Tactic to drum up traffic would be my guess.

People do this sometimes because Reverb has no listing fee.

There was one listed by 60 Cycle Hum at what appeared to be a normal price with a shipping charge that was at least $13K. It appears the outrageous shipping charge is now the price. Mojo insurance, perhaps?

I recently found out that some people trade through Reverb by posting items at ridiculous prices and accepting offers from the specific person they're trading :idk:

Sounds like a front for money laundering. :snax:

Preposterous/confusing price aside—that design tho. Decided to check it out. Sounds pretty sweet... almost like a simplified but stackable(!) Gray Channel. Looks like it was a very limited run for the 60 Cycle Hum podcast.

Anyway. If they made more I'd check one out.

I still don't understand what's with these $150+ LM741 drives. :idk:
For that price you could buy a few D+'s and mod them to preference.

On eBay sellers do similar things to keep the same ad if they run out of stock. I don't know if it matters with reverb or not.

For example: $100 pedal sells out. Jack the price to $20k. Get more stock in, change price back to $100
