an observation: guitar center's used section and covid-19
Posted: Mon Apr 06, 2020 10:47 am
so pre-corona there was a bunch of used stuff that I'd been eyeing for a bit waiting for a price drop.
once isolation started all the cool stuff started disappearing quick.
example: there was a TVL JM for like 799 I think. Solid price but it'd been sitting there for a while so I was waiting for a price drop to jump on it.
It disappeared almost immediately after the quarantine started.
As did just about every other used JM.
As did just about every used pedal I was looking at.
There was a LP St for 1299 w/ a bunch of finish issues, like this thing had been gigged to hell and back. Also gone, less than a week into quarantine.
I find it pretty cool, if a little annoying, that people are gobbling up the cool stuff because they now have the time at home to enjoy it.
....I really should've jumped on that TVL...
