Big ups to the dudes on Reverb selling the absolute worst / most beat up / raggedy ass example of something at a price way higher than all the nicer ones.

Yep, like any other sellin' platform, it's gettin' worse and worse over time. :(

The buyers can be almost just as bad. I don't turn Offers on but I still get a voluminous amount of low-ball offer emails. "Hey, I know that pedal is $300 on the open-market but will you take $50, I have to go to the dentist."

Yeah, I know. This is one of the reasons I am starting to become a lot more judicious about what I buy and try. I really have to have a better idea about it and how I might incorporate it instead of "screw it, I can always flip it and get it back." Not really..................

Same! I bought a couple things this year with the usual “I can sell it if I don’t like it” rationale, but I haven’t sold anything in a couple years and didn’t realize it’s not as painless as it once was. Back to Craigslist and ILF BST I guess.

Also: Reverb applies sales tax to shipping fees, which we all know the seller determines based on whatever they feel like charging. Personally, I consider this to be Some Kinda Bullshit

Dang, I didn't realize they raised their fees so much. I am used to seeing the flippers with mega inflated hype pedals on there...but what confuses me the most is the people out there tryna sell some still in production Boss pedal that looks like it's been through a wood chipper for like $5 less than the price of a brand new one.

plus the $25 shipping that makes it easily more expensive than a new one :/
