Another EBAY ripp-off attempt?

Comments

  • ManitouManitou
    Mo...I don't think this is a blatant rip off attempt.

    The listed retail price on this amp is $199.99, and this seller is including a $25 Monster cable. The S/H is reasonable.
    They may not know about Musician's Friend (or that Online Stores are very competitive)...and maybe paid about $150 for this, at a local music store?

    When I viewed this...there was about 17 hrs. left on the auction, and no bids. This is a new seller... (2) feedback. They are on the bottom end of a learning curve.

    If they relist...they may do more homework on the competition.
    I just think this is inexperience, and unsophistication.

    Good points Manitou. Probably not blatant, but still $200 for a $100 amp. You can go straght to GC and pick up the 30 watt version of this amp for $200. Oh well, that's why there are no bids, I guess.

    It doesnt look like a scam, if thats what you're trying to say. Although I wouldnt risk it with a 2 feedback seller.

    What people ask for is their decision. It often isnt the right one.

    I didn't say it was a scam, I only asked. Just that I notice that it sells for much cheaper brand new. That's all.

    Hey,
    No, I dont dive - I live in Sydney where there are no real diving attractions. The great barrier reef is a great place - the largest reef in the world. However it is several thousand kilometers away from me :wink::wink:

    Um...\"duh\" is the word I'm looking for... :oops:
    I'd thought about actually GOING to Russia and picking out a wifey, instead of M/O'g her.
    But they're all Catholic. No pre-nups. Now, I'm not the richest guy in the world, but I sure don't want a woman to take half what I own with her once she's got her green card, or decides she'd rather be with \"Skidmark the biker\". :shock:

    Naw, that was during the Cold War, when all Russians were godless heathen communist psychopath street sweepers.
    Now that the Cold War is over and people have actually GONE there, they're finding that the entire country is teeming with unbearably hott women who want nothing more than a man who isn't an alcoholic. Oh, and the Catholic thing...

    er...Orhodox, that's what I meant. I slept through Comparative Religion in college. :oops:

    But they still consider a prenup a hostile gesture. :roll:
    Or do you know something I don't? Are you gonna send me one of the good ones, or not??? I'll send you the plane ticket... :lol:

    Fine...be that way...you make it sound like playing riffs for hordes of adoring hotties is somehow better than having your yard full of every kind of wildlife imaginable...

    Uh...er...I think I had a point... :oops:

    It might be time for you to do a parity of WASP's \"Blind in Texas\" Change it to \"Crime on eBay\" or something like it.

    Someone said something about Russians and russian orthodox church... anyway apparently they have the highest concentration of basso profundo voices. So, listen to this:

    If iliace could translate I'd really like to hear what they're saying (if it is in russian).
