Post 100.
I've been DYING to see what guitars get moved around by the members on this site. I'm also not online all the time so I've had to work my post count up naturally to get access to the classifieds.


Gotta go find my GAS mask ...

Get some tissues... you'll be very disappointed. LOL

[Jack Napalm]

Beware, dissapointment is near.

[N1CK]

LOL.
perhaps you're right. I'll officially expect nothing then.

[VitaminG]

set your expectations very low, that way everything is a plus! And that way you won't be too crushed when the "great deals" you hoped to see in the Classifieds are actually beat-to-hell Charvettes for $800

[Joe_Steeler]

There are some fast sharks in these waters young Jedi.
Beware.

They're down to as low as $800 now?!? Wow. Just wow.

Yeah, you'll be sorely disappointed. The JCF Rhoads and Big Red, for example, rarely appear in the Classifieds, and when they are sold, it's generally within a closed loop of buyers who are very well known on the board to make sure they don't end up at Guitar Center or some other trash dump.

San Dimas Charvels are the same way, for the same reason.

The most you'll find right now in the Classifieds are a handful of pedals that either no one wants or already has - or had and didn't like, trade offers for instructional videos for other instructional videos (that either everyone has or no one wants), or ads from people looking to buy various items in mint condition for a handful of magic beans

In short, if you're looking for The Good Stuff, it will take you years to get into "the circle", so you may as well keep your eye on Ebay and keep your credit card ready at all times, because you're up against eagle eyes and lightning-fast buyers.

And if you're selling here, you're selling to the stingiest bunch of skinflints this side of the Jordan River :ROTF:

[Bengal65]

I'm not saying anything on this thread. It hurts too much when I look at the classifieds!

so that's where I've been screwing up - I don't want to give up my magic beans....

Thanks Newc. This golden post of yours should be stickied, no kidding. Maybe that will stop the endless speculations and the race for 100
