Went from no new pedals for about 8 months to 3 purchases in a week.

Timhulio Klon Clone
Behringer SuperFuzz (got it in the mail today, pretty sweet)

And I just found I won best offer on this Vintage no-led MXR Dist+

I'm obsessed

+1. Your demos are usually really good, so it would be great if you did one for the Dist+ .

Will do probably as a way to get out of studying for midterms. Will also need to learn some riffs. Been playing exclusively chords / guitar solo for months now.

Can someone explain eBay to me?

This auction is for a more beat up version of the same pedal, same time period. IT sold for twice the asking price of mine

WTF how does this happen? It also sold for more than a recent Script version which are the most desirable.

Same year model also sold for $59 a week ago

Thats ebay for you. I was bidding on a coronado and lost out (it went for over a grand) A few days later I got mine on ebay in a regular auction for just over Â£500. Go figure...

read this as "That's ebats for you" which would definitely sum it up

I'd imagine both the time of day and level of alcohol would have some effect on what things end up going for..

Ebay is crazy.

Here is a copy of Star Wars RISK: The Original Trilogy Amy got in a Charity shop and we haven't played because it's too freaking complicated.

Â£17!!!

Star wars risk sounds badass. I've only played Normal risk and LOTR risk which is pretty sweet.

dist+s go fairly inexpensively on ebay all the time. I just think the amount of them that have been produced in it's production lifetime generally exceed it's demand. I sold that one you sold me for something like $50. there are quite a lot of pedals like this actually. some of the best deals in guitar gear on ebay are pedals. just because there way more in existence than the demand could possibly cover. just don't get hung up on having to have some super specific model and you can get stupid deals on pedals on ebay.

it sold for twice as much because it's got m0j0. c'mon.
