This one seems like an anomaly -- probably because it's the only one available right at this moment... normally they bid a little lower than this. "kegthinner" and "stretchcannon" are fighting over it, and it looks like it's getting personal.

| I think one of the reasons why Roland/Boss discontinues certain pedals, other than not selling enough or discontinued parts, is so that they can maintain an image of making great products, and the image is enhanced by the fact that even products that are discontinued, are still highly sought after. Not making a re-issue series probably helps them sell more pedals today, because now that there is a craze for Boss pedals, someone has stashed away PH-3s, OC-3s, etc., hoping that once a newer version gets put out, they can put these on ebay and get high prices since its discontinued. Just my conspiracy theory. |

Yer Typical Bidding War, once you spot this, stay away, turn over in your sleep and look for next pedal, do not give in to this craze as people who do this are either inexperienced Ebayers or they swim and bath in it and do not know how to invest their money savely. |
