Just wondering, as I would like to get one one day and am curious as to what the Boss experts think they are worth.
Let's hear it!

Hey PunkFloyd,
A couple of weeks ago I picked up an almost mint VB-2 at a local pawn shop for AU$250 (around US$225) which is well under the US$500+ they seem sell for on eBay. I would have paid probably up to around AU$300 but no more.
I also plan to find the last two pieces of the holy trinity (SP-1 & SG-1) locally, might take a few years but I can wait.
My VB-2:

Right now not more than 150 euros, if it's the last pedal to make my collection complete I probaply will pay 1000 euros. But my collection is far from complete so that won't happen soon.

I payed way too much for mine 3-4 years ago, around US $350.
The pedal as such is of course not worth that, I seldom use it, but I hope itīs a good investment

I got mine as part of a trade including a mid 70s Big Muff.. but if I was paying for a mint one, I'd look around $300us. I'd only do this if I was serious about it.. and I might still look for a cleaner one one day. I have a line on an SG-1 locally, but it's hard times, and I don't know if I can do it!  |

| I've got since two weeks a VB-2 to my collectie. Very happy with it! Sounds really great. My VB-2 is like a new one. No (or some real small one's) paint chips or something like that, with box and manual. I payd 200 euro's with shipping costs. A lot of money but here in the Netherlands, mostly of those VB's (if you can find one!) go's for 250 euro's without box! |

Wow that's in wonderful condition! Since posting this thread I've managed to find one locally for $270AU which is great. It's got a few scratches, but thats okay, i'm not a collector so it will be getting gigged alot.
What city are you in? I'm in sydney.
I'm trying to think where I saw a slow gear selling a few weeks ago for a great price. If I can remember I'll let you know.

I would love to score an SG-1 for cheap, but I think most of those deals are long past.. too many people are informed about something's value via the interwebs.
I should have grabbed one at $200 @ Capusle Music a couple years ago.. I'm feeling stupid now, since I have a line on one and might pay "fair market price" for it... used condition, probably $350?  I hope he has a soft heart and sells it to me for cheaper. |

I wish laurie!
Does everyone here agree that $250 Aus is kinda reasonable for a SG-1 SS with no box or manual that has a couple of paint chips?
Its what my friend paid for his |

Yes. About $100 under the current market price I'd say... |

It's a good price for one as they seem to go for more, but I wouldnt pay more than $100 for one in terms of functionality. For what it actually does I'd much rather use a volume pedal (or volume knob for that matter!)
I can see why collectors would pay heaps for it, as it is rare, but after borrowing it off a friend, it seemed clear to me why it wasn't a big seller. |

Yeah she's certainly a looker.
So how do you like your VB-2? Scratches are not a problem, I love beaten up pedals just as much as minty ones, it just adds to the mojo.
I'm in Melbourne so unless you've been down south lately the SG-1 you spotted is most likely far far away.

I can't think of any sound the VB-2 makes that would be useful for anything I'd play and since I'm not a collector of rare Boss pedals, Im not really willing to pay more than $20. There.
Anyway, there one in mint condition with box on the bay right now - I'm not sure, but I think the BIN was $450. Go figure

How much would YOU pay for a VB-2
