Okay let us turn this into a game and guess what the final price of the auction will be.
I will go first. �179,- excluding Post and Package, yes people, here in the UK we know how to hike up prices when it comes to analogue delays.
Who is next??? |

Oh sure that is a good price, but you may be better of buying one of the reissue Maxon's. I noticed you have one too in your collection.
Dreamer me??? Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa |

No, I meant the seller is a deamer....
Mine is an old AD-900, not the re-issue  I thinks it's the most I've paid for a pedal (with the exception of the ME-50, GR-20, Aura, etc.)
I think that price is a little high for the DM-2 or DM-3. But, then I've noticed that the price of the Maxon AD-900 seems to have gone up, too.

Yikes.
Grace and peace,

Well, you were slightly high with your price on the DM-2, I was intending to bid on it, but wrote the auction end time down wrong :(

Steve, both prices for the Maxon and the DM-2 are purely insane, people who will pay these prices are truely out of their mind, or they may swim in it. Love the decription of the Maxon, yep you really want a pedal with hardly any fingerprints on. Heh in what world do we live?? What do people think we will be using those pedals for? For looking at them at night, while the Lava lamp is switched on in the corner??
These things are still tools, musical tools, and they need to be used. Okay ananlogue delays sound a little different from the digital ones, but when you compare them they all sound amazingly the same. You could buy a fairly cheap one and just be happy that you picked up an analogue delay for not all that much, because really.............they all do the same.
Sometimes it may be nice to own the real thing, and to pay that little bit more, but these prices here, no they are certainly too much.
Okay some of the folks who will be buying these pedals, may sit on them for 8 yrs. and then sell them on. They probably treat them as an investment. I guess I am not of that breed. I am interested in what you can do with these tools, not really in what the logo says or how they look like ect. But then I am interested in comparing brand A to B, and that is probably where the illness kicks in |

| I'll be honest, I was going to bid up to �180 on this, purely from a collection point of view. I do use all the pedals I buy, but this isn't one I'd normally seek out, so I thought I'd seize the opportunity and pick one up. Except I didn't. *shrugs* |

Like I said, it's not on my wishlist, but since it was there, i was happy to pay.
I found a DC-2 for �30 once. You win some, you lose some. |

�180 is a lot but perhaps not unexpected. Boss don't make any analog delays anymore and they do sound a lot different from the digital ones on sale today. Other pedals like the SG-1 and SP-1 are rarer but mainly sought by collectors. The DM-2 is sought by both players and collectors and this might drive the prices up.
There still a lot of them around so they can be had cheaper but in a few years we might consider �180 a bargain. Maybe mine will constitute a considerable part of my retirement fund |
