I can't believe that these guys actually think that someone will pay that much money for their pedals!  |

| What's the Ebay charges on an auction like that? Some of these sellers are advertising their overpriced pedals week out, week in and I can't understand why they do it when they never sell. |

Hi Bossarea & Guys
This is a real company with a real shop front In Sydney Aust.
They also have their EvilBay Store.
While I don't agree with their pricing on some items.
It's cheap advertising,
I have an acquaintance that has a guitar store in an industrial area,
One afternoon, he explained the ins & outs of why, he does the same thing.
It's one of the cheapest forms of being out there ....
And besides, look at all of us talking about it, & spreading the word about this place & it's EvilBay store-page.
In the end it's just business, & we don't have to buy from them, though I feel for the, uninformed muso that buys & those inflated prices.
Perhaps a similar other reason, is that they have other stock-items to sell.
Disclaimer -- I am in no way affiliated with the above businesses.
Regards Dr. B b

| In the US the Guitar Center chain is notorious for overpriced ebay auctions. I have though in the past called a store directly and successfully got them to agree to a lower price and do the deal outside of ebay. This way they only pay ebay's listing fees. It is essentially an advertising fee for the item. |

Ebay is just like fishing. Every now and then someone gets a bite with the worst bait possible.... |
