Why is reverb suddenly the exclusive price guide for everything?

I use my "last time I saw one for sale it was" X Amount
then I check Ebay and reverb
and: Woha
holy heck
those things were like 800 bux in the 80`s.

OR
Damn, they were 4k a few years ago.

Rad! I had a TB1000A serial #319. It needed a fair bit of fixing though so am trading it with Kevin from EGC for a new Travis Bean Designs one. Even with its problems the old one was still awesome though.

Bastard! That was the one on Trade Me... I had the leading bid on that before it got withdrawn. Still pissed off about that.

My apologies, I couldn’t pass up viewing it and making an offer once the guy contacted me though. If it makes you feel any better the neck on it is quite bowed which is obviously a pretty big problem for an aluminium necked guitar.

Ah, it is the seller I'm pissed at. It is one thing to withdraw an auction before anyone bids on it, but to do so after the reserve is met... dirty pool. Guy must've been an idiot though. I got an email from Trade Me saying he'd told them he'd sold it to another member... so presumably still paid the fees.

The bowed neck makes me feel slightly better. But the fact you've traded it for an EGC kind of nullifies that...
