Have you guys noticed?

[Music Man]

I check e-bay almost everyday for different gear just for the heck of it. I shouldn't because I have to funds to buy anything at this time but I guess it is just a habit. On my daily check is EB, PRS, Mesa, and others. So my question to those who might go on ebay like I do. Have you noticed that the amount of used EBMM is so minimal compared to others like Fen, Gib, Prs, etc.
I have an idea of why this is so, or I guess more like an opinion but I would like to get yours.
Actually one day I spent a good hour looking for used EBMM guitars on the net and I just could not find any. So I guess it is not just on Ebay but everywhere.
Any way share your thoughts on this if you can.

Simple answer really....the EBMM's are the best and have longer staying power....the others don't....my opinion of course......

Another answer "could" be...EBMM's are not as well known as G!bby...F**der, or Ibanez.......so, fewer guitars out there....but, I stick with my first answer.

I've kept an eye on the AL guitars on E bay since about Oct last year. It seems to go in fits and starts.

Spud, I saw quite a few AL's a couple of months back, did any of them take your fancy?

Still wondering if a silo with a floyd is going to appear for about £300!!!

Think I live on the wrong side of the pond!

Ha!
Just as I write that, I notice this:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300014286160

I've asked the question about shipping to the UK. Does anyone have a rough idea of the cost?

Only slight concern would be not taking PP....

 

[Smellybum]

depends if he's cool or not
I've had some guitars from the states where they've charged me $60-$80 and some where they've wanted $250!!!


USPS are the cheaper option - but you get more nervous when it doesn't show up in this country !

UPS/FEDEX are great - you even know when the delivery driver is taking a dump! - but the cost more.

I paid £130 UPS to ship mine.

There was one or 2 on ebay' Jimmy - but there was usually something putting me off
- E.G. - I prefer a natural headstock to the matching h/stock.

I was hankering after a Limited Efition AL - I fancy the rosewood neck and MM90's - It would be a great partner to my Black Les Paul (with remnants of Gold plating left!)

I keep looking!

I think this is probably because EBMM sells a lot more basses than guitars, but I could be wrong. Maybe bass players are more fickle than us 6-stringers???

If you think about it, it's pretty simple:

Would you want to part w/ your EBMM guitar? I plan on playing mine until arthritis has set in (then I'll just put them on stands & admire their beauty)
