It always seems to be cabs that have the "I don't want to ship/ local pick up only" attached to them. You never see anyone selling a pedal saying local pickup only.
I guess if he's not an under-employed musician then he can afford to wait in hopes that there may be the slightest chance that someone in New England, who is also a member of Talkbass, happens to see his ad and just so happens to want exactly what he has for sale. Meanwhile there's 10 other guys in other states who want it bad enought to pay the $75 to have it shipped. Maybe the guy in Denver who wants the cab isn't an under-employed musician either and would even pay $100.
