Lol!!
Apparently it's a software glitch so they won't sell it for that price, but I found that amusing!

|  | Registered User | | | | | you can sometimes find old gibsons victories and les paul money basses priced pretty reasonably, never played any of them though, so maybe it's a buyer beware situation like dave88 said |

I bought an Eden 210xlt cab a few weeks ago. It arrived just like the picture below, sorry for it being so blurry: 
Not even a thin layer of bubble wrap. Needless to say, there was a terrible rattle in one of the speakers and I immediately returned it. The local GC here made it right by discounting another item pretty significantly and giving me credit for the shipping.

I don't know how anything made it safely to my house. I also do not have a guitar center near me, but the gear that I want isn't always around where I am either.

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2009 Location: near Dallas, Texas | | | I bought a used pedal the other day from GC, it arrived quickly, and packed in a huge 12" x 12" box (may have been larger) with tons of peanuts and bubble wrap. This is for a beat up, cheap pedal. I was impressed.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2008 Location: NYC | | | I'm glad I have several GC's in my area, so I'm willing to take a chance. With the 30 day return policy on used gear, you're only eating the shipping costs (which are very low IME) if you have to return it.
More finds:
Aguilar AG500SC ~ $399.99
314-918-7660
St. Louis, MO
Aguilar GS210 8ohm ~ $299.99
305-271-2600
Miami, FL

I played it today, but I don't need another bass let alone another MM humbucker style bass when I've got a Stingray and an L2K.

I had one bass that wasn't packed to good put still got to me ok. All of the others were packed very well. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: Chicago | | | I just bought a bass from them that was well packed, bubble wrap and peanuts. A few years ago I bought a rack preamp, and that was so woefully packed. I think it really depends on the store. |
