$70 dollars for a Boss BF-2?

Sign in to disble this ad
I really want a Boss BF-2, and since its discontinued, I have to buy it used. I have this weird thing that if I buy something used it has to be in great shape, mint if possible. Anyways, there is a BF-2 (http://www.daddys.com/used/?itemnumber=BOS5967) in great shape. Is $70 too much or should i go for it?

You could hold out and try to get it for $20 cheaper, but that one looks like it's in pretty clean shape. If you really want it, go for it.

I was under the impression that the BF-2 was one of the best flangers out there, and what do you think would be more feasible?
