You may be right. It's also where we regularly buy gear so that may be a factor.

That makes sense, I heard that regulars even get a discount on used gear sometimes, which is not common on CG.
I still cannot believe they keep re-selling this defective L2000 as if nothing is happening! The neck is totally back bowed!
I can imagine the GC store that initially got the bass in (probably as a trade), does not want to lose money either scrapping the bass or having it fixed (New neck is $350 according to G&L), so they just tell the receiving store to keep putting it back for sale maybe in the hopes that an unfortunate customer won't notice the issue and will keep it.
Someone go buy this OG Origin Cali76 and put me out of my misery! 
$699.
For comparison, the cheapest one on Reverb is $1200 at the moment.

No code needed, but you won’t see the discount until it’s in your cart

I'm not entirely sure what's going on here but something doesn't look right!

It also has a DiMarzio Model One in place of the original pickup. It actually sounds good but the switch is now a 3 way toggle.
Can't even be bothered to take a picture of the body.

I ordered it from a GC in Colorado. No mention that the neck is horribly bowed and truss rod nut was sheared off of the truss rod. Great condition other than that!
Now back up for sale at the local GC (Fairlawn). Still has the picture of the back of a Schecter bass in the ad, too.

I'm about to return a Peavey 410TX cab to GC. It was a great price! Too bad one of the speakers is dead.
You wouldn't know it playing by itself. Didn't distort or anything and the voice coil wasn't seized up. It was just very quiet compared to the other 410 cabs I had here. So I measured the resistance and it's an 8Ω cab, but measured 16-ishΩ. After disassembly, I discovered one of the speakers had no reading... so it's a turd.
Dollars to donuts says, it will be up for sale, not repaired, very shortly.
If you see a $129.99 Peavey 410TX at GC Mayfield Hts, don't get it unless you want to replace a speaker.
It's also missing 2 of the feet.

They should relabel it a 3x10

Except with one speaker dead in the series connected pair (which effectively takes the other one out of the circuit too), it's really a 16 ohm 2x10 with two 10 in. passive radiators.
Just have them ship it to the store closest to you. It’s free that way and you can check it out there and show them if it’s damaged or poorly packed. This way you don’t risk any $$. I’ve done that a couple times, I don’t trust GC really but they do end up with nice gear occasionally and their return policy is bulletproof in my experience.
