Guitar Center, local shops, and pawn shops alike are picked clean because of Black Friday and late Christmas sales. About how long after Christmas do they start filling up with returns and trade-ins, and stuff starts hitting pawn shops and Craigslist? It's not necessarily a matter of getting a good deal, but supply and selection.
Hey stranger! I hope lots of people get 2014 MIA P and J basses this xmas that they don't want and I will find a bargain at a pawn shop.....sigh
