Iron Ether Appreciation Society

Alright I see your point. By I hate the price gauging, I meant I hate buying stuff for the express purpose of reselling it. That’s real price gauging. Buying things when the price is inflated and selling for the inflated price isn’t price gauging. So yeah, I stand by my price.

I’m happy to pm you my final invoice. $494.98 USD. You’re correct, and your definition of price gauging does not match my behavior. Also I said don’t crap on me for the price, as in I am indifferent to how you feel about the price.

I’m a senior in high school that’s worked a lot to buy pedals and basses, with my only regular gig being playing at church. Should I not be allowed to own a status headless since they’re hard to find, or my vintage p bass, or my stingray since they’re expensive, or my iron ether FMeron on the way, or my 3leaf Chromatron?

I’d also say the over 200% markup of a $600 FMeron is better than the 150% markup of a $725 dubterrograph.

oh man...so much to unpack here.

Heads up… I’m putting a like new Xero D up for sale. I’m going to charge $275 + shipping which is what it would cost if Taylor had one in stock. If no one here wants it here (yeah right) it’ll be packaged with some other pedals I’m selling to fund a new synth.

Edit: I guess I should add that the first person that says “I’ll take it” will get it.

You’re the man, Matt!
 
A big mistake.. lol. And now an ODB is sitting around waiting for another juicy trade. The world keeps a-spinnin’. :whistle:

Yeah I didn't understand the ODB for wizard fuzz, bit to each their own. You seem to get caught up in the hype even worse than I do.

Sorry for calling you out on the trade but IE stuff is super hot right now and seemed sketch AF to trade away one literally last week and then jump at someone else's (who happens to be offering it at a cool price)...literally a flippers wet dream and this scenario quacks like a duck almost as bad as yesterday's.

All’s good. I indeed get caught up for the chance to try things and sometimes regret it after finding out it’s not exactly my cup of tea. I’m pretty excited to get to try the XD and Nimbus SE together though… Lived and learn’d.

The big question is will it be available again in a week ;)
