Janek Gwizdala Pedal Clearout

I had AI run a comparison with market values. Pricing all seems well within reason, with several good deals and no "Once owned by Janek Gwizdala" premiums tacked on. He's selling a lot of them for less than I would have, and his name has infinitely more cachet than mine.

(These fluctuate wildly because they’re discontinued and collectible.)

🟥 HIGHER-END PRICES

3Leaf Audio Octabvre MkI — $700
Used range: $650–$900
→ This is actually fair for a white MkI, but it feels high because the market is insane.
Not a gouge — just a rare pedal.

Miura K3 DI & Preamp — $400
Used range: $300–$350
→ Slightly high, but Miura scarcity pushes prices up.

Moogerfooger MF‑107S FreqBox — $600
Used range: $450–$550
→ A bit high, but Moogerfoogers are volatile.

Moogerfooger MF‑102 Ring Mod — $450
Used range: $350–$450
→ Top of market, but not unreasonable.

Moogerfooger CP‑251 — $850
Used range: $700–$850
→ High end of market, but these are collector pieces.

Electro‑Harmonix / Sovtek Small Stone — $750
Used range: $500–$700
These can hit $750, but that’s the extreme top.

🎯 Summary: What’s actually happening on this page
Most Aguilar pedals are underpriced

Most Boss pedals are underpriced or fair

Darkglass is priced normally

Moogerfoogers are high but not outrageous

The only real “ouch” is the Sovtek Small Stone (and that's only by $50)

The Octabvre looks high but is actually fair for a MkI

Many items are genuinely good deals

Not sure about AI and the Darkglass Element? Darkglass has it listed on their website for 199.00. AI says used 200 - 250? Maybe Darkglass just lowered the price and AI didn't notice?
