Prices. This is crazy.

[NOVAX]

Fender pricing is all over the place. A friend (Retail Dealer) just offered me the Road Worn
50's P or 60's J, either one for $850+tax. Those basses seem to be going for over $1200 at MF. Go figure. Different prices for different dealers? What's going on here?

It's called economic turmoil.

Holy F-Sharp!!! .

LOL

More like economic favoritism. Sickening. Anyhoo- should I break and get a 60's J Relimex
at that price? Opinions? I'll have to eat my words about not buying stuff.
That Roadworn J gives my CS 64 a serious run for the (less than half as much) money.
Besides- I could use a backup (decoy) Currently gassing bigtime

Wasn't the Geddy around 6-700 hundred when it first came out?

For quite a long time, the street price was $629.00 plus tax.

 

[Mike Shevlin]

That is the selling price before taxes.

So the list price is about 2 grand?

So the list price is about 2 grand?

$1553.75 with taxes added in Toronto, Canada. Five months ago with taxes I paid $959.37. Difference $594.38.

I don't understand why governments think printing more money will help, when history clearly shows otherwise.

The short run trade-off between inflation and unemployment.

More money=lowered unemployment.

I check GC last night $990 out the door, but they didn't have one in stock. With a case and tax it would have been $1123

ALL Fender prices increased by 30%. At least in Canada it did..... I was told it was coming by a few stores back in October, it was supposed to hit before December.

no
the road worn basses seem so dumb to me
i dont understand why anyone would pay so much money for an instument with chipped paint

My guitarist saw a Gibson Les Paul for 599.00 at GC right after christmas. Went back there yesterday to look around at their "Presidents Day Sale" and saw it still hanging on the wall (for 899.00!) When he asked a salesman about it he replied, we had to raise the price, so we can knock down 10% for our sale ***?

 

[VisualShock]

some dealers will try to make lots of money of one sale, to cover costs like staff wages
others will try to make lots of sales

Lets not start the whole "Relic sucks thing".

I saw a few guitars that grabbed my attention but nothing really special, there were a lot of Schecter basses though.
