This is UNREAL (absurd Akai Deep Impact content)

This ebay auction is ridiculous. I don't believe the winner will pay this kind of money. If you look at the bid history, someone bidded $801 when it was at $152

Makes perfect sense:
When you bid on something on ebay, you enter in a maximum bid. So the dude who was winning at $152 had entered in a maximum bid of $800. The next guy put in a higher maximum bid, so the price went from $152 straight to $801.

The problem with eBay is that they are totally courting the buyers and care less about sellers.

For example - sellers can NO LONGER leave negative feedback for buyers that don't pay, etc. If you can only leave positive feedback, why bother at all?

I would rather sit with an item on CL for 6 months than give any more of my $$ to evilBay

Yeah, I'm also disappointed that eBay has chosen to throw sellers under the bus. I buy and sell on eBay, and I think buyers and sellers should have equal rights. I'm not ready to call it "evilBay" yet, but I'm getting there!

Yep.... I float it out there every so often. I don't really want the hassle of selling it online and having to ship it. But at $1000.00 shoot, I should maybe think about it.

(this is not an attempt to sell it here, but seeing as it was already pointed out...)

Ha! Bid retraction... I wonder was it pre-purchase guilt, nagging significant other or just the realisation "holy crap i'm gonna win this & I don't have that kind of cash!".

Bought by someone with zero feedback

I live in Japan and was lucky enough to pick up my used DIs for about $100 each shortly after they'd been discontinued. Personally I think they're great units and wouldn't give 'em up easily. When they appear on the bay they seem to be hitting Lovetone + levels of stupidity but they do appear over here from time to time. I've had a nosey around just now without much luck ~ there are a couple of Unibass rigs available, one at around $300, and I'll surely put a flag up if I should see any DIs around in the near future.
Certainly wouldn't hold my breath for Akai to re-release though. Admittedly I've only heard rumours but all things point to the DI being sent to Room 101 for eternity.....

This reminds me of the green big muffs that sell for rediculous peices now.

I bought mine for probably 30$ and I remember it being considered a junk pedal at the time.
