Trade-in Value Approximation?

[isher1992]

I've tried and tried to sell my Grunge pedal to make money for a DS-1 to muck with and mod, or possibly find a Black Big Muff to do the same. For months, I have had ad upon ad on CraigsList, unable to get rid of this frickin' thing.

So...I'm beginning to think I'm going to have to... GASP.

...Trade it in to Guitar Center. Not something I'd like to do myself, after getting burned a couple of times on stuff I've traded in there. But...

Last resort.

Sooo... Is there anyway to figure out about how much I could get out of this for a trade-in? I still have the instruction manual and the pedal looks flawless (Which most likely won't matter.)

Try ebay before going to gc. Gc lied to my face on my last trade in. "We can only offer you $450 for that bass, man, sorry. We can only sell it for $600." 2 days later it was up for $750, and the next day it was gone.

If they'll take it for at least 30, that's all I really need. I'd rather not deal with the hassle of eBay.

20-25% of new

At GC you can expect extremely bad values for pedals, in my experience. Worse than most stuff.

Yeah..pretty gouging on pedals especially..Throw it up on the classifieds. SOMEONE might want it..

 

[isher1992]

I would definitely throw it up in the Classifieds if I was a supporting member. ^_^'

I got ten bucks for my digitech grunge in almost new condition at gc. The only reason I traded it in was to get 15% off on a $1000 svt.

I think I'm just gonna have to go to GameStop and drop off all my old games and just keep the Grunge.

Trading gear to Center - great idea.

Perhaps you should just trade them your wallet for some kind words.

TRADING = TOTAL RIPOFF

 

[isher1992]

I admit it's a rip off. I just don't have many other ways to get rid of it. I think I'm just gonna keep the thing and try and find other stuff to sell.

80 dollar pedal new, you might get 20 if your lucky, just keep it.

Use it for a rehouse. Sleeper pedals are fun!

It's a simple equation, figure the absolute least you could stand to part with it for while still harboring an insomnia inducing resentment. They might give you half of that. It would be much more gratifying to give it away.

I would but it's a DigiTech, which means it's floor-mounted.
