yeah I do...its just a bugbear...knocking $50 of something used compared to new is a bit unrealistic....there's about four or five local items coming up in a cycle for weeks now..dudes lower your prices, simple really :)

Yeah...I see that crap all the time...theres this one eq that has been on for 8 solid months because I went to another of his sales last spring and the dude tried to sell it to me too....you would think he would lower the price or give up or something.:rolleyes:
 
I've got several old guitars, Tiescos from the 60s, I never think of them as vintage, they barely qualify as collectable but for some odd reason I like them, they are great conversation pieces and look cool hanging on the wall (I have good guitars for playing and oddball ones for decoration.) I seriously doubt any of them sold for more than $50 new and $25 was the most I paid for any of them (I like yard sales.) I have seen similar models listed on CL as vintage for many more $ and had a good laugh about it. I guess P. T. Barnam was right when he said, "There is a sucker born every minute."

I've gotten two very good deals on pedals on Craigslist, from individuals.

A Boss CE-5 Chorus Ensemble, virtually untouched, for $35.

A Fulltone OCD in excellent condition for $80.

Pedals are usually a good deal on Craigslist, as are used mics and other miscellaneous stuff. Guitars not so much but I see the occasional deal.

I have seen Tiescos from the 60s going for thousands online...I had one early on...it was blue with 4 pickups and had 4 on top and 2 on bottom on the headstock...I paid $20 for it...seen it going for $4000
 
At least in regards to vehicles, "vintage" is 20 years old. I assume technically this applies to guitars as well, which insanely means that 1989 is vintage. The term "vintage" has taken on such a positive connotation that people tend to forget it's just a fancy word for 20 years or older.
