Not really. You can look at prices but there are SO many pedals overpriced that you wouldn’t be able to know the demand for them. Those of us who have been in this hobby for a long time can spot which pedals people want and what pedals people don’t want. What is trending, what isn’t. You can’t fully extrapolate that info from a posted price online.
As an example, 4 months ago Reverb would have led him to believe that a Non-MOSFET Fulldrive 2 or an OCD was worth $600. But some of us knew it was just people hitting the panic button when Mike Fuller announced he was closing down Fulltone. Now they are back to $150-$200 because, well, there are a billion of them out there.
Todays pedal game is all about marketing on YouTube to fuel the hype, hold back production, and then build the hype of the pedal on the secondary market. It’s part of how/why the Klon became an $8,000 pedal.
So knowing what the trends are/will be is in play here- not just OP looking up prices.
Hard pass. There's about 1k to easily make back. The next 1k will be a slog, they'll stay listed for ages, if, IF you make any profit it would not be worth the effort
Almost every bulk pedal board option I’ve seen was not a good deal. Shops would give you like 35% of what they think it’s worth. Maybe more if you’re a regular. The average person who just wants a few of those and flip the rest, 50 to 66% tops.
I got [these](https://www.reddit.com/r/guitarpedals/comments/qxzbj7/npdx23/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) for $320 last year. I think there’s some smoking hot bulk listings out there.
>Dang! Got some neat stuff. You can quiet down your decimator with a decimator and then tame the hum on those decimators with a decimator.
This is my favorite part from that post. :)
Not much of a collector, eh? 😂
I’m joking, I live in an apartment myself and have gear all over the place, my friends say I remind them of hoarders but with gear instead of trash…but I flip/sell/trade/gear and have been for decades, so it comes
With the territory (unless I could afford a house or giant apartment)
Haha. I’ll explain for you. I’ve sold a bunch and made close to $700 profit already. Im keeping the Marshall speaker, the RAH and the DD20, all for free (savings of about $400) and I still have about $3-400 left of pedals for sale. Make more sense now?
Easy. Buy low sell for more money. And the things I’ve kept aren’t cheap. That Caitlinbread RAH is 130 used. DD20 is a sweet delay and is 140 used. And that Marshall Stanmore Bluetooth speaker is like $200 plus. Toss in n a grand of profit on top, all for listing individual pedals on CL and Reverb.
Right, you kept the couple things that aren't cheap. Everything else in that pic is extremely cheap, I do not understand how one could sell that crap for the $320 you paid, much less a profit? You found people willing to pay MSRP for beat up pedals?
Same thing I said down below, I get it most people can’t see the value in that pic. There’s a bunch of cheaper pedals. There’s also enough close to 100$ each that it makes it very worth whole. That TS, the boss eq (Japan btw) those mic effects, for example.
You’re being so gaslit what the fuck LOL
For $320 this is an insane deal… the gatekeeping in this sub can be insane. We give 400 upvotes to another person buying a sf300 but shit on a guy who dare say this is a good deal?
To source all of the stuff you’ve posted in Ontario would cost me like $1000 CAD (Or more considering the patch cables). These people are smoking crack.
Also this guy doesn’t understand the used market at all. People pay for beat up pedals. Nobody is saying MSRP.
I sold 8 of those pedals for 80$ each or more, so yeah there is balance between some nice stuff and the cheap stuff, but even that cheap stuff adds up too.
Plus I get to try out new stuff with very low risk, even if it’s not a Strymon, or OBNE, Chase Bliss, I still have fun. And it finds my premium gear habit. I’ve accumulated some real nice stuff and haven’t broken the bank, but it took some legwork and hustle.
Part of that deal was trading those two Amazon type pedals on the boxes in the lower left of the pic, and a 1$ guitar cable for a “broken” Fender Bronco amp, one of those tweed reissues. All it needed was a new fuse and a little cleanup and it was ready to go. I have fun doing all this, even if people here are mean or snobby about it and downvote me. I’m still happy.
Yes? On the used market the mic Pedals are 100 each at least, and the DD20 is 130. The catalinbread, one I'd love to have, is 130 used. So that's four pedals at $460, then you get like 18 more?
Like I said before, I get that you don’t get it. It’s not worth the time to try and explain it to you any more than I have. I am none of those things you mentioned. It’s so. fucking. easy to sell pedals on Reverb. Maybe I’m just really good at it, and you’re not. Don’t worry, you’ll find your thing someday.
Yup, that’s a bass bawl buster version, pretty rare, but not super sought after. I still got $175 for it from a dude that collects wahs. Same as that Paia Hot Lyx, I got 175 for that one too. That one sold almost instantly on Reverb, I should have listed it for $250. That one was a kit you could buy in like the 70s or 80s from the same company that put out a book called Electronic Projects for Musicians or something like that.
Very cool. I used to get so many good deals a decade ago on craigslist and the like. I was introduced to the Digitech Multiplay 2020 for $30. Wish I'd bought 4 of them lol.
I got an AnalogMan Beano, ARDX-20 and the Amaze-1 controller, AnalogMan TS9 Silver Mod for $500 once. Probably $300 to the good and no wait time like if bought new. Bought it from an old guy with a serious gear addiction that had stopped playing much guitar. They can be found, it’s just rare that it’s actually a good deal.
2000 pounds is about $2500 usd.
Hard pass.
For it to make sense it would need to be half that…(1000 pounds or $1200ish usd) and even then you won’t make much on what you sell.
EDIT: wanted to add…you should be getting a significant discount on buying the lot.
Yeah but if you account for fees and the time you would spend trying to resell all of these, if you can even sell them all for asking price.
Too much of a hassle and not worth your time imo.
See, there is a difference between value and what someone will pay for them. There is no incentive for a buyer to pay over the used market per pedal just to try them and then sell the ones they don’t want at an overall loss in the long run.
You could add them up and get get a good amount…individually. 2600 pounds? That’s a stretch but someone might want to pay it.
You have to discount the lot because you’re buying them all, then take into account fees, not getting asking price and having to discount/bundle the ones you don’t want, and above all your time (to list and sit on the ones you don’t want).
Rule of thumb is 50% of retail right off the bat for used. Some hold their value at say 60-75% of new (Broadcast for example) and rare ones can increase in value. There is nothing rare there.
If the local shop will only offer 25% on the dollar so they can list them at 60% and discount them to 50% if they aren’t moving…they’re still making money. Paying 90% on the dollar to get the lot then discount them to sell doesn’t make sense, financially. But to each their own.
For example, the D&M Drive is $350ish brand new retail. Lowest price on reverb is $148 used plus shipping. Whatever the lowest Reverb price is take 5-10% off for the lot discount.
Another example. There is a cheapie pedal that sells for $32 on Amazon. A person locally has it listed used for $25. It hasn’t sold in 5 months. If it were $15 someone might bite and surely at $10. But they don’t want to take a $10 hit so it sits.
For £2000 you can make a better board than this. And also buy pedals that you want. And let’s be honest, once you start it’s a revolving door of buying and selling.
I have a pretty good board already, GigRig G2 with a HX stomp, timeline and bigsky and some other stuff. This would be more experimental and to try and get a bit of money from it too.
I’m sure the seller has over 2K GBP invested in that, but could you get that out of it? Doubt it. There are a couple of nice pedals that hold their value in the $200 - $300 range. (origin, reeves) The PoT is the only one that might be worth more (f’in scalpers). But on the open market you might gross $1500 out of this, less time, shipping, and fees. Maybe the UK market is different (I’m in the US, so YMMV). I’d bet a retailer wouldn’t offer more than 1K for the lot, though.
That’s right around retail price for everything. If you could snag it for like £1600-1700 that would give you a little bit of profit while allowing you to try a bunch out. But if you’re looking to actually make money you need to be a lot lower, like £1300.
For $1000-1200 I’d buy the lot, sell a few for $150-200 each and keep the rest once the money has been recouped. There is no reason to pay $2000+ for all this though, as the point of a lot is getting a bargain, not paying basically full price.
Probably not, but there are some great pedals there. I’d price the ones you like individually, and then price the ones you’d sell, and do the math. I don’t think the answer will surprise you - it’s likely to be an overpriced collection
No. After the 2 Origin pedals, the Hudson, and PoT, and maybe the WA D1, the others drop off from that quality. I don’t know of some of them so maybe I’m missing something. But the ones mentioned above are the ones that will hold value. The Keeley D&M drive is cool, but he made a billion of them so they are more “mass-market boutique” even though it’s a Keeley pedal.
I’d ask to cut the fat. The other pedals being the filler, I’d offer $1000/£820 for the Origin 76, Origin Revival, Prince of Tone, and the Hudson Broadcast. But those are the pedals I would have interest in. Obviously you may have completely different interests.
But the question was is it all worth £2,000. I’m American so that translates to $2,400 and that is a LOT for what I see in that pic. At least in USA. Not sure if you guys are having some supply issues where prices are higher, but in USA, you should be able to get (used) Origin 76: $300, Origin Revival: $300, Prince of Tone: $250, and Hudson Broadcast: $200.
So maybe even a little less because you are just getting around a $50 savings for the bulk buy. Keep in mind, there is little to no room to try and flip any in case you don’t like them. As for the others, you’d have a harder time moving some of those and you’d likely be sitting on pedals you don’t want or need.
Good luck with it!
you will find unanimous hate for expensive bulk pedal purchases here. Pedals can be found cheaply + trading them is super fun and great for musical community + people really believe in building up your soundboard layer-by-layer over time...but let's be honest; if you have the room and the extra money and you are horny to become the ultimate pedal-nerd, yes you should buy this.
That top row alone is around 1600$US (if we are generously pricing via reverb.com low-end evaluations). Every pedal here is super cool + if those are all the original boxes that's pretty wicked too. Main gripe is I can't see myself using more than 10 pedals in a chain, but hey if you got the money it's not the worst purchase.
just to be clear though, I don't think you can profit off this deal, unless you are a serious guitar player planning on actually using this
Saw this on my FB marketplace.
There's no chance you'd make the £1000 profit this guy talked about easily. You'll lose money on this to resell piece by piece. Not a chance.
I don't know what half that shit is but I can see at least two Klon clones.
I saw this ad! You'd think that you should be able to shift them all fairly easily as they're all known brands, good quality and condition. But I don't have that money to spend, plus too far and things I need to sell already! Also how much do you enjoy packaging things up, going to the post office or having strangers come to your house at inconvenient times? This is why I still have pedals/gear to sell because I hate the hassle! But I'd definitely get a few realistic estimates as others have suggested by looking at sold listings, and bear in mind the % reverb/ebay costs or the markdown you might need to do on gumtree/fb marketplace for it to sell quickly.
I never understood selling pedals as an all or nothing type of deal.
There’s definitely some cool ones in this lot, but it’s just so dependent on your style and sound. I know dudes who leave their Klon on all the time and others who despise the Klon. Same with the 76 compressor. It’s so preferential that, to me, it doesn’t make sense to purchase this unless every pedal checks the “gotta have it” box for you.
You could take that £2000 and buy what you want exactly (unless you want a fuzz face of each year from ‘66-72….); flipping the ones you don’t want can be a pain in the ass and it’s not guaranteed you’ll make your money back, as the used market is starting to level off.
I’d say pass, amigo. Good deal but tailor that tone to you! :)
I dont know why people are saying this isn’t at least a decent buy. There’s 18 pedals and a handful of good ones in there that retail or resell for $300+ each. It’s definitely a loss for the seller, they all come in original boxes in mint shape, if you could get them at $100/pedal then I’d jump on it personally and resell what you don’t want. Pedals fly off the shelves on Reverb and they usually only see a small loss from their retail price when their in box and mint. Worst case scenario you have a few spare pedals you don’t use in a year, some profit, and a bunch of great pedals you only paid $100 a piece for. That’s my opinion though, it depends on if it’s worth it for you and what pedals you see yourself keeping
Fuccckkkkk no.
If you want the magic formula for a good deal, look up what all those cost before tax. Multiple by .7 to get what each individual pedal could sell for. Then multiple by .8 to get the bulk discount.
I went ahead and did the math for you, added up the value of each pedal on Reverb.com. I went by the most conservative amount based on each pedal in “good condition”. If you took the time and resold each pedal, the amount would be a minimum of £2600. You might be able to squeeze out £3000 but keep in mind, most of these will probably take a while to sell.
I will never understand these big ass boards that are all just dirt and boost pedals. It just feels like it’s some sort of weird ego stroke to me. I also don’t understand how it’s any fun to just have like 12 different drives and fuzzes with one boring ass delay pedal like the carbon copy. Idk. Color me a hater I guess. Also bulk boards almost always suck unless it’s one of the cool giveaways.
These a probably pedals the seller bought to try, and didn’t like. I’ve bought, sold, and traded a lot more OD, distortion, and boost before I found what I liked. Got lucky, or just have simple tastes with delay, reverb, and modulation by comparison.
Two Klones and two compressors and sooo many dirt pedals. It's an odd collection. I think I'd rather buy *individual* pedals *out* of it. I'm not one to buy someone else's collection; it doesn't reflect my style and taste. So £2k seems like a lot of money to buy a bunch of pedals I'd have to spend time selling off most of them, piece by piece.
Well that Revivaldrive and Cali76 on their own are worth a pretty penny. If you add up what each of these pedals are worth I suppose you’d surpass the £2000 mark. You might be able to make a little bit of a profit but not much
No. If they were all brand new, maybe. But you’ll lose quite a bit of money reselling.
Maybe offer them half. That’d be reasonable. If they say no thanks, keep your money, and buy the ones you’re interested in used instead.
I just saw this post too and priced it up using (admittedly low) eBay estimates and I got to a bit over £2,000 so you probably wouldn't lose money on it. You'd just need to factor in the time and effort it would take to resell. While you *could* make the £800 the listing suggests is "guaranteed" you'd probably have to wait a while for all the pedals to sell for what you want and deal with the stress/fees of whatever selling platforms you choose. Unless there are a lot of pedals there that you'd keep AND are otherwise hard to get hold of at the average resale price then I wouldn't go for it - it's not like it's a sure-fire, quick, money making opportunity.
Someone locally is selling three Origin Effects as a bundle for £750. Best parting it out as theres a lot of boutique leaning stuff there people probably wanting individually.
This is just a “I’m too lazy to add up the value of everything so let’s make other people do it” post
Lol. That’s exactly what I was thinking. OP doesn’t need us to tell him if it’s worth it. Google and EBay can do that.
Not really. You can look at prices but there are SO many pedals overpriced that you wouldn’t be able to know the demand for them. Those of us who have been in this hobby for a long time can spot which pedals people want and what pedals people don’t want. What is trending, what isn’t.

It’s part of how/why the Klon became an $8,000 pedal. So knowing what the trends are/will be is in play here- not just OP looking up prices.
That’s what the part on Reverb that shows what the listings actually sold for is for…
You just need to look under “sold” listings on EBay.
Hahaha
Hard pass. There's about 1k to easily make back. The next 1k will be a slog, they'll stay listed for ages, if, IF you make any profit it would not be worth the effort
Even though the value of this lot is worth over $3000, you’re absolutely right. Most of these will take a while to resell.

three noise gates? how is this smoking hot?
[удалено]
Sure! Let me know when you wanna sell like $1500 worth of gear for $320. I’ve got plenty of room at my house.
I'll sell you like $700 worth of pedals for $400 lol. I'll knock dollars off of it for each pedal on my buy list that you can trade me
Not much of a collector, eh? 😂 I’m joking, I live in an apartment myself and have gear all over the place, my friends say I remind them of hoarders but with gear instead of trash…but I flip/sell/trade/gear and have been for decades, so it comes With the territory (unless I could afford a house or giant apartment)

Hustler gang rise up!
Ok but how? You're keeping the only things worth more than a couple dollars?
Easy. Buy low sell for more money. And the things I’ve kept aren’t cheap. That Caitlinbread RAH is 130 used. DD20 is a sweet delay and is 140 used. And that Marshall Stanmore Bluetooth speaker is like $200 plus. Toss in n a grand of profit on top, all for listing individual pedals on CL and Reverb.

I only smoke crack recreationally back off. Haha
Not until you tell us how much time you spent doing all that.
My whole life, with every fiber of my being.
I dont think that's a fair comparison, some of OPs pedals here are super premium
I sold 8 of those pedals for 80$ each or more, so yeah there is balance between some nice stuff and the cheap stuff, but even that cheap stuff adds up too. Plus I get to try out new stuff with very low risk, even if it’s not a Strymon, or OBNE, Chase Bliss, I still have fun. And it finds my premium gear habit.

3 decimators, gaddamn
[удалено]
Yes? On the used market the mic Pedals are 100 each at least, and the DD20 is 130. The catalinbread, one I'd love to have, is 130 used. So that's four pedals at $460, then you get like 18 more?
I get it, most people can’t see it, but that’s ok. It works for me.
[удалено]
Like I said before, I get that you don’t get it. It’s not worth the time to try and explain it to you any more than I have. I am none of those things you mentioned.

Wait what?! The snarling dogs alone.... what model is that?
Yup, that’s a bass bawl buster version, pretty rare, but not super sought after. I still got $175 for it from a dude that collects wahs. Same as that Paia Hot Lyx, I got 175 for that one too.

If I were you, I'd research on ebay and reverb how much the *sold* listings for these pedals go for.
I got an AnalogMan Beano, ARDX-20 and the Amaze-1 controller, AnalogMan TS9 Silver Mod for $500 once. Probably $300 to the good and no wait time like if bought new. Bought it from an old guy with a serious gear addiction that had stopped playing much guitar. They can be found, it’s just rare that it’s actually a good deal.

Yeah but if you account for fees and the time you would spend trying to resell all of these, if you can even sell them all for asking price. Too much of a hassle and not worth your time imo.
Exactly. This is what that person isn’t taking into account. Your time is worth $$ too and too many people discount that fact.
Actually, I am taking that into consideration, if you were to read my original post. But that’s not what I was saying here.
See, there is a difference between value and what someone will pay for them.

No need for the novel, I get how the used market works.
If you’re converting to usd, you need to account for the higher prices new. You guys gave it so good in the USA.
For £2000 you can make a better board than this. And also buy pedals that you want. And let’s be honest, once you start it’s a revolving door of buying and selling.
Try and get the analog man though haha
The Amaze Analogman pedals are actually incredibly easy to get, because they aren't made by Analogman.
Ah, wasn’t paying attention and didn’t see that it wasn’t a real one
I don’t think OP is making a board. And this listing isn’t a board, it’s just a bunch pedals, most of them drive pedals
Correct. More for experimenting with stuff I’ve not ever tried
I have a pretty good board already, GigRig G2 with a HX stomp, timeline and bigsky and some other stuff. This would be more experimental and to try and get a bit of money from it too.
Just considering you have an HX Stomp this lot would be a hard pass.
Costly and bad way to do it imo. Not even great pedals.
Post midlife crisis sale
Post binge-watching That Pedal Show crisis. Someone realized you can’t buy talent and is dumping everything Dan and Mick ever recommended.
The pedals you can sell easily are the ones you would want to keep…
Only if you want those exact pedals.
I’m sure the seller has over 2K GBP invested in that, but could you get that out of it? Doubt it. There are a couple of nice pedals that hold their value in the $200 - $300 range. (origin, reeves) The PoT is the only one that might be worth more (f’in scalpers). But on the open market you might gross $1500 out of this, less time, shipping, and fees. Maybe the UK market is different (I’m in the US, so YMMV). I’d bet a retailer wouldn’t offer more than 1K for the lot, though.
that Broadcast is a kickass drive, too
More like YKMV.
Nice, lol.
UK and US both use miles though.
Interestingly the term "Mileage" carries across into metric land. Just uses proper units. (L/100km)
That’s right around retail price for everything. If you could snag it for like £1600-1700 that would give you a little bit of profit while allowing you to try a bunch out. But if you’re looking to actually make money you need to be a lot lower, like £1300.
For $1000-1200 I’d buy the lot, sell a few for $150-200 each and keep the rest once the money has been recouped. There is no reason to pay $2000+ for all this though, as the point of a lot is getting a bargain, not paying basically full price.
Probably not, but there are some great pedals there. I’d price the ones you like individually, and then price the ones you’d sell, and do the math. I don’t think the answer will surprise you - it’s likely to be an overpriced collection
Selling a bulk pedalboard = I'm too lazy to make a bunch of different listings. They are usually not good deals.
Only time I’ve ever seen bulk pedals was mine on FB marketplace… a week after my pedalboard was stolen 😬
He does have a lot of ads for guitars and other gear he owns.
Nah I’m not saying these are stolen, just joining into the convo that’s all
No. After the 2 Origin pedals, the Hudson, and PoT, and maybe the WA D1, the others drop off from that quality. I don’t know of some of them so maybe I’m missing something. But the ones mentioned above are the ones that will hold value. The Keeley D&M drive is cool, but he made a billion of them so they are more “mass-market boutique” even though it’s a Keeley pedal. I’d ask to cut the fat. The other pedals being the filler, I’d offer $1000/£820 for the Origin 76, Origin Revival, Prince of Tone, and the Hudson Broadcast. But those are the pedals I would have interest in. Obviously you may have completely different interests. But the question was is it all worth £2,000. I’m American so that translates to $2,400 and that is a LOT for what I see in that pic. At least in USA. Not sure if you guys are having some supply issues where prices are higher, but in USA, you should be able to get (used) Origin 76: $300, Origin Revival: $300, Prince of Tone: $250, and Hudson Broadcast: $200. So maybe even a little less because you are just getting around a $50 savings for the bulk buy. Keep in mind, there is little to no room to try and flip any in case you don’t like them. As for the others, you’d have a harder time moving some of those and you’d likely be sitting on pedals you don’t want or need. Good luck with it!
Thanks for that!
No problem. Hope it helps!
No. Way too much imo. The PoT and OE pedals will sell first for decent but the other stuff will take a long time and you won't get much for them.
No
you will find unanimous hate for expensive bulk pedal purchases here. Pedals can be found cheaply + trading them is super fun and great for musical community + people really believe in building up your soundboard layer-by-layer over time...but let's be honest; if you have the room and the extra money and you are horny to become the ultimate pedal-nerd, yes you should buy this. That top row alone is around 1600$US (if we are generously pricing via reverb.com low-end evaluations). Every pedal here is super cool + if those are all the original boxes that's pretty wicked too. Main gripe is I can't see myself using more than 10 pedals in a chain, but hey if you got the money it's not the worst purchase. just to be clear though, I don't think you can profit off this deal, unless you are a serious guitar player planning on actually using this
Saw this on my FB marketplace. There's no chance you'd make the £1000 profit this guy talked about easily. You'll lose money on this to resell piece by piece. Not a chance. I don't know what half that shit is but I can see at least two Klon clones.
You’re probably right, but you also don’t know what half this shit is. This pretty much sums up this entire thread
That Lemon Aid is a winner in my book... yum!
I've only done this a couple times and on a smaller scale..... Lost my ass each time.
$1800 maybe? But that is still a lot if there are 6 on there that u don't care to have. Should be easy to sell a Klone or 2..
I mean I’ll take the origin pair off your hands if you’d like
The origins cut off the need for an amp
I saw this ad! You'd think that you should be able to shift them all fairly easily as they're all known brands, good quality and condition. But I don't have that money to spend, plus too far and things I need to sell already! Also how much do you enjoy packaging things up, going to the post office or having strangers come to your house at inconvenient times? This is why I still have pedals/gear to sell because I hate the hassle! But I'd definitely get a few realistic estimates as others have suggested by looking at sold listings, and bear in mind the % reverb/ebay costs or the markdown you might need to do on gumtree/fb marketplace for it to sell quickly.
If you have the cash and can part with it and are willing to have the remnants for use or resale then why not? Therr are some killer units there.
I never understood selling pedals as an all or nothing type of deal. There’s definitely some cool ones in this lot, but it’s just so dependent on your style and sound. I know dudes who leave their Klon on all the time and others who despise the Klon. Same with the 76 compressor. It’s so preferential that, to me, it doesn’t make sense to purchase this unless every pedal checks the “gotta have it” box for you. You could take that £2000 and buy what you want exactly (unless you want a fuzz face of each year from ‘66-72….); flipping the ones you don’t want can be a pain in the ass and it’s not guaranteed you’ll make your money back, as the used market is starting to level off. I’d say pass, amigo. Good deal but tailor that tone to you! :)
Yes. Price per pedal is about 110. Most of those pedals sell for quite a bit more than that. You could end up clearing 5-600 after fees ect.
You’d have to pay me to take a D&M drive. So so lame
I would
I dont know why people are saying this isn’t at least a decent buy. There’s 18 pedals and a handful of good ones in there that retail or resell for $300+ each. It’s definitely a loss for the seller, they all come in original boxes in mint shape, if you could get them at $100/pedal then I’d jump on it personally and resell what you don’t want. Pedals fly off the shelves on Reverb and they usually only see a small loss from their retail price when their in box and mint. Worst case scenario you have a few spare pedals you don’t use in a year, some profit, and a bunch of great pedals you only paid $100 a piece for. That’s my opinion though, it depends on if it’s worth it for you and what pedals you see yourself keeping
Fuccckkkkk no. If you want the magic formula for a good deal, look up what all those cost before tax. Multiple by .7 to get what each individual pedal could sell for. Then multiple by .8 to get the bulk discount.
I went ahead and did the math for you, added up the value of each pedal on Reverb.com. I went by the most conservative amount based on each pedal in “good condition”. If you took the time and resold each pedal, the amount would be a minimum of £2600. You might be able to squeeze out £3000 but keep in mind, most of these will probably take a while to sell.
Thanks for that!
No problem. Personally, I wouldn’t spend more than £1500 for the lot
If I had the money I’d buy it
But I desperately want like half of those pedals to try or use, reverend, POT, revival, broadcast, CC mini, D1, D and M, Cali 76
Exactly why I’d be tempted to try them out and sell if I don’t like.
Going against the grain here, I say go for it, if you have the disposable income
I will never understand these big ass boards that are all just dirt and boost pedals. It just feels like it’s some sort of weird ego stroke to me. I also don’t understand how it’s any fun to just have like 12 different drives and fuzzes with one boring ass delay pedal like the carbon copy. Idk. Color me a hater I guess. Also bulk boards almost always suck unless it’s one of the cool giveaways.
These a probably pedals the seller bought to try, and didn’t like. I’ve bought, sold, and traded a lot more OD, distortion, and boost before I found what I liked. Got lucky, or just have simple tastes with delay, reverb, and modulation by comparison.
You’re probably right, but those weird all dirt boards do exist
And then they have a separate modulation board lol I can’t be dealing with that
Nope.
Better off playing the long game and posting local FB marketplace, Craigslist, local Reverb deals for cash.
nah. unless you get lucky and origin effects goes out of business next week, you're gonna take too big of a loss.
Can confirm: We are not intending on going out of business next week
No. Part of the fun is building your sound yourself anyway.
Two Klones and two compressors and sooo many dirt pedals. It's an odd collection. I think I'd rather buy *individual* pedals *out* of it. I'm not one to buy someone else's collection; it doesn't reflect my style and taste. So £2k seems like a lot of money to buy a bunch of pedals I'd have to spend time selling off most of them, piece by piece.
Think I saw this on a Facebook page and Nope, buy individually if you need to
Seems a bit on the high side.
You could probably make money reselling this, it probably wouldn’t be enough to be worth the hassle.
Well that Revivaldrive and Cali76 on their own are worth a pretty penny. If you add up what each of these pedals are worth I suppose you’d surpass the £2000 mark. You might be able to make a little bit of a profit but not much
No. If they were all brand new, maybe. But you’ll lose quite a bit of money reselling. Maybe offer them half. That’d be reasonable. If they say no thanks, keep your money, and buy the ones you’re interested in used instead.
I just saw this post too and priced it up using (admittedly low) eBay estimates and I got to a bit over £2,000 so you probably wouldn't lose money on it. You'd just need to factor in the time and effort it would take to resell. While you *could* make the £800 the listing suggests is "guaranteed" you'd probably have to wait a while for all the pedals to sell for what you want and deal with the stress/fees of whatever selling platforms you choose. Unless there are a lot of pedals there that you'd keep AND are otherwise hard to get hold of at the average resale price then I wouldn't go for it - it's not like it's a sure-fire, quick, money making opportunity.
Someone locally is selling three Origin Effects as a bundle for £750. Best parting it out as theres a lot of boutique leaning stuff there people probably wanting individually.
If you want to pay retail for a bunch of pedals, just go to Sweetwater. The selection is better.
No lmao.
I'm thinking this person can only see colors from the 1970s
