Just scored a WH4 for £70 off ebay.
What bargains have you secured recently?

Also, a mn3005 I took a chance on eBay just came in...wish me luck?

Good score on the WH4 and good luck with the mn3005 :)

I flip a fair few pedals and have had some nice scores and some pretty cool stuff pass through.
Most recent of note are Mint carbon copy for £40, Zoom Ultra fuzz £19, Fulltone choralflange for £60,  Boss dc-2 £40 , DC-3 for £27.
But i think so far my two biggest scores have been a Sola Sound Tonebender for £89 and a Mint in case  American Standard  1998 Strat for £200. :-[

damn dude you are kicking my ass.

That Zoom Ultra Fuzz I have one of them think I paid a similar amount. REALLY good pedal. What do you think?
It does a great clean / grit boost, as well as everything a fuzz factory does pretty much.

Great scores all round there.

My best score in terms of value (not instrument) was picking up an Ibanez 7 string for $55 because the music shop forgot a zero on the price tag.  Sold it on ebay three days later for $400.  Either that, or the Hamer I picked up (some shredder model) for $70, partsed it out for $500.

My best score in terms of instruments would be my squier Pro Tone Strat, which I picked up for $150, because the seller didn't realize what they had.  Easily my nicest playing strat, and I have/had about 20.
The only known cure in the world for GAS is death.  That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

I picked up my '67 Bassman for 300 bucks. All it needed was a new fuse :)

Seriously! It was missing the bottom plate for some reason, but still...free Crybaby.

I traded a tattoo of a rose with the guy's mothers name under it for a '78 stratocaster. It was far from mint condition but I like worn out looking instruments.
I got blisters on my fingers!!!
