Title: Used F-2B for "Only" $1,400
Post by: hammer on August 16, 2011, 10:01:10 AM

Are they kidding? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130562508985+ (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130562508985+)
 
or was this an F-2B that was actually used both by David Gilmore AND the Grateful Dead.  I suppose that anyone can ask any price for any item on EBay, but I recently picked up a FX-1 for $300 (there's one currently on the Detroit Craig's List for $275 - careful)and have seen F-2Bs going for anywhere between $500-$600.

and it was also used in the movie Up in Smoke!!!! Not to mention it crossed the country several times on Ken Kesey's bus.

Regarding this one........
 
.... I recently picked up a FX-1 for $300 (there's one currently on the Detroit Craig's List for $275 - careful)....
 
That one was legit.  How do I know?  It was one of mine.  I had two.  The 2nd was modified by a previous owner.  I had sold it once for $325 but the buyer got squeamish about the mods and I refunded his money, so this time I sold that one ONLY LOCAL IN DETROIT and ONLY TO SOMEONE WHO COULD SEE THE MODS AND AGREE THAT IT WAS OK.  That happened and now I and the new owner are both happy happy.  A previous owner moved the XLR pad to the back and the on/off switch to the front.
 
The other one that I own is now posted for sale here at a more logical $450
 
Peace,
 
James

Amazingly, there were no bids for this one. Gee, I wonder why.
