My Dsl40c’s were $700

I don’t remember what I paid for the old DSL40c but it seems like it was less than $600 when they first came out.

The JCM 900 DR I bought on craigslist 8 years ago was $380. The guy could not sell it. I got more for it at GC than I paid for it.

F$%K! I will keep saving for a better day. When they liquidate their assets when they go out of business! Glad I bought what I did when I did. Taking a year off from buying big gear.

It never fails. When prices get high, the gouging gets ridiculous. There was a gun I could have bought, and almost did, for about $750.00 in December 2019, from any number of vendors. Once COVID hit, the cheapest anywhere was $1800.00 and that was a "bargain." We're seeing the same with musical gear now.

I'm glad I got what I got, no worries, unless strings and picks become the price of gold!

 

[Totengott666]

I was planning on getting back into tubes and possibly buying a 40cr, but not now, I absolutely refuse to buy after a price hike as drastic as this, about a year ago, Randall started jacking up their prices, like $999 for a 20 watt made in China head. That didn't work out so well for them.

Who would pay 6K for this ? NOT me . I would think not even a museum would .

Is that from the Guitar Center website? If not, it could be. Anything on there with the word "vintage" starts at $5000.00 minimum. I see crap on there listed for thousands that I could have bought in a pawn shop for $350.00 twenty years ago.

That 6K is local , Canadian .

Me too!

……….. I see crap on there listed for thousands that I could have bought in a pawn shop for $350.00 twenty years ago.

20 years ago?! No kidding really?


I thought you were gonna say a couple years ago!

 

[Moony]

Why are some of you guys so mad at Marshall now?

I posted the EU prices here and they are perfectly fine, even cheaper than some of the competition.
I see that the amps in the US are so expensive now, that's really not nice and I also understand that this causes frustration.

But I don't think that's Marshall's fault (otherwise they would have raised the prices drastically in the EU too).
It is probably more due to the US distributors and of course, as already mentioned, to the massively increased transport costs.

No, a couple of years ago, the "vintage" stuff listed at $5000.00 at GC would have been maybe $1200-$1500. Vintage gear has always crept up, but they take it to extremes.

We can only hope!

The main thing is inflation above all else. If anyone thinks it's just Marshall, it's because that's where their attention currently lies. I told about my Carvin a couple of times. I bought my first one in 2015 and it was a little over $1800.00. I recently spec'ed out the exact same guitar, down to every detail, and the price was $3300.00+. I'm seeing this in everything else these days.

Same here and the lesson here is take extremely good care of what you have!!!
