Unless it makes you filthy rich and powerful.

I'll settle for filthy rich!  I'll leave power to those best placed to use and abuse it!

I flipped a guitar once - it landed square on its headstock - snapped clean off. Word of advice looks cool when you land it sweet...oh hang on

I've seen a 2015 gibson dc for £1000 on reverb. Remember when amazon was dumping them? A friend of mine bought one for £250. I know others received refunds for innocuous missing items like case keys etc.

I think owning a guitar for 6 years and then listing it for sale can’t really be classed as “flipping”

There was a guy the other day trying to flog a 1960 Strat for £30k and I KNOW as a fact he only paid around $220 for it...

Or have a girlfriend who is filthy rich. Failing that she should just be filthy.

True true, smart move tbh. If he makes £750 good for him.

The latest sport on Reverb seems to be "capitalise on Chase Bliss not producing any stock by selling my used pedals at the same cost as a new one or more". It may be allowed, but it still sucks.

This would be a good entrant in the second hand prices thread elsewhere. 

I bought a brand new 2015 Les Paul Special Double Cut for £499 delivered at the time. I sent it back as the wide nut made the guitar feel like one of M D Phillips' 8 string to 6 string conversion specials.

Sound Affects (hardly known for their second hand bargains) currently have a used example for sale at £799, and Fair Deal have gone one better at £999...

Not just selling out of stock pedals, but their discontinued ones are nuts.  The Facebook group a lot are looking for Spectre, Condor and Gen Loss.
