What do you think I could sell this for?

[hunter]

I have this original V1 Guv'nor pedal, it's got all the case candy (see pic)

I've seen ebay auctions requesting up to 499 US$ BIN price - this is a bit crazy, but what do you think I can take for the pedal realistically?

I'd just put it on ebay and see what happens, start the auction on a Friday or Saturday night, don't have a reserve and list it in several catagories and you will sell it for exactly what it's worth.
Always helps to put the ebay link on a few forums as well.....

Good advice, and don't forget to tick the ebay listing box for visibility in the USA and Canada !

£60 max, i watched about 5 or so of these a month or so ago and they all went for £50-£60.

I'll give you 37p and a bag of fish n' chips. No salt n' vinegar. Lean times.

I'll match that and raise you a packet of Moam Teddy bears (Bring out the trumpets!)

Is it a made in UK one or a Korean one?

If it's UK and mint I'll take it  ;)

[mikeluke]

Best that I have seen a UK-one got for was almost £100 (£90 something) - there are a couple out there at silly prices but they are not selling. Mine cost me about £45 I seem to remember. Would agree that £60 is more realistic.

If you flog it to Dave just make sure that you charge him at least £100 - he has far too many pedals anyway by the sound of it....

[AndyR]

How many do you want Twinfan?

(We could all sell him our original Guvnors! :lol:)

Mine's not actually for sale, and it's not mint by any stretch of the imagination! But I haven't used it for years, I just don't tend to go down that route anymore.

As a pedal (it's the only "dirt" pedal I've ever owned) how do you guys rate these things? Mine did sterling service for several years as my solo boost in front of a Laney 50W m/v valve combo - it did a good job, but I never really questioned it... How good were these things?

(Sorry for the slight hijack Hunter :roll:)

Mine's UK made and mint inc. all case candy etc.

[Twinfan]

Sounds like Hunter's is for me then  :)

[mikeluke]

Reckon that you might have some competition, Dave.....

 :lol:

[Twinfan]

Sounds like it, and I don't want it enough to pay crazy money  :lol:

i'd try to sell it back to marshall. tell them you want 5 grand or you'll make the photo of jim marshall in the instruction manual public.












disclaimer: i'm joking, obviously. just in case the online police try to track me down or something daft.
