Check out the bidding history. After 40 bucks, it was between duanebeckershobud and golddust duke-ing it out. Could be two guys with late 60's PP's who want a pedal with "Emmons" on the front tongue to complete their guitars.

For that amount of money you can buy a Hilton or a Black Box at Brad's.

eBay is just an auction.
Strange things happen at auctions.
Sometimes great bargains, sometimes otherwise.
If someone want an item exactly like this, I don't know where they can find one.
So it's worth it to them.
I call it the TTFAO factor.
(Try To Find Another One)
On rare occasions I paid high prices due to the TTFAO factor.

When it comes to collectibles, it's a matter of how much someone will pay, pure and simple. There aren't a lot of these early models around, so if he keeps it any length of time, he won't lose any money.
Collectors and players are a world apart. A player might not pay over $2000 for an old Strat, Tele, or Paul, but collectors will pay ten times that for a nice one! |

This was my pedal, I'm one of the Uncle Jons along with my son, of Uncle Jon's Music. When I checked the end of the auction last night I couldn't belive my eyes! It's on it's way to the new owner. It came with an Emmons I bought in '79, but I don't remember ever using it. I used a Goodrich that I still have. Over the years I kept losing that Emmons pedal in my house. I'd find it and then lose it again. This time I sold it. All's well that ends well, I guess.  |

| I paid $200 for a Wright pedal. I have a couple Wright guitars and since they don't make those pedals anymore, I considered it a bargain. Have you priced Bigsby pedals? |
