Blueburst pricing

Post by webhead »

Anyone catch the $1800 pricetag on a 330BBR @ Ed Roman's site? I didn't think they were going for that much.

I remember I called him a while back for a price on a 360CW. He wanted something like $5K, he also had a 370PT for $7K. Which I thought was nuts.... I noticed he has a McGuinn there too, he probably wants $10K for it..

Actually, in Ed's case, they are gouging for that much!

I guess he's not worried about having those BBRs in stock for a long time. The ridiculous price makes me think that will be the case.

He's got some weird (non-Rick) inventory items there! Only in Las Vegas, I guess...........

BS. I went to Las Vegas to try a C58. Drove several hours too (Los Angeles to Las Vegas). And, when I got there, they didn't have one, and they hadn't had any for months.

Disappointed, I began to walk out, and the salesman came running after me with a 330MG in one hand and a picture of Lennon in Hamburg in the other. He tried to convince me that Lennon played a full scale model, and that it was most definitely a 350 which was identical to a 330 but with a slightly different body shape. And, the thing had hi-gains on it...

*sigh*

Well actually, in that movie "Birth of the Beatles" I could have sworn the dude who played Lennon had what looked like a 300MG.

Nick are you referring to the RIC online shipping info or Ed Roman's online inventory?
