This company is notorious for putting used Ric's up for auction on eBay at ridiculous prices. The market value of a brand new 660/12 is about $1450, that includes the recent price hike. This dolt has a used one for $1699. Note that he says the guitar has "humbucking pick-ups". I emailed them and told them they're nuts and ignorant. Jeez ... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=41439&item=7315327395&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW | ||

Good work! I've noticed this as well and always from this seller. Hopefully a prospective RIC buyer will look elsewhere. | ||

It's supply and demand, as you know. The very week I bought my MB 660-12 new for $1275, a used FG one sold for $1265! Arrogant sellers and ignorant buyers. Formula for profits. | ||

Well, judging from some of their other over-priced stuff sitting there, don't count on it. | ||

Funny thing is: if GC just wants to dump the last of the Ric inventory, than do it at a price to move. Music 123 has a blem. 360 for $935 right now. When 123 dumps stuff, it is priced to move. GC is penny wise pound foolish, because the end result is I have a negative outlook on anything they do. | ||

GC didn't have any inventory to "dump"- they were the ones complaining to us that their cupboard was bare. This one is properly tagged as pre-owned and I suspect we'll see more and more used RIC gear at GC. | ||

Bare cupboards are meaningless when their staff is only knowledgeable about half the inventory. And it seems to be the half with "thrasher" tattooed on its fore, er, HEAD. | ||
