Has anyone seen the listings from "InstrumentExchange"?
Dear lord are these people nuts. It's basically the eBay front for Musician's Friend/Guitar Center. In less than two months months of doing eBay they have an 86% positive feedback rating. And get this, 15 negatives. That's one every other day for god's sake!!!!

I swear if it weren't for the premium that GC/MF are paying for this webfront, they would have been banned from eBay by their fourth sale.

These guys just drive me nuts...everyone do yourself a favour, never buy from GC/MF. You are paying too much for too little.

This reminds me of a scam the used car lots used to pull. If a car would't sell on the lot, they would park it at the house of a "little old lady", and advertise it as a private party sale. I don't know all the details, but it worked like a charm.

It's obvious what these guys are doing. I watch ebay all the time and several of thier items have been up for auction before under various ( individual ? ) seller names.

Thier "buy it now" options and thier reserves are really high. Now some of thier stuff is cool and even rare, ie; see the Komet amp, but for the most part this is not what I want to get involved with on ebay.
I have deal with other brokers of smaller size and was treated very well but so far these guys have a very bad track record.

That's good advice...yes stay away from Instrument Exchange.
