which dealer?
Bummer, but glad these are in production now. I’ll catch one eventually.
The one Cooper FX had posted about in his story, if I remember correctly, it was something like Wolf Music, which is some place I had never heard of. And someone in the comments said that a place called Guitar Pedal Shoppe also had them listed for $499.

I am never letting my CB GenLoss go.

I’ve had the gen loss, v1, arcade gen loss card and got a v2 in the mail.
Out of the 3 I’ve had so far I liked the OG the best. I sold the CBA one cause I didn’t use the extra features and liked the noise of the mod OG way more.
I’m excited for this one, and very glad it’s in production and not limited. I got it right at 9 am and noticed it sold out seconds later. It’s nuts.

That went fast.
dude turned down my $299 offer pretty much immediately.

I really wanted a Generation Loss but since getting Dark World I feel satisfied enough to not be bummed by missing out. You get a simplified, more smeared, reverbed out version with Dark World, but it retains transients well so might be passable for some.
FWIW, Chase Bliss had the 4-6 week wait on Dark World when I ordered in January but it shipped after three weeks. Not sure if that will always be the case, but with the way things are these days I was expecting double the wait.
Dark World is really incredible. there’s also lots of pedals out there to get this kind of sound. you could buy three or four of them for what these idiots are asking for this V2.
I love the idea of someone buying it, receiving it, then immediately listing it for 4X the price. and claiming “I don’t wanna sell it, but if you’re stupid enough to pay this much, I will.” like… don’t lie. clearly you bought it with this intention.

Wow, that’s a lot of 1’s.
To be fair, even if they were trying to break even, they would lose money with that offer, as they would have to pay Reverb fees and whatnot. Having sold a couple of things on Reverb, you would probably need an offer of around $350 just for them to break even. But, they are obviously going for gold.

I still don’t understand the angst about this kind of thing, now if it was price gouging on essentials like food, gas, water, and medicine or hiked up prices on pandemic facemask which I’ve seen I have my pitchfork out too, but because somebody is willing to pay 3 times the cost for something that is still available for 3 Times less the cost how is that such an evil thing?.. it seems like the worst part of scalping is the sound of the word but I guess I just don’t get it, if the Cooper fx actually priced it at the price the scalpers priced the pedal at and people still thought the pedals were worth buying would that make Cooper fx bad guys?..

but who’s principles, the person paying or the person selling and what principle is it exactly because it takes two to tango?
I agree, the scalping has never bothered me at all. It happens all over with shoes, video game systems, concert tickets etc. If there is someone out there willing to pay the price, then go for it. And I’ve seen groups online where they go after these re-sellers like an angry mob. You aren’t solving anything, because there will always be the next guy doing the same thing. Also, that anger could just as well be pointed at the company making them. These things happen because of scarcity. So they could instead turn the mob towards the company, demand that they hire more people, make bigger orders, and ramp up production. But that part rarely happens. And while I think most of these companies just like remaining small operations, I would guess there are some that love the scarcity effect, even if they don’t admit it. All this hype lifts their pedals up to mythic proportions. There are two sides to the coin. As long as there are small batches/not enough to fill demand, there will be scarcity, and therefore scalpers.
I will say that I do think that a limit on how many one can purchase, to ensure that someone isn’t buying up a portion of the batch and mass re-selling them, can be a good idea. I think it was good that Cooper FX started a 1 per customer limit.

I wish the limit was two per cust. cause tom said he doesn’t wanna do stereo and that’s the only reason I didn’t try out a pair of these
but I concur with your sentiments, this case was different but especially when a company puts out those limited edition pedals, they are literally creating the mythic proportions they will enjoy later.
