I too, much prefer the direct route and selling via the site or the forum but with a small handful or one-off pedals it's a logistical nightmare. Reverb is simple and to the point, it isn't overly time taxing and most do prefer it over eBay. Though, that said, the auction format does only work for some things.
I sold those Head Buzz's for a price I was happy with, they were old reference pedals, they had no meaning to me other than that. I most certainly would not be doing the same thing with a newly build custom piece.

Flippers gonna flip. The actions of either a very smart or a very desperate person. Either which way, that shit is outta my and any other builders hands. Let the chips fall where they may.

Someone is going to have a problem no matter which way it goes
There have been BINS on eBay, auctions on eBay, Direct on the forum, direct from the site, Joe even did a raffle back in the day
We’ve been very lucky to get the runs we’ve had on here with dizzy, maggot, Buzztronix, coop etc
Rare birds and customs are best off being auctioned. It eliminates the luck of right place and right time, and the flippers are forced to go against people who want it for what it is and from what I have seen, not many of the auctioned customs are getting flipped. It does seem to weed out the flippery as some of those end prices go into category of “can’t be flipped for profit”.
All in all, I don’t think we can make things much fairer around here than it already is
And flipping ain’t Dave’s problem or responsibility
So we should move these posts out of dam direct because we’re derailing the most exciting thread on the forum by talking about this for the millionth time now?

I kinda like talking about it, makes for a good discussion, better than posting SAF memes or whatever :badteeth:

Not a fan of auctions though it has to be said

i want to say yes, to an extent. i listed my 77 tele deluxe in my last big sell-off and almost immediately someone from CME reached out with an offer. let it be noted a very VERY reasonable offer.

didnt have the heart to see what they flipped it for tho :paranoid:
if you're ever in the shit, grab my tit
i like pedals when you know they're on
