I don't like Holland. Nobody has the transistors I want.

Which was the nonsense part? Are you claiming it doesn't work? If it indeed is a cheap copy of the Black Ice unit, people seem to like that well enough.* Anyway, Ebay does not promote nonsense, it's the individual people who sell stuff there.   :wink:

:roll:

from now on, I'll put everything I sell on ebay into black shrinkwrap and promote it as "The Mystery Gadget" - SRV's studio secret!!!

:twisted:

Some super easy to get clipping diodes?
 Would it necessarily have to be in the guitar?

No its not a coincidence.  its me.  i have been hangin out over there for sometime.   But bryan was on the same track as i was with his hotstick.  i told him about the shotckys as we were talking about this some time ago on the forum  and when i found the right diodes i built a couple of them. nice really if you have hot pickups.. course it dont' take mouch to make the shotckys break up.

The title of this thread reminds me of a thread I saw when I was a frequent visitor at the ampage forum. About 3 or 4 years ago, someone posted a link to an ebay auction where this guy wasn't selling a tangeable object, but rather a service: The auction was, in essence, "to kick your ass". So, in other words, he would go kick the winners butt. That's all the auction was for. What made it really hilarious is that people put in bids!

I'm still waiting for something to top that one.  :wink:

well,  there was the guy that sold a ghost caught in a jar...

Paul Marossy

A ghost caught in a jar, huh? Was it Casper? And did they lure it into the jar I wonder... :lol:

That's a pretty good one.

I was at my local book store a while back and there was a book there that had "strange things" sold on ebey. Everything from "the last pickle in the jar", toe nails etc., but the best one was a guy sold "nothing" and sold it for $3.10 (including shipping)

A while ago someone there was a guy auctioning off his virginity, and lately the New York phone number (area code 212) 867-5309 was going for tens of thousands of dollars.  

Stew-Mac seems pretty reasonable about most things, but $27.50 for two diodes in a plastic cube?

I remember the toaster that was possessed by the devil.  That was pretty funny!

My favourite was a guy selling an air guitar (aka air).  He had a full description, how often it was "used", previous owners, and I swear I'm not kidding, it sold for at least ten thousand dollars,
WTF, are people stupid?
