Anyone interested in Wah shells/pedals in the uk/europe?

F.V · July 05, 2008, 10:36:27 AM

A shop near me has a stock of about 20 Vox V847 wah's that they're wanting rid of, none have baseplates as far as i'm aware, and they all have the boards, pots, jacks and switches. I bought 4 for £20 today, and i said i'd maybe be back for more. Would anyone be interested in some? I'll be able to get them at a ridiculously cheap price. and they'd be perfect for any project you need a wah/expression for. The gearing is held on the pots by a split pin, so you could swap out the pots in there for any value relatively easily.

Not really trying to make money off this, just pass on a bargain price for the wah shells. Cost would be pedal+ shipping. And i'll probably ship anywhere if you pay for it. Don't know what the price would be yet for either, i'm just seeing if anyones interested?

Although this is my first post ive been a lurker for a while, and Andy Harrison (hairyandy) should be able to vouch for me if this seems a bit off-colour. ( I sold him an amp when he was in scotland a week or so ago)

Where are you?

Hanglow · July 05, 2008, 11:57:28 AM

I'm in glasgow and I'll take one if there are any left .....

pm me any details needed etc

actually you said you were in scotland, any chance you could pm me the shop

Is it sound control liquidation stock? Or have cash generators gone mental again? I managed to get a £900 Linn hifi amp off them for £30 because the fuse had gone. damn fools

Well, i went into the shop and bought the rest of the pedals, they wouldn't be haggled down on the price, and got a bit wary of me buying out their whole stock of them, so i ended up in the end with 25 pedals for £150 all in. SO that's £6 per pedal,

Postage to Britain will be between £4.50 and £6 depending upon how you want it sent.
Postage to Canada and the US will be between £10 and £20 depending upon how you want it sent.

The postage costs for Canada and the US are a rough estimate for sending via surface mail, air mail is ridiculous at this weight, so i'd have to get back to you on what the total would be.

I'm in Partick, Glasgow if your from Scotland and want to pick them up rather than the postage charges.

I also got a original EHX 16 second delay for a tenner today from the same shop, needs repairing, but from a power up and test the prospects look good. That was the real score of the day.

I would like to get one shell. I live in South America, but you could ship the pedal to Madrid, Spain to a firend of mine... so he'll be able to bring it to my country in Christmas (like Santa!). How much the shipping to Madrid will cost? And how can I send you the money? PayPal maybe?

F.V · July 05, 2008, 03:48:53 PM

Postage to spain would be about £10, and i'll accept paypal, but would rather receive the payment in pounds rather than dollars, to avoid a conversion fee on my end. I'm not trying to make money off this!

YEA i WONDER WHY?

rackham · July 05, 2008, 06:01:17 PM

I want to big-up F.V. for doing this.

I'm sure he could have more than seen his money back on Ebay rather than sorting out the community here

F.V · July 05, 2008, 08:12:25 PM

Oh and a note for US/Canada buyers:
Paypal charges a small fee for converting currency, as does anywhere, but in this case, as i'm selling these pedals for so little, and not for profit at all, i don't feel that i should be saddled with the charge for converting it at my end, so if you could convert your payment to Pounds sterling before sending it to me that'd be great!

I've uploaded some photos

Oh and after messing with one of them tonight ive had a closer look, and the pots are hotpotz one's.

WLTerry · July 06, 2008, 02:03:58 AM

You got a PM

tungngruv · July 06, 2008, 09:06:35 AM

Finlay, if you want, let me know the conversion fee and I'll just add that onto the wah shell payment, if that's OK. To avoid any cost coming out of your pocket. Thanks,

Dave Simpson · July 06, 2008, 11:14:30 AM

If you still have one available PM me your Paypal address and I'll send you the funds. I'm in the US by the way.

Freddy205 · July 06, 2008, 11:46:59 AM

If there are anymore available I'd like a couple (2 if possible!). I'm down here in Nottingham, UK.

Great heads up to you F.V - a fine sport you've been!

Can you PM me if you've any left?

Cheers in advance!
