I've noticed that nearly every used ibanez I click on from ebay is coming from japan. This guy has taken over most of the market. As such he sets the prices and charges over a hundred bucks for shipping. It seems he is driver some folks to reverb to sell their ibbys. Sadly reverb prices are a bit higher than ebay used to be. This is the guys store. Be careful when bidding on these. He is half way around the world and shipping is not cheap.
Has anyone bought from this guy? He has nearly 10 thousand guitars in his shop. https://www.ebay.com/str/goodproductjapan |

That's my beef with him. Used to be able to get good prices on ebay for used ibbys. Not anymore. This guy sorta wrecked. It's nice that he has some good reviews. Too bad the prices are inflated and shipping is $150 
probably wouldn't buy from the guy. I buy from north america typically. I've just noticed a price increase beyond the normal bump happening due to this guys pricing and he seems to be a heayweight vendor. Just life I guess. Just complaining is all |

I haven't looked too much at used Ibbys but (as many of you know) I scour the secondhand market on-line and in physical shops and I've noticed a pretty big uptick in prices for everything. I figured that with Covid, prices would fall but not the case. Oddly, with some stuff, especially 'brand name' stuff - and Ibanez certainly falls into that category - a higher price actually entices some folks to buy.
I had a rare boutique tube amp for sale on Reverb for two years with barely a bite. I raised the price when Reverb jacked up their fees and boom, it sold. *$207.00 Insured shipping across the country. This post has been edited by klasaine: Mar 17 2021, 04:31 PM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

QUOTE (Steve Gilfield @ Mar 17 2021, 08:57 AM) If I remember correctly, Bonamasa is a '59 Les Paul collector. I am pretty sure by now he has almost all of them. If he starts selling them, I am sure they will be waaay overpriced. There were 543 Sunburst Les Pauls ('Bursts) shipped in 1959. Not so ironically, once they broke the $50K barier there were all of a sudden about 500 more that 'showed up' (fakes or '59 gold tops that were stripped and refin'd in sunburst). All in all, Gibson shipped about 4000 Les Paul type guitars in 1959. Juniors, Specials, Customs, etc. *The sunburst standards are the one's that go for the big money. If Joe B. owns even 1/2 of the documented and accounted for 543 - I would be very impressed. That's a lot of fuckin' money ... even for a rich guy. *I bought my first Ibanez in 1979 for $175.00 whsc and including the tax. An AS 2629 (335 copy). I still have it. They go for around 2 grand currently. This post has been edited by klasaine: Mar 17 2021, 08:04 PM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

The covid effect seems to be driving up prices as people have more time at home. Also, with some money one can soak up a big chunk of the market. Such is life
