[QUOTE="Corium_AZ, post: 135715, member: 3357"] Hate to beat a dead horse here, but supply & demand explains all of this... New mods are priced such that the modders can turn a profit & make a living. Additionally, if they could move significantly more units (added supply, following demand), they could set lower prices to recoup on volume. No one here would order a new mod if the same one popped up in classifieds at used prices (lets say $250, vs $350 inclusive of donor value), as your needs would be supplied, and at a better price point. You'd only order a new one if you couldn't easily find a used one, and you WANTED it bad enough to justify the cost (demand). Clearly, used mods selling for $100 less than new is a direct result of the seller being willing to get out @ that price. Human nature. Generally speaking the buyer strives to pay as little as possible for what he wants, & seller the highest price he can get. We meet at the proverbial crossing of supply & demand 'curves'. Econ 101... And, I disagree on the comment about Mesa & Marshall amps. They too can and regularly do sell for 75% or less at resale. That's why I buy almost nothing new, lol. Same goes for most guitars, pedals, cars, appliances, etc, etc. New is more, 99% of the time. As for Randall head units, there is a glut of them on the market, and few buyers, hence the low prices. Now, the egnater mod heads are a different story, and you can see that... Just my 22 cents, Lol [/QUOTE]
