What is the Reverb "put it in your cart" game about?
mrjamiam replied to mrjamiam's question in Ask the HFC Experts
I wondered if maybe it was trolling for the seller to offer a price break if it sat there in a cart and yet wasn't purchased. Or maybe something that I can't even think of. -

So, a shill account? Or three shill accounts? Etc.? -
What is the Reverb "put it in your cart" game about?
mrjamiam posted a question in Ask the HFC Experts
Although I shouldn't, I have returned to looking at (for) guitars on Reverb. Some of the listings announce that the offering is in someone else's cart already, but days later it's the same thing. One of them was in a cart for days, and when I checked just now it's in two more carts. What is meant to be achieved by this? It doesn't seem that someone was shopping, meant to make a purchase and then saw a squirrel. I'm thinking it's a signal or a strategy of some kind. Can anyone enlighten poor simple me, whose process is "see guitar, like guitar, buy guitar"? I'm not much into gaming systems, although I know that it happens. -
What's a good blues/jazz neck pickup for Tele?

Whatever Josh winds for you. -
You do realize that when a new owner takes possession, after you sell it or even give it away, they can do what they want to with it?

I expect he will catch some crap for that part, from wheelchair users and their advocates. I don't remember who it was and therefore can't give credit for the quote, but it was memorable enough that I have remembered for a long time: "I'm not confined to a wheelchair. Confined is what I would be if I didn't have a wheelchair."

Nine out, two and a half in over the past six weeks or so. Not a bad ratio, but hard to keep up because it was all low-hanging fruit. Sold 5 great condition non-Hamers, and donated 4 not-worth-muches in good condition to a local charitable make-those-kids-play-guitar effort. All the Hamers still here, plus a new-to-me 12ver Eclipse. On the lookout for a Duotone, but I guess I have competition on that front 'round these here parts. A nice Les Paul Standard 50's is the other part of the two. The half is a Fender baritone conversion neck to attach to a nice lightweight Tele-type body I had lying around, so now they are joined together and I am in the very slow process of trying to set it up. The slimming down and refocusing also entails a Boss WAZA reactive amp expander that will not only let me attenuate my tube amps (and therefore let me get the most out of them that I can, considering the neighbors) but will also be a way to hear whatever modeler I end up with, without resorting to headphones. The drought was lengthy, but now things are greening up. -
RIP Michael and condolences to you on the loss of your friend. Nashville has a lot going for it.

Gotoh bridge, if you're not a 2 Tek fan. In Arkansas, apparently. -
Specials with stripes - prices
mrjamiam replied to DarkHammer's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
That's a great-looking graphic, with the kind of wear you'd expect to see, but it looks a lot less faded/yellowed than a lot of them. Most of the hardware has been changed - tuners, pickups, knobs - but it looks like it still sports the long switch tip, if you've been looking for one. I agree that the price seems unconnected to current reality, but I looked for quite a while for mine and had to pay over the odds as compared to a non-graphic Special of similar vintage. If the selling prices get anywhere near that, I might persuade myself to let mine go. -
