Default Prices on Reverb

Lately I've been buying miscellaneous electric gear (pedals, boards, etc.) and I've found that prices on Reverb really suck compared to the online big boys (like Sweetwater, i.e.). I bought a Digitech Jamman Solo XT looper, brand new, cheaper than any price USED on Reverb. I've priced other items that I've been considering, or actually purchased, with similar results. It seems like the vendors who list there price their items and then add on shipping charges which discourage anyone with any common sense to buy anything. I mean, one might save a nominal amount there buying a used item, but not enough, in my opinion, to override a new purchase elsewhere.

Maybe if you're looking for a unique item, like a used guitar, there may be some good buys to be had, but I'm pretty turned off with what I've seen on other stuff.

How about you?
