so there's the sub-prime mortgage thing, credit in general being overextended, the person or organization who did the crazy billions-of-dollars options trade... i'm genuinely curious why a shitload of $3k Marshalls have popped up on eBay in the past month or two whereas before they were wayyyy less common.

if shit's gonna go south, now is the relative "sell high" time, so you'll have good selling prices now and have liquid cash to buy shit in 6 months or a year or whenever prices have dropped enough to make you happy...

anybody else have any indicators, or any other info to support my Marshall-selloff-means-coming-doom theory?

also, good indicators showing the opposite, that economic reality for America is gonna swing to the good side, please share those too. don't wanna look with blinders on.

This may also explain why people are selling Travis Bean Standard's for $6500. I would say watch the Beans people. The Bean will reveal all.


I NEED TO LEARN HOW TO IMBED LINKS SO STEVE DOESN'T HAVE TO DO IT FOR ME

What do you mean by "shit's gonna go down"? A recession?

If we're talking more than just a recession, there's that martial law shit I posted in the Stu whatever is a Douche thread.

Sorry, don't know how to link to a specific post. Can you do that?

Watch the auctions for gold bullion on eBay. A shitload of people have been bidding on gold lately whereas like even 4 years ago, I said gold and people said "meh."

Here's some nice brick.

So, to sum up, the indicator should be.....ebay's stock price?

I've seen some vintage amps being sold that I never thought would be sold.

A trapezoidal Hiwatt DR103 in Philly?

An all White late 60's Marshall?

Someone wants to get rid of this stuff before it all goes south.

Earthlink laid off 900 people in Atlanta today. Good times.

Yeah, are you referring to music gear prices, or something more general?

i'm using the common American slang expression "shit's going down" which means that something is happening now or is about to happen.

if you read the initial post with an eye for paying attention, it should be obvious this isn't a thread about gear prices, that was just an example I tacked on to the others I listed before it.

i'm talking general economic type stuff.
