Brad	Re: Tough Choice "Tremolux or Bandmaster" You'd be surprised the stuff we dig up around Denver. We can't quite figure out HOW some of these people price things. That same pawnshop had a black Squire Strat for $300. That kind of craziness is all over town. Something crappy sells high....something great sells low. Maybe it's because it's "just one of those old vacuum-tube amps...nobody uses tubes anymore". We do our best to conceal our excitement, and we NEVER tell them they've been rooked. We have no mercy for a pawnshop. Now, a second-hand or new music store...we'll be much more fair with. We WANT them to keep turning merchandise for a fair price. Pawn shops try to rip EVERYbody....so....why not go for the gold, there? Brad
