Blackout bridge prices

[jeffb1979]

I've noticed legit sd blackouts on reverb and purchased one myself but I'm just curious why are they so cheap, like $50 when others like the bw or dist its pretty rare and are usually all around $99

Are you sure they are legit? Lots of fakes out there lately...

Do you mean the AHB1-b? Where did you see that for $50?

I'm on Reverb scouting for pickups pretty regularly. There's no new Blackouts humbuckers for $50. Maybe some used near that price plus shipping. Duncan sets price minimum no legit dealer would be able to sell that low. Now I have seen where I guess a dealer gets revoked and then they blowout inventory at much lower prices. But I don't see that going on with Blackouts right now or showing up in past reverb sales....

You didn't actually mention "new." Are these used? I've got a set of Blackouts I may part with. $50 ea. would be close to my target asking price.

(At least, in this forum.)

For some reason, used actives sell for a LOT less than they do new. I see used EMGs, Fluence, Blackkouts, etc. all the time for $100-$125/set, even signature models.
