Purchasing advice...

[dd12939]

In looking for Vintage Mini humbuckers, I found that I could get them new for $76 after shipping from Blackrose, or I found one for $60 after shipping on Ebay (mint condition, unused). Is the 'new-ness' worth the extra 16 dollars?

Re: Purchasing advice...

If the one which costs less money is mint condition or even near-mint condition, or even decent condition, I'd go for it. That's 16 dollars closer to another pickup

Bump for ya double D. You'll definately need better opinions.

I like your thinking, Bee. Now I just have to decide if I can afford to spend the money in the next 4 days or not... :burnout:

It depends on how sure you are that you want that particular pickup. The SD 21-day exchange from a good dealer is tough to beat if you have any doubts.

yeah, i know how tight it can be when you're young and every dollar counts ... for me at that stage of life, i'dve saved the $16 (that was a week and a half's bus fare to class) ... nowadays, i'd do the blackrose to support a forum bro and enjoy the 21 day deal if needed

good luck

New, used, whatever, I don't care. As long as it's got a long lead and a cheap price, it's mine!!
