$1,100....

I bitched about paying $675 for mine.

What makes this one so special? Did I miss something, or did somebody get ripped?

Yeah, that auction went ballistic. There was another DC-5 head up at the same time...I panicked and hit B-I-N for $800, which included a flight case. I'm glad I did! The head is absolutely flawless. I think the guy I got it from was a bit bummed he had a buy-it-now after seeing what the other one finished at.

My first Mesa. Why'd I wait so long?

I saw a combo, with ext. cab and flight case go for $700 that same day. People are crazy. If it were me, I would have waited a week or 2 and picked one up.

What's wrong with that?

...not that my having one for almost a decade now and having paid just under 5 bills for one in primo shape has anything to do with it.


BTW, the DCs do come up on ebay occasionally, but still pretty seldom, and certainly farrrr less often as the ubiquitous Mark series. Picking up a DC3, 5, or 10 in good shape is a great "investment" in tone IMHO, as these do not enjoy the immediate "kudos" in the market's eye that Mesa's usual suspects get. Maybe the secret is getting out

This is why I dont bid on ebay anymore. You know that DC5 had some shell bidding going on. The whole new bidder 1, bidder 2 thing is BS and drawing out all the dishonest sellers and I refuse to bid on anything unless it has a BIN price.

I just picked up a DC3 1x12 combo locally for $400, loving the little bugger.
