What the??

So after having a lovely conversation with @Simon Says who’s very kindly offered to send me some goodies from his company.

I started looking for a tube screamer pedal, amongst other things.

What the heck is going on with certain pedal prices ? I’m not talking about 80’s stuff, which is ridiculous, but used new stuff.

Example A:

Here’s my beat up tube screamer, that I’ve dragged along behind my car, twatted it with a bike chain, taken an angle grinder to it and I’ve lost the box and the power lead, but it’s basically mint, only used in my studio, for about 95% of new retail price. But basically you’re getting a piece of musical history at a bargain price

Example B:

Here’s my mint Boss DS1. Boxed, instruction manual, everything it came with new, for 45% of new retail. (A realistic deal).

I’m mean what the??

Is it just me, or has the world today gone absolutely mad?
There's a cost to relic anything, whether skill is involved or not.
