    Yeah it's like a franchise chain of Pawn Shops in Australia, sometimes referred to as 'Cashies'. Typically a rip off, but I have got some good stuff from there over the years.

    Even when I spot a bargain, it's worth having a go at 'would you take less'.
    Depending on the sales rep. you may end up with less of a 'rip off'.

    Having said that though, I've certainly seen some items priced way over what you know they are worth.

    cheers, Mark.

    They are less fun here too since the advent of the internet. It used to be that if you knew what you were looking at you could find some real gems, since the owners were seldom musicians. Now they just look on the internet and have a ballpark idea of the price.

    If I compare to my youth the cost of decent equipment is certainly less. But hidden gems are rarer and a reasonable deal on an older US made instrument or amp has gone the way of the dodo...although you can still find a good deal on a Peavey. They've never gotten the love they probably deserve....
