[noyank11]

I want my TimeFactor just like you do,but this is silly,I've gotten 2 (preorder,not in stock) quotes @ $350 shipped http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120179191808&ssPageName=ADME:B:WNA:US:1123 (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-1751-2978-71/1?AID=5463217&PID=2678043&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2FeBayISAPI.dll %3FViewItem%26item%3D120179191808%26ssPageName%3DA DME%3AB%3AWNA%3AUS%3A1123)

I'm a gearhead,been looking for TimeFactors for a week,even tried to get Eventide to sell direct through 'artist relations',no can do.Congrats to the lucky buyer & luckier seller,somehow though this seems like a ZANY bidding war,not judging,hell-I know I'm crazy,but...

I watched that as well....crazy! :NUTS The beauty of a bidding war! I just bought one from American Musical Supply for $360 shipped.

Why is there such a shortage of timefactors being made?
are they all made in US, as opposed to other manufacturers (eg line6) manufacturing offshore?
I want to get one, but they are so hard to find

Must be an "instant classic".... :messedup
simply ridiculous...

I was going to bid on this but soon as it went over $350 (price of a brand new unit not a used one) I figured I would just wait the 1 extra week to get mine...

GAS addicts w/too much $$$ and too little patience... seen it many times before and in many different hobbies - the silliest one I know was a guy who was paying like $500 for the "new" $250 hockey stick so he could have it a week before it came out. Yeah and he broke it real quick.

where have y'all seen it for $350, I haven't seen it advertised for less than $399...
