Lastgasp has a bunch

I mean what's your definition of unique? We obviously differ there.

But I don't think anyone on here has ever said "yo LAL are overpriced."

That's my point.
good deals are here.

every lastgasp dirt pedal is under 250 USD (and a few under 200) if you order direct, which is easily done. his prices being inflated by overseas dealers is out of his control, so i don't think it's a valid example in this case.
i would strongly wager that LAL operates at a lower profit margin than many other boutique builders, including those on this forum.

Ok it's close enough. I guess 250 is harder to come up with off the top of my head. I did list out some in my previous post but obviously DOS doesn't see those as unique, so not sure what he considers that. Also it's not the point of what I was saying anyway. The point was that people complain for no reason because of a price. It's because they can't afford it. It's not because it's truly overpriced. Or it's because they are cheap (or frugal if that term is less offense to you).

To me if something sounds good, I'll buy it. I don't care what it costs. I'll figure it out. I sometime charge shit, buy it and sell it off for the same price just so I can try it. In fact I just did that with a Verellen Meatsmoke v.2 Not many folks would pay 600 bucks for that thing, but I did. I saw the value and obviously someone else did as well because I was able to sell it in less than a day.

I mean I think the Alpha Drive was overpriced, even at $165 or whatever it was. Do you disagree?

Is that the Freekish Blues pedal?

You are comparing shit that doesn't even enter the realm bro.

We will just have to disagree because neither one of us will agree to disagree! Hahaha

Post a board shot, I want to see if you have some uber stuff on there. Let the world see how DOS rolls. ;)

Well that's sort of my point, right? People complain about shit like the Degooped Klon/Alphadrive/etc. being overpriced, but I don't see shade thrown at people like the builders you listed.

I also don't have a pedalboard right now since most of my shit is tabletop/modular, but I can take a photo later with my toys on my desk if you want. :)
