Fractal Audio Systems mystery product speculation

[unix-guy]

Yes, if the helix can already be nine years old, what is the fractal axeX3? It’s only a half that isn’t it so yeah the axefx3 is relatively young compared to thr helix

About 6 years old...

How is it selling on facebook marketplace where you are? I don't have an account and have to use my wifes. You get some time waster emails and low balls but I've found it a lot easier and stress free than ebay. Plus once it's sold it's sold, there's no coming back after a few months with buyers remorse and using ebay distance selling regs to force you to refund.

I’ve never tried it. But it’s obviously time this old dog learns some new tricks.

I don't mind Reverb.

10% fees total is pretty good for a kid who grew up getting 30%-40%
retail on trade in, or had to pay 20% for consignment fees.

I don't think Reverb is any dumber or more challenging an endeavour than any
other that involves humans.

Honestly, I’ve always felt the same way up until this sale. And I don’t think my beef is with Reverb so much as with the USPS.

Worth giving it a go. You've got a much smaller pool of people to sell to but no fees to worry about. If someone low balls me or asks an unbelievably stupid question I just ignore them.

FFS this thread has hyped me so badly on buying a fractal I'm now looking at FM3s. I'd get all the effects and the amp modelling to check out. I've already checked the dimensions and I can fit it on my board

Heatpump service […]

You can visit me in Germany for a heat pump service. We got one installed this spring and now I‘m getting a nasty 6 KHz whistling noise when I play guitar and the heat pump is active. Pretty annoying.

How much more gigs am I supposed to play without this thing existing? I'm not gonna buy it anyway, but I'd like to have some of whatever "that gig certainly would've went better with an FX4!" rubbed in!

I'm in N Ireland and don't have the funds yet or I'd have sent you a message already.

I bought a macbook and a budda Wah this month so my gas funds are wiped out.

Where in Germany are you?

I will say this: simply selling to those clowns at GC for pennies on the dollar is looking better and better.

I got $6-something (sub 50, but more than 625 if I remember right) a couple months ago at GC.

A GC sale is....and I can't believe I am saying this STILL; not a terrible option.

It’s funny, I don’t sell broken shit, but I do prefer the anonymity of Kijiji, etc. I don’t love everyone I know knowing what/when I’m selling and I don’t love the buyer having access to my Facebook profile even if it’s just the main pic or whatever.

yeah, just because the sale is cash and I'm out doesn't mean I'm not gonna get harassed by some buyer-regret-lunatic down the road...

1) why are all my GIF options blocked out

2) ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT

In all seriousness, GC isn't bad for selling mid range to cheap gear. As it gets more expensive that gap widens for your return.

If you have a bunch of pedals and just want to wholesale them, GC isn't bad

Expensive guitar or amp, feel like it has to be reverb
