Bigsby Vol/Tone pedal goes for Big $$

A Bigsby pedal just sold for $3,050 on Ebay yesterday !?!?
Seemed a few were in a bidding war. The winning bidder had 0 feedback....so who knows if it will go threw or not.
I am sure Gruhns $7500 Bigsby pedal had some influence on this sale.

Just for a pedal? Wonder what my son's Bigsby steel would go for? If sold by weight, it should be around $300,000

I think that was some kind of prank. I have been following Bigsby pedals on ebay lately and they have been going for $250-$400.

I sold a presteen Bigsby pedal on Ebay last year, it went for $213.00, I was happy, yes, I do have several more but not for sale now.
The more valuable ones are the ones with the BIG logo on the front that Paul built himself, not the small logo ones like this one on ebay.
The fifties jobs are the most valuable, early with the large "Bigsby" name on the front.

For that kind of money, you could hire someone to turn knobs for you!!
