I think the "working" pedals ended up being priced closest to "market value" in regards to all the gear listed, and the broken ones were priced fairly high unless you are savvy w/ electronic circuits then the vintage stuff could be close to a nice deal. I sorta disagree on some of the pedals being "average" or common/run of the mill, a portion of the pedals broken or not were somewhat rare vintage or "custom/boutique" along side ones that were common and priced crazily (i.e. two of Kim's Ibanez TS-9 tubescreamers were priced at $500 a piece, vintage or not, I would not pay that price...). I also thought quickly about the EHX deluxe memory man, but i have a vintage 80's one now in storage, and have had 3 others in the past that i have sold off... didn't need another in conjunction with i think they have a large footprint and other makers make nearly as good or better sounding units with current technology components and in smaller sizes (i.e. Strymon El Capistan & Brigadier, MXR deluxe Carbon Copy...etc)
the guitars needed alot of work if they were to become "playable", i thought the music man stingray was a decent deal until i read that the frets were heavily worn... I don't want to deal with getting a refret job done from a local tech/luthier. The electronics on guitars are not too complicated, its when the setup/intonation is outta whack in conjunction with hardware issues that make it less worthwhile.
...this brings it back to that this sale and others of this kind are more for "the collector" than to "the player", nonetheless interesting and providing more insight into the band's gear over the years that was not captured in the gearography section of this site.
