The worst part of it is that they're all getting Fender Squiers or Gibson Juniors and so nothing worth looking at ever crops up in the used section at the stores. (There are exceptions, of course, but I'm guessing it's not some titchy kid who got rid of my Rickenbacker 330.)
Who the hell are you to deserve a 330 when I don't have one??? :-)
This is a good point, though. Buying a second hand guitar at an actual shop is becoming impossible, because the shops all put ridiculous prices on them. Fortunately, here in nyc, there's a second hand show at a church twice a year. A lot of the "good" stuff is still fairly pricey, but you can find some deals, and there are some el weirdo guitars that are cheap, but still quite good players - and have the advantage that people look at them and go "what the hell is THAT??". I've built up a small collection of those. :-)
