I can appreciate you giving others a head's up, but let's face it... A
"bluebook" is just a book. True market value is what somebody is
willing to pay at an arm's length transaction. It may be higher or
lower than the number printed in the book (which may be current or
stale). It can be affected by convenience of purchase and condition of
the unit.

Go ahead and post "bluebook" values, but why not go easy on the "RIPOFF"
language. Allow the potential buyer to decide, armed with your
"bluebook" information.

No, I don't know the seller.

I've tried talking reason to Brian. He doesn't do this to help people. He
has a deep internal need to hurt other people.

"OFFICIAL RAM BLUEBOOK VALUATION" is actually Brian L. McCarty, a pest on
rec.audio.marketplace, where he accuses innocent sellers of various
misdeeds.

McCarty is the owner of websites http://www.coralseastudios.com, and
http://www.worldjazz.com, both of which have used fraudulent advertising in
attempts to attract investors. Both have been unsuccessful.

McCarty is an American expatriate, originally from the Chicago area,
currently living in Cairns Australia, where he manages the Baskin-Robbins
ice cream franchise located at Shop G6, 59 The Esplanade
Cairns QLD 4870
07 4051 4034
McCarty lives in the Coral Sands apartment complex at 65 Vasey Esplanade,
Trinity beach, a bit north of metropolitan Cairns.

That is really cheesy, IMHO...

The MARKETPLACE sets the true value. For guitars and amps, I often
consult used ebay auctions (but you must factor in associated risk and
shipping charges, if you have the advantage of finding a product
locally). I pay little attention to the "bluebook," which does exist
for guitars, but is only as good as the research and is outdated as soon
as it comes out.
