Because I'm on their mailing list, GC sent me a note a couple months back hailing their cash for gear program. I had an American HH Strat (spotless condition, OHSC, candy, and tri-sunburst) that'd been hanging around for a while here and took it in. After 45 minutes of ticking around on his system, the "appraiser" came back with an offer of $325.
He couldn't even look me in the eye. I passed, of course. He mumbled, "I don't blame you."
Is an HH Strat the most desirable guitar? No. Does GC need to make money on the transaction? Yes.
But it was clear to me that the 65% deal was out the window and, I suspect, taking advantage of people who need money during this craziness is what was happening.
Thankfully, I didn't need the money.
