In particular, he addressed those people who saw the inflated listings (the profit-taking) and complained he had raised the price \u2013\u00a0reminding pedal buyers that they had 19 years to buy it before he mentioned it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople listing for $600 and people buying them for $600 are two very different things,\u201d emphasised Scott. \u201cSit back, relax, and enjoy guitar with what you have.\u201d The price, he assured them, will eventually come back down.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This, we imagine, will precipitate the panic stage. That is the point when a market suddenly and collectively understands it\u2019s lost its head and realises\u00a0that, for whatever reason, no-one in their right mind should pay that price \u2013\u00a0and listings subsequently head south.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the ever-droll Scott has taken to Instagram to debut two amusing new T-shirt designs in the pedal\u2019s signature green tone, both priced at $25.<\/p>\n<p>One design reads, \u201cI bought a Bad Monkey for $49, now they\u2019re $650.\u201d The other states: \u201cI can\u2019t afford a Bad Monkey because now they\u2019re $650.\u201d \u201cSo there\u2019s a shirt for everybody\u201d, notes Scott, somewhat wryly.<\/p>\n<p>So there we have it. An economics lesson delivered in pedal form. For now: hold tight to your purse strings, enjoy the memes and try to resist the urge to get involved.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That being said, we <em>would<\/em> be tempted by an \u201cI bought a Bad Monkey for $650\u201d T-shirt.
