So i started researching the organ, and OMG it is SUPER RARE and IMPORTANT. but nothing is quite like the battle over this Lowrey DSO-1 Organ. We have had lots and lots of arguments in the last 13 years.
has a bazzillion ( 75 or 90 i did not count yet ) tubes in it, and it has a Leslie inside it, and it is a ton of fun. its on the porch, and i play that organ, ON THE PORCH. They immediately had a shit fit, and want it gone gone gone.
so that was when my girlfriend and family learned that there REALLY WAS AN ORGAN IN THE VAN. I had to make space in the van to go buy a new mattress and bed. Then i moved, from an apartment into a house. The organ became a bit of a joke, because people always asked what was in the van and i said ” a church organ ” and they would laugh, little did they know there really was an organ in the van. anyway, i grabbed the speakers and for some reason i grabbed the organ, and herc-ed it up into the van and went to work. they looked big, and old, and they ended up being a big pair of 1960s Fisher speakers. for some reason i stopped, mainly because of the speakers. it was mixed in with a sofa, and some old speakers, and blinds and other trash. I was driving on my way to work in my van and i saw an organ outside of a church, at the curb for trash. īut i broke that rule back in the beginning of the year. However i always had a rule with my musical gear, which was ” NO ORGANS ”. guitars, drums, and especially SYNTHESIZERS. Personally, I'd rather have a good A-100.ĮBay sellers of any kind of organ seem to find a way to put "B3" in the item description.I am a gear nut. That's another artifact of the insanely high selling prices of B3s. There's been a widespread practice for years that I deplore of buying an older B-series Hammond and junking the guts, then buying an A-100 series and scrapping the case and power amps, putting the manuals and preamp into the B case to make a "B3." Takes two perfectly good classic old Hammonds to make one fake B3. Oh yeah, then there are the fake B3s, or other organs called B3s.
Fake sellers use pictures and descriptions from other auctions. And lots of items like B3s have been appearing that are scams. There's lots of skullduggery with sellers using shill bidders to drive them up.
Buyers see those and assume that's what they're worth, and it snowballs. When somebody sees a particular example go for an exceptionally high price, they assume that's what they're ALL worth and sellers start asking high starting prices or setting high reserves. eBay drives price inflation on collectibles of all sorts. Harvey's the man! That is of course a humorous article.
