Are the Rocket Fuel and body blow that good? I never see any used ones for sale. That means only 2 things...they are that good that noone wants to get rid of them or nobody is buying them at all. Any input?

I got one from ebay like 4 or 5 months ago, i believe i paid $220 (For the Rocket Fuel). Its a great pedal, my favorite. I also have a Carl Martin Hot Drive n boost, so i compared both.
IMHO, the RF has a lot of gain and is more Tubescreamer-like (if that makes sense...), its not very transparent. The CM on the other hand, is very transparent.
On the boost section i found the RF adds more compression (again, just imo), while the CM really increases volume.
Anyway, both are great but the RF is killer, cant go wrong with that one. Hope that helps.

search function!
the Rocket Fuel was a hot item for awhile, back a year or two ago.
i thought the Rocket Fuel was a pretty decent pedal, but i sold mine. oddly i didn't like it as much as pedals i allready had, with amps that most guys went crazy over it with? if i would have kept it, it would have been for the Diezel Herbert.

Dave Simpson is a terrific business owner and has created several awesome products. 
That being said, I own the Rocket fuel pedal and it is great.
I also have the Body Blow II pedal that Dave sent me as one of the first ones that came out. Both are really nice for what they give you.
One time I had a problem with my Rocket Fuel pedal and sent it back to Dave. He fixed it and shipped it the same day it came back to him and stuck cash money inside the box with an apology note for the troubles.
The amount of cash was more than the shipping I paid. Also Dave sent me the pedal back like 2 day freight all the way across the country.
I have come to realize all this comparison A versus B stuff gets taken to the extreme on the forums.
I spend less time than before with this stuff yet still give credit for what deserves it.
If you are looking for these check with Dave Simpson. You won't be sorry.
To answer one of the OP's questions.....There are not a big turn over on these because a good bit of us that buy them Keep them. Quality products.. Just not for every one.
