Sweetwater CEO Reacts To The Industry’s Decline

Last time my bass player were in there we saw Mitch Gallagher and flagged him down. We stood there and joked with him for a bit and then went off and tried out some gear. Their Gearfest is great but haven't done it in years.

Sweetwater doesn’t buy used gear. The gear exchange is just their version of Reverb for the public and it’s not very big yet, so I very much doubt the fees are floating the company 😂

I was told they get 7% of whatever you sell the rest they give you "SW credit" like in the old days of "wheel of fortune" where they made you spend the money you won on cheesy on-set pre-picked overpriced items.
So they basically get all of your money & and or value you of whatever you buy from them of course.
ah you think SW sells you items at wholesale prices ? Phuc-nah.
You're not "selling" anything. You're giving your shit away to them.
Party on Wayne.

Christ, actually read a source for fuck’s sake rather than “you heard”. Sweetwater will waive the 7% if you’re going for store credit. Otherwise you pay them the 7% and get the rest paid out out to you, the seller.

You can never have too many $875 VCR's.
You say its great i say it ain't who da fuck cares ?
SW is one of the most gimmicky outfits around and Mitch Gallager looks & talks like a creepy robot.

That is totally weak. I would say they can keep it, they obviously need it more than us.

A half dozen bit-o-honeys in every order would've kept my business 4 life but they wanted to be like one of those spendthrift neighbors on halloween handing out stacks of pennies wrapped in cellophane instead of doling out the goodies with a generous spirit. They can count their beans by themselves, alone, in a dark, flat place. Shitwater would be a better name for them now. :LOL:

What happened to the Smarties, Double Bubble and Atomic Fireballs?

That bag looks like they found them at the bottom of Grand ma's bowl underneath old Scirocco keys.
