“You a nirvana fan?”
“Yeah man, Enter Sandman is the best!”

[mandarin]

Normal people throw picks off stage, and Kurt was throwing pedals…

[danejurus]

"I have the Strat Hendrix used at Woodstock."
"Best I can do is a coupon for a free hamburger."

[EdwinDPZ]

He should just keep it, it'll be worth a lot more after Kurt dies or the band breaks up.

[blakedavis]

"You a big Nirvana fan?"
"Uh, yeah... All I can remember listening to as a kid was uh... Smells like Teen Spirit... "
Yeah. Big fan.

[aydenporter]

“This is the amp that John Lennon played on the rooftop of abbey road studios”

The best I can do is 50 bucks

[eurynomeiposdraven]

I wouldn't sell this at all. My god it's history and being a huge fan of Kurt's it would mean the world to me.

[jamesearls]

And his guitar just sold for 6 million dollars i would have bought that no question. A great investment

[ZerMemry]

"Kurt Cobain played it"
"Who? Kirk Cabin? Best I can do is $5."

[dylancool]

"27-year old guitar pedal that Kurt Cobain used in concert in 1993? Let me call up a buddy of mine who's an expert on 27-year old guitar pedals that Kurt Cobain's used in concert in 1993."

[williamshepherd]

Kurt almost never used a DOD grunge it was just on his pedalboard essentially as a joke

[jasonscherer]

Corey: "Best I can do is $500."
Seller: "Smells Like Highway Robbery."

[cpiper]

maybe not 15 grand but definitely at least 5 if kurt really used it. I personally wouldn't sell it, priceless to me

[AqvaSerpentis]

15, 000 dollars? Best I can do is 6 dollars

[mainsmain]

"You a big nirvana fan?"
"yeah smells like teen spirit" he's not a nirvana fan he's a trend guy

[zayaanderson]

bro imagine saying your a big nirvana fan then selling a pedal that KURT HISELF played. like any true nirvana fan would literally hold on to that for the rest of their lives

[mateorincon]

Corey: "So you are a big Nirvana fan? Alright, tell me 4 songs by them.
That man: Smells, like, teen, spirit.

[nickknight]

You could tell that Cory actually cared about Kurt Cobain when after they couldn't make deal he said "you didn't lose today man"

[SeveralFour]

To be honest I wouldn’t even sell it I mean it’s just a pedal!! Homie should just get a guitar and some gear and use it. ;)

[snapascrew]

Offers him 500
reply: "id be willing to go down to the 5000 range"...
