Selling vintage?

[troyad]

So, I'm thinking over the possibility of maybe selling a couple strats. Where do regular non-dealer/collector dudes go to market stuff? I don't really want to lose 20% to commission and stuff like ebay/reverb is just too full of scammers and BS. Any suggestions you guys have would be very much appreciated.

Try the classified section here :hmm

Oh I was totally planning on doing that but I didn't want to post this then post an ad and have people think I was phishing, so to speak. Don't want to break any rules!

I never had any problems problems on Reverb...

Reverb is ok unless cme chimes in and you have to pay them to buy your guitar. I don't think a selling utopia exists in this country. You get low balled at the show and reamed everywhere else.

I usually have my best luck here and on the Gear Page, although items move slowly. That is also true on eBay and Reverb. I think Reverb beats eBay, and they don't basically force you into accepting PayPal. Also, I'd advise you to go back in time about two months to when I was in the market for a vintage Strat. ;-)

Bottom: 9/56 body, 10/56 neck. Big, mild V neck. For the nerds: distinctive worm routing of late 56, early 57 bodies. I have always been partial to the V necks--never got over a 57 Esquire I sold and immediately regretted.

I hope these aren't the guitars you are selling. :wah

Why is that?

That would be spam. :ganz


Might be time to post your guitars in the classifieds. :hmm
