Looking to get rid of some gear I haven’t played in years (76 silver face twin reverb, 07 koa telecaster, 01 SG with EMGs) and was wondering what the best method was these days.

It seems most of the local places have shut down.

I've sold 2 guitars on Reverb the last couple of months, and feel like I did pretty well on both of them.

I had both listed as local pickup only, and I live in a very low population area.
Considering where you live and what you have for sale, you might do even better and sell yours faster.

If you want to avoid fees and shipping costs and woes, Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist are no-cost options. In the case of the latter, the BR CL has been in a perpetual rut of the same gear listed and relisted over and over and over in recent times. A fresh listing will garner interest strictly because it hasn't been seen yet.

Baton Rouge Music Exchange sells used gear on consignment. Call them for more information.

Facebook Marketplace


I’ve sold a few things on Marketplace but it is a chore sifting through all the scammers and all the dumbasses.

Examples:
Have two 210 cabs for sale, like new only six months old (price still a steal for like new), local only sale.

-Hey, I would like to buy those (never hear from again)
-I am interested, please send me your phone number
-I’ll give you $50 for them
-I’ll take those. Me: Where do you live? Them: Near Atlanta. Me: it’s local only. Them: You can meet me just outside Atlanta. Me: I’m in Birmingham.
-I’ll take those if you can come down $100. Me: Looks like you live in Arizona. Not shipping these. Them: Why not? You could get a decent rate. Me: You going to pay shipping, for the shipping materials, and me for the hassle? Them: No, why?

It’s a chore!
