godot2520 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 My broken hand hasn't set properly and I must part with my never played Gibson SJ200. I can't stand the ebay meat market so I am pricing it nearly $1000 less than I paid. Is there a better source? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave F Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I always try our Gibson Forum Trading post and Craigslist first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldCowboy Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I hate to see anyone turn loose of a nice instrument under that kind of circumstance. Been in similar and waited through lots more therapy to finally get right- glad not to have given up/sacrificed guitars, although the option stuck in my head constantly. Know it's none of my business, but can't help trying to lend encouragement.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorrisrownSal Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I have been ripped off on ebay. Sold a guitar... it was signed for... and a week later the buyer claimed they never got it. Buyer refunded. Me SOL. I sell on reverb. Its fantastic. Lower selling fees. Their Direct Checkout is quicker and more seemless than Paypal. Fees are less there as well. The quality of the audience is much superior too. Thumbs up reverb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brez9091 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I agree, regarding Reverb. Thank god, we now have a far superior alternative to Ebay. I just hope greed does not get the best of them too. Reverb customer service is FANTASTIC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jannusguy2 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I've sold a few things on Reverb with good results. I'll never sell another guitar on eBay. I will buy them there but not sell. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissouriPicker Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Heard good things about Reverb. Don't think I'd be hesitant to buy from it. I've bought from the classifieds in this forum. Good experiences. When I sell, I typically use Craigs List. I accept only cash and only meet in a very public place (McDonald's, a library, grocery store). You can't be too safe.

Smurfbird Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I've only bought on Reverb and everyone has been incredible. I scored a near-mint '64 J-45 for well under book. I got ripped on eBay over a reel-to-reel player that had been "refurbished'. Except when I brought it to the electronics store to figure out why there was no sound in the right channel, it turned out the machine was missing half its innards. Because I'd brought the machine to be looked at, I invalidated my chance for a full refund. I'd gotten half off when I first complained, but someone walked off with a profit that should never have been theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw3571 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Reverb is great, lower fees, and it seems like you get less bottom feeders that try to make ridiculous low offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
