Navy Vet. Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Are we allowed to put up guitars for sale on this site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedzep Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 The 'For Sale' forum has been deep-sixed, but it doesn't stop folks from making others aware that they have an instrument to sell. What happens after info sharing is none of Gibson's business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbluesplayer Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 In the past 10 years, I think they haven't allowed it, except in the For Sale section. And that's gone now I think. Maybe it's in some rules somewhere. Not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 This has come up a few times, but there are no issues with listing for sale items. The reason the for sale forum was shut down is that it was being abused. ppl would sign up for an account, with the sole intent being post multiple links to reverb and ebay auctions. Ksdaddy, if you're out there, ...  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 What kidblast said. Pretty loose actually. If you have something you want to sell and want to share it, that's fine. This is clearly not a good place to sell anything, which was self evident from watching the lack of activity in the for sale section. And of course people would join the forum with the sole purpose of selling something, and then vaporize. I would consider the forum as a place to give other enthusiasts a 'heads up' rather than as a platform to sell. If we were chatting about Gibson Crests and someone was thinking about putting theirs on ebay or Reverb, I think it would be a win/win to say so, and almost a disservice to the community to NOT say so. Just an example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 If you haven't yet Reverb is a good place to sell. Lower fees than Fleabay. I sold a guitar there yesterday in 3 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
