Tim Plains Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Whenever I sell gear I list it on both CL and kijiji. I find that all my buyers come through kijiji and all I ever get from CL are scammers. You know, the guys who say they'll pay the asking price, or more, and have their shipping company pick up the guitar. That's all I ever get from CL nowadays. What do you have the most (or least) success with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketman Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 I've neither failed nor succeeded because I have never sold anything. Not even my cars, which I either donate or give to a family member. The guitars stay with me though . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FarnsBarns Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Only ever sold one, mentioned it to a few friends, 2 interested parties worked it up to twice it's brand new price. No listing fees, no shipping, no trust issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Searcy Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 I've bought and sold tons of gear on Ebay and rarely has their been an issue. CL on the other hand has been nothing but a huge waste of time to me. People telling you they will meet up to look at the guitar and never showing. Little kids trying to get your guitar for free. I don't bother with it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvanPC Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Good thread. I've been struggling with this decision myself lately. I've got every bit of gear I've ever owned going back 17 or so years and I want to get rid of a ton of it. I've been torn on how to go about doing it though. Trade-in credit at a retailer is almost robbery, so I want to sell it outright. I'm brand new to ebay, and am "testing" the selling of a few video games right now. If it goes well, I may graduate to trying to sell my gear there. I've heard too many horror stories about CL though...do'nt have the gumption to try that.

Bowdiddley Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 I've had good luck on CL and EBay selling gear but never a guitar. I can't part with them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FarnsBarns Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Anyone ever actually sell something here in the Trading Post? I've wondered about that, have several WTBs in there but there's not much evidence of any real activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saturn Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 I've sold many more items on eBay, but if we're only talking about guitar related gear I think I've done more off CL. That's just because some things are too difficult or cost prohibitive to ship. I'll have to look into this kijiji thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
