Sell vs Trade in

FloridaGull,

Same as most things if you need the money sell.
If you fancy a new or a particular guitar, see what you could get for a trade in of 1 to 6 guitars.

I tend to go for trade in, as the local guitar shop normally gives me a very good deal on trade in, especially if I've bought the trade in guitar from him in the first place.

I have bought many things on Craigslist over the years, including at least two guitars and two cases just off the top of my head. My Honda motorcycle and a Ford ranger came from there, just to name a few.

FloridaGull,Derick,TonyKgull,seagullplayer,I despise social media. I'm not going reverb because I ain't shipping- if they don't sell, oh well-

Used to use market place a lot. Still use it to find a good deal now and then. Don't care much for selling on any of the platforms because lots of folks say they are coming but don't show up.
Plan to trade my Gretsch in on the GS7 or leave it at the music store on consignment. I only have a few guitars but would like to have fewer. Cutting back as rigormortis is gaining a foothold

I can't stand any social media platform. It's much easier to buy than sell anything. I used to deal with Ebay long ago and sold a lot of crap I didn't want then of course to pay or get a payment Paypal gets their cut. Later maybe a year ago I bought two items off Ebay from sellers who could process a card. Craigslist I used to sell last time this year I gave away stuff just to get rid of all the aquariums someone left me with even that was a hassle yet it worked.

Reverb charges $50 to sell if they handle the entire thing, don't know how the shipping works think you ship to them not sure.

Guitar center offers nothing in a trade, seems you always lose.
