Members mlabbee Posted January 28, 2013 Members Share Posted January 28, 2013 I've had a few items running on Craigslist for a couple of months now - absolutely zero response other than a few offers to trade (some fair, some bizarre). I haven't even gotten lowball offers . . . and I'm seeing the same items getting re-listed over and over and over again. Is this a buyers market or have people just stopped going to Craigslist? It seems really, really dead . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ermghoti II Posted January 28, 2013 Members Share Posted January 28, 2013 I've had no luck at all lately. I've had a Lite Ash Tele, a Jackson USA Rhoads V, and a Japanese Ibanez S7420 trickling down in price for a month or so. Like you say, nothing but trade offers (listing states no trades accepted). I'm going to eBay them soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lefort_1 Posted January 28, 2013 Members Share Posted January 28, 2013 I find CL to be a very regional thing.Some areas (like the Bay Area) seem to be very active...and their prices tend to be low.Up where I live ( (western Oregon) the prices are high and the action seems fairly slow...lots of relists for MSRP items.Where do yo folks live, approximately?

Members mlabbee Posted January 28, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 28, 2013 I hate to e-bay guitars, since shipping is such a hassle, but I think that's where I'm headed. The funny thing is, if I sell my guitars, there a a couple of things that have been up on CL for a while now that I will definitely be checking out . . . maybe I can start the dominos falling :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members reverberlayed Posted January 28, 2013 Members Share Posted January 28, 2013 Same stuff on my CL (some stuff literally has been relisted for years) and some cool stuff but not a whole lot of deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members macadood Posted January 28, 2013 Members Share Posted January 28, 2013 CL is still well and alive, at least in bigger cities. its a bit of a down market in general right now with people still recovering from xmas shopping and stuff. Should turn around a bit in the next few months with tax rebates and spring and stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chrisjnyc Posted January 29, 2013 Members Share Posted January 29, 2013 Yes and no. I sold 2 guitars in Nov, and have had only a few kick the tires emails on another guitar. Sold 2 pedals, a set of pickups in Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faldoe Posted January 29, 2013 Members Share Posted January 29, 2013 depends on what it is you're selling.I have some stuff listed but got a few inquies with no follow ups and one initial low ball offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
