Members Mike LX-R Posted October 10, 2012 Members Share Posted October 10, 2012 Not really, it took me 3 {censored}ing months to sell those speakers and I ended up selling 2 for the price of 1, roughly. But at least it went to a HCAF bro so {censored}ing A But yeah, I don't think I am being unreasonable with any of my prices (see sig) but still. I've been trying to sell that {censored}ing EMG for 2 months now for less than half of the new price, still nothing. It's ridiculous, I have never seen anything like this. Back in the day, 2 weeks was a long time, now {censored} just sits for months. Is your super distortion F-spaced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members nerol1st Posted October 10, 2012 Members Share Posted October 10, 2012 Depends on the gear. Guns are easy as {censored} to sell right now. Yay obama fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Elessar [Sly] Posted October 10, 2012 Members Share Posted October 10, 2012 Yes and no. I find it harder to shift guitars, but pedals are a lot easier to get rid of. But yes I am finding it a little bit harder to sell things generally at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarcapo Posted October 10, 2012 Members Share Posted October 10, 2012 It's simple. It's just the same as the housing market. Anyone who wants to buy is insisting on it being so cheap, it's not worth the seller to sell. Bleat on as much as you like about "it's only worth what people will pay"...nah, it's worth what I decide it's worth It's not worth selling for silly money, so it may as well hang around a while. It's not hurting anything by doing so. The prospect of selling nicer gear these days is either having to sell for peanuts, or put up with lamers wanting trades with their beat up old squiers or demanding you accept 1/4 of what they're advertising it for. So why bother? May as well keep it around IMO. Same with housing (in the UK at least). The nicer properties aren't on the market because people won't sell in a recession for crap money - who would? Therefore, all you get is the crap that either needs a lot of work or knocking to the ground. It's a crap time to sell, so just keep what you've got. It's a crap time to buy, so either save and buy new or improvise. That's all fine until a seller really NEEDS money because the economy is bad. Having it just "hang around" might not be an option...and it ever being valued like it was in the past might not be happening either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarcapo Posted October 10, 2012 Members Share Posted October 10, 2012 Seems like everything I want to BUY is overpriced still...for example this broken vintage amp: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Magnatone-450-A-Custom-Tube-Guitar-Amp-with-original-cover-MUST-SEE-RARE-/110960594093 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jshaffer20 Posted October 10, 2012 Members Share Posted October 10, 2012 I have a few pedals that I am trying to sell and haven't had hardly any interest. I got a few people asking for more info and then I never hear back from them. Everybody is broke it seems, me included Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mike LX-R Posted October 11, 2012 Members Share Posted October 11, 2012 regular yeah bummer that's another Dimarzio I'm curious enough about to have bought it for $40 bucks from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members murch33 Posted October 11, 2012 Members Share Posted October 11, 2012 I'm doing OK with guitar gear... It's the synths that absolutely refuse to sell. In the past couple weeks I've sold a Strat, traded an RG for an amp, and snagged an awesome Flying V off of eBay. I also picked up a 70's Tribute Firebird a couple weeks ago, but that's going back to GC. For synths, I've had a couple of really nice ones for sale for months now with barely a nibble. And my prices are LOW compared to new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hcprimerib Posted October 11, 2012 Members Share Posted October 11, 2012 the problem is that CL is full of retarded bottom feeders. not guys looking for a cool piece of gear. but mostly guys wanting to buy low and flip stuff for a little cash. so if your price isn't low, you won't get bites. I sell most of my stuff here on the detroit metro CL well under what you'd find prices in other places and my stuff usually sells within 24 hours. be it a amp, guitar, accessories, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in L.A. that's definitely not the case, there are tons of musicians on CL and I've had luck with it (buying and selling) until recently. It just dried up the last 6 months or so. I really think people are seriously {censored}ing broke, I've never seen anything like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Goop Posted October 11, 2012 Members Share Posted October 11, 2012 I really think people are seriously {censored}ing broke, I've never seen anything like this. This. For instance, if that new Peavey autodouche guitar came out 2 or 3 years ago I would have dropped $500 for one without giving it a second thought despite the fact that it has 24 frets and is made of asswood. Now I can't even add another $129 AMT pedal to my collection without destroying my budget, even though I'm making several grand more than I was a few years ago. I've had two back-to-back record high utility bills, gas is at $4/gallon, the city has hit me with $400 in specials three years in a row, a can of soup is $1.74, olololololol.......What it ultimately boils down to: no money for new gear. First world problems, I know. CSB. Ima d-bag, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Wookieslayer Posted October 11, 2012 Members Share Posted October 11, 2012 Yeah gas prices in LA at 5 bucks a gallon isn't helping either. I honestly have seen a decrease in stuff being sold as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's {censored}ing hopeless. Yeah ive had them up as feelers I guess , not gonna rape the buyer on price and nor will I give them away, so I just throw up an amp up there every so often. never get any real offers though, last ones were trades for a dual core pc and MG halfstack They'll sell when they sell I guess. Seems the only stuff that sells well are the steals. The popular maps like 5150s seem to be less for sale too, I guess less people see a point in trying to get the price they want?
