Members guitarbilly74 Posted July 22, 2010 Members Share Posted July 22, 2010 apparently never. I ran an ad here for a decent amp for a real good, low price, I have great references etc.. almost 300 views on the thread, nothing.. put it on CL .... nothing.. put it on the bay and it already has 1 bid. It sucks, but looks like eBay is still the best place to sell gear, it sucks because I hate their policies with a passion. But oh well... This butthurt moment has been brought to you by... Billy!!

Members NaturalBornBoy Posted July 22, 2010 Members Share Posted July 22, 2010 I bought my N4 off of eBay so as a buyer, no I don't want it gone. Why is it bad being a seller though Billy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is it bad being a seller though Billy? oh don't even get me started.. threats of payment holds even though I have 100% positive feedback, ridiculous end-of-auction charges on top of paypal charges, you can't give a negative to a buyer so they hold you hostage etc etc.. it's {censored}ing hell, but apparently it's either that or no sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ron Burgandy Posted July 22, 2010 Members Share Posted July 22, 2010 If ya want the top dollar for your gear, you gotta deal with the BS of the general public. Harmony Central is full of musicians looking for good deals, so if you wanna sell here you have to offer good deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members les_paul Posted July 22, 2010 Members Share Posted July 22, 2010 Mostly Mr. Bobby is right. However, 'round these parts I've found trades get you the best bang for your buck. If you're looking for straight cash, unfortunately eBay sets the standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members leadfootdriver Posted July 22, 2010 Members Share Posted July 22, 2010 Last I checked, I didn't like the fact that they strong arm you into using Paypal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RaceU4her Posted July 22, 2010 Members Share Posted July 22, 2010 i never understood all the ebay hate around here? now granted ive never sold anything on there but looking at my gear i dont think there is a piece i didnt get off ebay minus chords and pedals and accessories and stuff, and i find parts for my hot rods and other hobbies that would take me years to track down without ebay on a daily basis.

Members Mr. Brady Posted July 22, 2010 Members Share Posted July 22, 2010 It sucks for sellers as you can't give feedback and you might have your funds on hold until the buyer gives you feedback. The pro is that you have a lot more people looking and typically can sell things for higher prices. I don't mind buying from established power sellers, but I don't sell on there. I've generally had no trouble moving stuff on here if I need to, you just have to have stuff priced lower than e-bay, but then you don't have to pay fees to list things here.

Members pioneerprogress Posted July 22, 2010 Members Share Posted July 22, 2010 If I had the $$$ to spare, I'd have bought that thing from you a couple of weeks ago Fortunately for you, if you sell it on ebay, you'll get what you're asking for, and then some. Too bad eBay sucks all kinds of balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slaws Posted July 22, 2010 Members Share Posted July 22, 2010 Has selling used gear to Musicians Friend been mentioned? I've never done it but I assume they will offer you nowhere near what you would want for your gear. Anybody have experience with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kenny Powers Posted July 22, 2010 Members Share Posted July 22, 2010 I used to sell like crazy, but then after enough gear whoring, I stopped for close to a year (including purchases). I recently sold something, and forgot about how the paypal fees wouldnt clear until I got positive feedback. I express mailed everything to the guy (free) so it could clear asap, and the guy has it held while he is on vacation for a week... awesome.
