Members guitarbilly74 Posted September 17, 2008 Members Share Posted September 17, 2008 I've had so many annoying experiences with CL that I was already about to stop posting there altogether but hey it's free so... anyway I posted my Peavey Ultra Plus for sale for $480 - I went a little higher than what I wanted with the price because I was already expecting the massive low-balling. So I get an email from this guy saying "I 'm very interested let me know if still available" .. I am thinking "oh boy, here we go" but replied with my phone number. Much to my surprise, the guy calls me almost immediately and says he wants the amp. No low-balling at all. He lives close to where I practice so I told him I could drop it off on my way to practice and he agrees. I get there and the guy tries the amp for a few minutes - good player btw- handles me the full amount and even gives me an extra $20 for bringing it to him ( I didn't even ask for it). Not once he tried to haggle the price, guy's a real class act. Now why OH WHY can't everybody deal like that?? Is it that {censored}ing hard??

Members OverDriven Posted September 17, 2008 Members Share Posted September 17, 2008 I've always had really good experiences with CL. I also like selling things in person rather than dealing long distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bumhucker Posted September 17, 2008 Members Share Posted September 17, 2008 Thats the way it should be. When I bought my recto I gave the guy the grand that he wanted, no low balling. I hate haggling over 50 bux, its so shady if its a fair price to begin with. I'm also sick of seeing Epiphone LP's on CL for $400 bucks... Oh well, glad you had luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members trey85stang Posted September 17, 2008 Members Share Posted September 17, 2008 dude I've been trying to sell a car and I got an offer of a collection of law gnomes as down payment.. that's the kind of {censored} that usually happens to me on CL I tried to sell a cheap (full size) 5pc drum kit with an almost brand new set of zidljian cymbals ($250 new) for $100 because I didnt have the space for it anymore... I got emailed all day long telling me the price was ridiculously high but they would give me $50, $60, $70 to help me out as a favor Needless to say I pulled all the drum heads off, trashed them, stacked the shells and put the whole thing in the attic.

Members xtchc1978 Posted September 17, 2008 Members Share Posted September 17, 2008 I have had good luck on CL in the past but nothing but low ballers and time wasters for the past few months. You are lucky to have found a good buyer like that, not a good time to be selling gear. You got a good price for it too, now you will just regret selling it down the road, but at least you didn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
