Members Blackface Posted May 18, 2012 Members Share Posted May 18, 2012 I just used that setup for my most recent guitar purchase. It worked out pretty well. I had it shipped to the nearest GC since I didn't want it sitting out on my front porch all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members honeyiscool Posted May 18, 2012 Author Members Share Posted May 18, 2012 I've been getting great deals on amps and microphones from GC. I think most individuals are not really prone to wanting to ship amps on their own, and then when they do it it's like $50 so they're even less likely to do it, but GC is happy to do these transactions.

Members epi56ebony Posted May 18, 2012 Members Share Posted May 18, 2012 GC's used site and instore have some great deals once in awhile. I bought my Masterbuilt Fender 50th Anniversary Strat for 2400 at the Fountain Valley GC. I just checked the website and found that price. Missing most of the case candy but I got the guitar and the collectable case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members deanmass Posted May 18, 2012 Members Share Posted May 18, 2012 Kind of like this one I posted re: Craigslist.. http://acapella.harmony-central.com/showthread.php?2855423-Finding-gear-with-google-on-Craigslist...&highlight=google+search To buy used online from GC, you need to copy the item number, go back to the main site, then put the item into the search then add to the cart.

Members jpnyc Posted May 18, 2012 Members Share Posted May 18, 2012 Guitar Center seems to give local managers lots of leeway in setting used prices. The chain is so massive that there are lots of steals, but you have to watch for what you want. Bookmarking search results and checking daily is probably a good idea.

Members Flintc Posted May 18, 2012 Members Share Posted May 18, 2012 A great price on a used item means someone else got a terrible price selling or trading it to GC. They told me they typically sell used stuff for 40% more than they pay for it. So if you spent, let's say, $2000 for something brand new, and sold/traded it back in mint condition, they'd turn around and resell it for about $1400 as a used item. Which means you would get $1000, or just half what you paid for it. That's a stiff penalty -- and someone is sure to claim that $1400 is much too high for a used item!

If they want more money they can sell the guitar on Craigslist like anybody else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LOLRECONLOL Posted May 18, 2012 Members Share Posted May 18, 2012 Thanks! I was always doing it the long way - finding an item, copying item # to the main page - but this is much faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
