Title: need some advise (about selling my guitar)
Post by: maliciousteve on July 29, 2006, 06:26:48 PM
Hey guys, i've put my 7 string up for sale on ebay for £600 starting bid and no reserve. Would you say that is a reasonable price for it? I paid £1000 for from Jonathan at feline guitars and i thought it was a good price being as there is hardly any damage to it. I'm not really advertising it on here i was just looking for some advise. Cheers guys

If you think it's worth 600, then sure.
If you think it's worth more, I would set a higher reserve on it, and start the bidding at 600, however.

I think that is a very resonable price. But i think why you dont have a ton of bids already is the fact that you've said collection only. By not offering postage you've cut down your market considerably.

And although it may be (and proably is) worth £600, the market is already quite small as it's a 7 string - which appear to have gone out of fashion again

collection only and the single pickup, it's the kind of thing that doesn't attract random bidders, but i think it's the sort of one that will get one person that really wants it, which i imagine was you when you bought it off feline in the first place!  it's definately a niche item, but it's a good one, don't let it go for peanuts.  that being said, if you want to sell it to me for a fiver....... :P

Be shure to include some very nice pictures. It helps selling alot. Look like you're putting some serious effort in selling but don't look desparate.
