Great ideas thank you

Great advice. Like what you say about honesty. I havent done a lot of selling like you but I've always been brutally honest with my gear, photos, etc. Amazing how many scams and scammers out there. I seem to get nothing but those on Craigs List.

You're right about that.

I have a client who is wanting to sell some of his guitars. He was the lead singer/guitarist for the legendary band LITTLE FEAT abd has written songs and/or performed with artists such as CHER, Steve Perry of Journey, Ace Frehley of KISS etc etc etc...can you DM me? Thanks Melody

Hi Brenda, I appreciate it but just don't have time to be of much help. Anyone with a pedigree like his should sell on Reverb and promote the sales on social media. I'm sure he'll do great! Also if he remembers if he played any of the guitars on any specific recordings put that info in the listing, that will help bring in more money. If you do, come back and give me the web link and I will promote it on my channel and maybe get a few more people to come your way. Thanks for checking out my page! -Richard

Well said bro!! Great video, I love buying and selling guitars!! Do you ever sell on Reverb? If so do you have a Reverb store? Or an eBay store?

[@ForsytheVideo]

Thanks! I sell on Ebay every once in awhile but I do not have a store. I try to sell locally as much as I can.

Think I'll have any luck selling my well loved Ibanez JS BP 1000 and matching Peavey JS 120 w head and 4x12 slant cab? Very underrated gear in pristine condition. Not looking to get max value out of them. I'm just cleaning out. Don't really play that style much anymore. THANKS...

You shouldn't have any trouble at all, that's good stuff. My JSX is one of my favorite amps.

[@benpedersen6751]

where do you sell normally?

[@ForsytheVideo]

The Florida Panhandle, sometimes Ebay. I plan on opening an actual webstore of my own soon.
