tips for selling

Post by Mo Law-ka »

hi guys,

i wasnt sure where to put this, so it goes here.

im looking to potentially sell a few (3) of my guitars. What should I do before hand? Also, where should I sell it? Would selling in a local store on commission be a good idea? Of course, i'm going to offer them to youse guyse, but selling local would be a big help.

thanks,
mo

now that i put some manland strings on it, it sounds pretty good. the pickups are nice and hot, the new pots are perfect. me only gripe is that you cant adjust individual string height.

What kind of strat is the sunburst one? I'd say $150 is probably too high for a red squier affinity. I see those sell all day on craigslist for around $99.

yeah 150 for the affin strat is a bit steep, unless its been upgraded somehow(besides the knobs)
i bet you could sell the sunburst one, it looks interesting enough.
and the magnatone will def sell for 200 bucks,
wheather its on here or on the bay.

both are affinity strats

i modded the red one with tex-mex pickups and a different wiring scheme.
i only put new pup covers on the sunburst one, but i might get the neck glossed.

Do you have Craigslist in your town?

Craigslist is free and it a great way to get your asking price. If it doesn't sell, no harm done.
