...the amount of absolute tire kicking bullshit you deal with, selling on places like marketplace and Facebook groups is atrocious to a high degree. Soooo many messages.


From the most hilarious lowball shit, to trying to sell the lowball offers "Dude diezel just isn't as popular anymore nobody really wants them, I know a dude who just sold a herbert for like $1800" proceeds to send me a screenshot of a scammed post that was taken down as evidence of his "points" 😂

Then it's "I'll trade a gorilla amp + $300" 🤦🏻‍♂️ Type shit. Man. The nation is so fuckin broke right now it's not even funny. Selling used to be a treat honestly. Now it's apparently a whole ass nightmarish experience.


And sadly, why reverb and ebay continue to be successful I think. Even with their extravagant fees. It really does simplify the process and basically eliminates the spam and tire kicking bullllllshit. Seriously surprised, I didnt remember it being this bad. But then again, most my past sales were on the reverb platform so maybe it's always been this shitty outside of those platforms 🤷 not sure.


Within 24 hours or less it feels like I fully jumped into an abandoned flooded musty humid basement trying to sell a like new herbert. What the hell is going on out here? 😵‍💫

Edit: I'm just bitching before caving in and listing it on ebay and reverb. I hate their fees and don't believe in taxes. We are in a gear slump. No beuno.

Now you know what it's like to read my posts.
Agreed.
Kind of like your crying thesis essay of a signature that's full of salty tears 🥲🥲
"Ignore" is a handy feature though.
Helped me alot so far 😃 Try it out!


Dude NOTHING is selling

I'm just surprised at the amount of tire kicking and clown ass offers... it's wierd. They are trying to negotiate like it's a 93 Ford ranger with 230,000 miles on it. I just didn't know or realize it had gotten THAT bad in the amplifier realm.
 
Marketplace is horrible.


I'm discovering....

I have a couple legit offers... but not sure yet. Waiting on them. It's all the BS I was swamped with... guys want these amps for free on marketplace. I might hold onto it if one of the first legit seeming offers don't pull through.
 
That's some pretty light reading compared to the associated threads!

Can't argue that point.


Im assuming that's why Larry and other builders like Fortin don't post here anymore 🥲

I posted my old powerstroke on there…. Never again. Messages in Spanish or Thai…nut jobs from everywhere. Especially every redneck kid on the east coast. Fucking nightmare…
 
One day last winter I was selling a mid tier Guild archtop on CL. A guy messaged and asked if I was interested in trades. I like to make trades so I asked him what he had. He sent me a comprehensive list of the cheapest, crappiest box store gear you can get.:LOL:

Exactly this...
Haven't gotten the foreign ones yet.

Lots of dreamers and weird people though. 20+ messages of clueless n00bs. I expect that number to grow as we go into tonight and people get off work etc etc. I'm not prepared 😂
 
When my oldest son was a teenager him and his buddy messaged this girl about her grandfather’s truck that she was trying to sell. He had recently died. After a few texts back and forth about the truck my son’s buddy said “got any pics?” Couple minutes later the nasty bitch sent them a bunch of nude pics. Retard.
 
It is hoarding time...

Amp-Zord.... HOARD!!

She was trying to lock that deal in.
I applaud the commitment to customer service.
But maybe not the execution.... 💀
