No more playing authentic!

Could be good? More control and accounting over scams?

 

[NVicious]

More fees? Hope not...

The fees are already so bad that I have severely downsized my gear collection just to avoid selling again.

Reverb was pretty damn solid until Etsy bought them, so we'll see how this goes..

Hopefully this will turn out to be a good thing. Not gonna hold my breath, but I'll be cautiously optimistic.

I suspect that some things will be much better or a little better. Some things will be the same and other things will be a little or much worse. Overall I think people will continue, start or stop using it.

They need to fix the security concerns with needing my social, my drivers license, my name, address, credit card info, and everything else that shit hole of a company demanded be on file to use the site. The fees were just icing on the crap cake they created of Reverb. They also need to fix the shit return policies buyers have taken advantage of. Even if they fix all of that, the help center needs revamped. After all of that is accounted for I’ll consider making an account again. Otherwise I’ll sell local or eat the loss at guitar center that doesn’t ask for anything but my DL.

Technically, right now it could be Spring Reverb.

What would it take to become Super Reverb?

The article says they are looking at future enhancements such as dropping gear off locally without having to list or ship. I wonder if that means they take your gear, post it and ship it for you? That would mean they have brick and mortar in place in your city. I think that would be cool, kind of like consignment. I would unload a shit load of gear if they offered that.

I would expect they inspect your gear do there’s no arguing with buyers. That’s something I’d pay for.
