So I've got a couple of guitars that have literally been collecting dust around my house as I haven't played them in about 2 years. They're in mint condition other than the dust.

I'm looking to sell them since I'm not getting any use out of them. Where do you think I could get the best value for them?

craigslist? (might get murdered)
Pawn shop?
Music store?
ebay?

ETA - Also thinking of getting rid of my keurig machine which never gets used. Thing doesn't make that good of coffee anyway IMO.

Craigslist is good.
Pawn Shop you will get bent over and insulted.
Music store is better than pawn shop but not much better.
Ebay is good but not as good as craigslist because of shipping.

Also try facebook groups like cajun swap shop.

Reminds me I actually got added to a local facebook group. I might throw it up on there just to see what happens.

Just seeing you are in Corpus so yeah like whatever the biggest local buy and sell facebook group. I have sold many things through that. Probably moreso than craigslist

I've never put anything for sale on one of them. I see people post things but it's always some cheap arse ghetto shite

You'll get lots of offers on Craigslist.


I sold my bass last summer. I bought it from a girl on Craigslist, played it for 5 years, and then sold it for more than I originally paid for it. Worked out well.

And an ESP Ltd electric guitar and amp.

Those are pretty low $ guitars - I would try craigslist first to avoid hassle of shipping. It's worth getting a little less money upfront to not have to deal with all that mess. Failing that, reverb.com, which takes less than half the commission of ebay. pawn shops will hose you. Whatever you do, first check out the reverb.com price guide, which is fairly accurate for common instruments.
