Best way to sell a guitar

It's kind of like selling a car with Carmax as opposed to selling to an individual. Selling your guitar to a store like Guitar Center will be easier, quicker but you'll most likely get much less and it all depends on condition of course.

Buddy of mine went to NOLA Guitar Center recently to sell a guitar and amp, he was offered roughly between 1/3 and a 1/4 of what he paid and the equipment was basically mint.

Just for reference I'd go see what a place like Guitar Center would give you for it and maybe contact LINK to see if he'd be interested. Trogley buys and resells a lot of Gibson's.

Good luck.

Facebook Marketplace seems to be the best bet lately to maximize yield. To deter flakes, freaks and funny business, plan to meet prospective buyers in a police station parking lot with a "safe zone" designated just for this purpose. Baton Rouge PD for example has a video-recorded transaction area in the northeast parking lot of their headquarters building.

Since 335s aren't cheap and a big chunk of money will change hands, you may want to tell prospective buyers you wish to be paid via a cash app. If the buyer insists on paying with cash, pack a counterfeit bill detection pen.

Don't forget to bring a portable battery powered amp and a cable for a test-drive, and it never hurts to bring a friend as a witness.

Off the top of my head:
* Guitar shops/brokers will offer you approximately half of what they think they can re-sell it for.
* Consignment shops will charge you anywhere between 10 and 25 percent to sell it for you.
* Reverb charges you five percent commission and a payment processing fee that is percentage based. Both are deducted from your earnings when you sell.

You can reverse the order of last two if the idea of packing up and shipping a guitar scares you, but IMO still better money to be had on Reverb even w fees

Thanks for the feedback. Listed it on Reverb and only doing local pickup right now. Have purchased that way on Reverb, and luckily the Houston area is big enough that I've gotten hits on other things I've sold. Will extend to shipping if it doesn't sell that way. Not that I need the money right now, so willing to try this way. All my concerns were more over the headache of dealing with people as I've had issues selling other things online.
