Anyone uses Reverb?
I browse frequently, but never used it. It seems like it’s better than using eBay.

Browse it a lot. I really need that Gibson LG-2 that Chris Stapleton found for $300. Beat up as shite but good lord is that a sweet sounding guitar.

I've never bought anything, but I've sold probably over 50 things on there - guitars, amps, pedals, turntables etc. and have had a good experience almost every single time. Much cleaner and easier than Ebay's shady nonsense.

I use it, both the website and the iPhone app.
Haven't sold anything yet, but bought quite a few things. Great selection, and much better than eBay or Amazon since its focused solely on musical gear. No complaints.

. . . it's really nice for checking on prices and what exactly your looking at.
BTW: noticed (just today) they have a new LP/Album sectiion (or site)... Seemed good but didn't take hard look.

I buy, sell (my shop has a Reverb page, it's lean right now), browse, price out, gauge value via Reverb all the time, love it.

Yeah way way too much. Been looking at the new Strymon pedal. People are selling it used for more than it costs new.

I've sold stuff on there. I find myself downsizing my gear as I get older. I haven't bought anything yet.

I bought a guitar off of Reverb this past week. Normally, I don't buy anything online, but I have been looking for a nice Peavey T-15 for a good while, and came across a nice one on that site.
It showed up even better than I expected, only had to do some minor tweaking on it.

I like to use it. I like to add things to my watch list and really consider them if the price drops.
Every once in a while there’s a really good deal on there.
A guy I know stole an original 62 Tele for $1800.

I use it all the time. Between this and EBay there’s really no need to every buy new. There are deals on there all the time if you know what you want and keep looking daily.

I browse Reverb often never bought mainly because any deal I find on there has outrageous shipping which negates the savings and then some. How do you guys get people to pay 150 dollars shipping on a guitar? Can't do it.

I've never bought a guitar on reverb. I mostly buy pedals. If I dont like the pedal then I can usually sell it for little to no loss.
Posted on 5/26/19 at 11:30 pm to Easye921
never had a bad experience, bought pedals/guitars.
That's not where you go to screw someone over.

$150 is a stretch, but as a guy who has shipped probably a thousand guitars over the last 30+ years as a shop owner, a shop employee and as a general enthusiast, using UPS, USPS, FE, DHL ... proper shipping is not cheap.
The last guitar I shipped, a Squier P-bass, uncased and properly cocooned in generous bubble wrap; using a properly sized box (oversized) that was brand new (a reused dumpster dive box is free but it's also a guaranteed rejection should you have to file an insurance claim); and adequately insured (not for a fortune, it was a Squier) ... was $72 from a Baton Rouge zipcode to an Arizona zipcode. I have not shipped a guitar for less than $50 in a LONG, LONG time.
If you have issue with someone's asking price for shipping on Reverb, the seller's physical location (city) is always listed.
** Run a shipping calculator with your carrier of choice (cheapest is typically USPS, UPS and FedEx, in that order) from your zip to a zip in that city.
** Run an estimate on a package for 48 inches by 16 inches by 5 inches (average size of a properly packed guitar). List it at 30 pounds (average is about 25). Declare insurance accordingly and it will give you a quote.
** Message the seller with that adjusted shipping estimate and say you're willing to offer his asking price, estimated shipping from his zip to your zip, plus an extra $25 as an overage for calculation error, shipping materials and his handling. If he or she is a straight shooter and not trying to skim you via shipping, they will take it.

The shipping on the guitar that I just bought, was only 45 bucks. Shipped from Miami, Fl. to Clay County, Al., that's near Talladega.

Good information.
Browsing reverb by location is a big pain in the arse, any tip on that? It's like they intentionally make it difficult.
Basically, when something ships from Guitar Center for 20 bucks, they're (GC) taking the hit?

GC is not taking the hit, so to speak, it's just money off the profit margin. They're moving stuff and shipping stuff in volume. Keep in mind too that they surely have corporate accounts with all the major carriers that gets them percentage discounts based on their shipping volume, frequency, etc. I have a FedEx account for my shop that gets me a small discount on shipping, monthly billing versus pay at the counter, and I don't ship anything near the volume GC moves.
