Is eBay a good place to sell guitar amps?
I plan to sell
- Mesa Boogie Road King II head (stock casing not custom)
- VOX AC30 C2XI’ve never sold anything on eBay and I’m still in 2 minds on selling them online… There is a guitar shop near me but his business is drying up so cannot afford to take them off me and due to work and family constraints I don’t have the time to travel around to different guitar shops etc to buy them off me.
Are people willing to spend about £2400 and £950 (that’s a good knocked down price if you’re not too sure) on an amp online, I personally wouldn’t buy one online due to I like to hear the sucker before I purchase it, but do you think others would?
Cheers, In a bit of a hurry hence the reason for the confusing question so apologies on that behalf…
Hello there,
Yes, eBay can be a great place to sell your gear. However, it can be a terrible place. It depends on how you write up the description and the quality of the photos you use. If you have a terrible description or say next to nothing about the gear, you may not get many bids. There are thousands of other amps listed. So you need to be clear and descriptive. Since the buyer cannot test the gear and look it over, you have to do that for him by your words, pictures and even sound clips.
I have seen gear bring top dollar there if it is in good shape and it very desirable gear. However, junk generally brings junk prices. I don’t consider Mesa or Vox to be junk, so do up the descriptions well and you should be all right.
Since you are not a pro, you may want to consider a reserve. Pros can afford to take a loss every now and then on their sales. Private parties usually cannot. The problem is that I think reserves tend to drive away bidders. I am an active bidder, but seldom bid on an auction with a reserve. I feel like I have no chance at getting a bargain. I suspect many others have that feeling. I am convinced that listing without a reserve usually draws more bidders, but you run the risk that few if anyone will bid. In that case, the item sells quite low.
