buying Low and selling high is how folks make money, on here there are a lot of people who have a lot of resentment towards dealers who have “corrupted” the 2 nd hand guitar market.
I Have no feelings either way personally, but also am fully aware that some trawl the internet looking for stock to sell on. Using multiple identities across various forums and selling sites is an MO for some for sure.
anyway It’s tough times for many and I would imagine the prices will continue to drop in the used market as sales dry up. Some react badly to others listing “their” old guitar for more.
personally speaking I Don’t think it’s anyone business what happens after they sell a guitar.
I dont really care about anyone's opinion on that process. I don't do any of that you mentioned above so nothing to comment on that process other than I wouldn't do that.
if you deal in pre-owned and vintage you need to buy from private sellers and need the price lower to make a margin. That's how it works. We don't have a supplier to call and ask for 30 pre-owned strats when we need then at X price.
I'm all for someone selling something and making money on it. I'd rather we all did that than losing each time..that doesn't help anyone. I'll be dammed if I'm losing money on every guitar I buy..that's why I don't buy guitars new.
Anyway..I'm off out to buy a guitar to sell on and make money so I get a free guitar/pedal next.
Enjoy guys..MON THE FLIPPERS! YOU ROCK..KEEP IT UP!
MUCH LOVE TO ALL MY FLIPPER BROTHERS!
Let's be honest..guys on here don't buy from shops anyway.
The fact you've said "another shop crossed off my list" backs that up to.
How's about you speak to shops, visit them or call them and get an experience of a shop rather than making assumptions on a forum which is totally against shops and dealers?
That might be a better way to view a shop than reading a comment and taking your own interpretation from a comment online with no tone or context around it.
i would also hazard a guess that most members are familiar with “the shop experience”
some shops are better than others though and some are so smart they try and avoid delivering shitty PR statements to potential customers on the internet.
just saying….
