withdrawn selling my guitar rig
What's Hot
hi,
im thinking of selling my old uitar rig. it includes:
1 dave murray style black 57 strat
1 elevation guitar, which i have upgraded the neck and ickups. note - i will inlcude the old neck and pickups upon purchase.
1 boss bcb pedalboard
2 boss dd3 delay
1 boss ch 1 chorus
1 boss rv6 reverb
1 boss ds 1 distortion
1 blackstar overdrive
1 blackstar distortion
1 roland microcube amp.
You buy these individually but if you want the whole rig im looking for arond £600. I'm willing to do a deal, but i do not want to go below £450. Either way you are a great bargain i think you'll agree. I need to get rid of this quickly because it's currently taking up a lot of space and i do not use this rig anymore.
Please let me know if you are either interested or not or you may know someone who is looking to either buy a complete rig for a real bargain or want's individual items.
thanks

Brother, you just low-balled yourself.
The line about needing to offload gear in a hurry may be true but exposes you to further pressure to reduce prices before any negotiations have begun. Bad move.
A list, no prices, no photographs. The board moderators will not like this. Neither will the membership. Few will bother to read most of your list.
It would be wise to break your surplus gear list down into the existing For Sale categories and then add cross-referencing hyperlinks between the threads. So, pedals in the FX £ area, amps in the Amps £ area, guitars in the Guitars £ area.
Give yourself a better chance of selling for fair prices. For example, Blackstar makes several overdrive and distortion pedals. Which exact models are you offering? The BOSS BCB case comes in two sizes, the three-slot -30 and the larger -60.
The upgraded guitar, if it was cheap to begin with, may be better sold as parts for the same reason - or put back to stock - the replacement neck may be worth as much to someone as they would want to pay for the whole thing, if they don't want the rest.
It's a real pain to sell a collection of stuff like this, I know - you will almost certainly end up with a remainder that's difficult to sell at all, but that may be better than ending up having to drop the price so far on the package deal that you lose more.
Good luck - this is meant as honest advice and not bashing you .

Some shops will sell the gear on commission, but again might not be keen on a lot of low-value items, or if they will take them the commission percentage may be higher. It's just tough for shops to make any money on second hand stuff these days unfortunately.
Your best bet for pricing is to look at completed Ebay sales for the same items - those will roughly reflect real-world selling prices. A shop will be able to ask for more when they sell it, but will still have to give you less.

I make that a £300 drop in three and a half hours. I'm worried.

blackstar lt distortion
blackstar lt overdrive
£300 is probably the right ball-park if you want to shift it.
It's important to state the brand and model of each item; eg. "a Dave Murray style black 57 Strat" could be a cheapie or something really good, but folks can't tell! and similarly an "Elevation guitar with an upgraded neck and pickups" is perhaps difficult to figure out.
Photos are really useful.
