If you're one of the 1% of maniacs who actually list when there's no offer on fees, then yes.

Or otherwise, between £1 and £3.

They just did a £2 offer last week. It seems not everyone gets them.

Would seem silly to sell it on ebay for £2500 and then be hit with say 12% fees £300, rather than put it back on here and letting forum members have it for £2200.

Perplexed but good luck with the sale.

I think there's a couple of us at least have commented on how slow things are to sell on here as of late. I mean even this guitar was listed midway through May and still here into July.

Don't get me wrong, it's preferable to see things sell through here but I can't exactly blame people chucking it on ebay either if the maths works for them.

I prefer to sell guitars on eBay than on here. You tend to get the same value or more for them even after fees and you don’t get pages of people commenting on your FS post

Hmmm Zimbabwe style inflation?

Zimbabwe style inflation is quite common on eBay mind you. Nature of the beast I guess with the fees involved. Price after sale will be the same if you’re one of the maniacs who doesn’t use the £1 final value fee.

Reverb fees are lower than eBay’s full fees. The Reverb seller’s fee for a £2.7k guitar would be about £208 I think.

Are people in North Wales having a mini-tanty all the time?

Reverb and Paypal fees come out about 8%. I have a guitar on a FVF offer on eBay now and it means that Reverb is only for advertising purposes as I would prefer it were bought from eBay.

I used to get the £1 and £2 offers all the time but of late only been getting 10% final value fees which sometimes works out better or worse than the previous offers.

I only list stuff when there's offers on unless it's gonna go for less than £20.

Shouldn't someone just close this thread now? It all seems kinda irrelevant but mildy amusing at the same time I suppose.

@peteri that's a very cool looking LP Custom....I'm sorely tempted, even though I every time I buy a LP it never works out

. Is it really heavy/do you know the weight? (PM me if you don't want to be doing with this thread any more).

So you post on this thread to complain someone has bought a guitar on the forum and listed it on ebay for a higher price.

Then when another poster points out you have done the exact same thing you resort to a childish personal insult which you are not bold enough to attribute to the post and person you are responding to.

Welcome back to the forum, chap. I heard you'd left in a tizzy because someone had outed you as a trader?

Anyway, just to clarify, you might want to look up the word 'inflation' in a dictionary. It's when the price of something goes up. The advert that Ben posted of mine was for a Tele of mine. I did initially list it for higher but then dropped it back to the price I paid. I sold it for £2,100, having bought it for £2,200. So as examples go, it wasn't the best.

If you want to see another example of hyper-inflation, how about this one:
