Great for buyer, not so much for sellers – Reverb: Buy & Sell Music Gear Review

Great place to find instruments, even if some sellers think they have gold, while others buyer la won’t pay but dog turds for really good guitars and complain or write scathing lies, but like any public exchange, lots of scammers and rippers, but easy to filter out. As a seller you will have many people try to scam you and keep your gear after intentionally breaking it or complaining about condition. The do it just to steal( or attempt to), and I will say reverb favors buyer a little too much on such reports. Maybe it’s because they make money on the seller, so the system is biased against buyer pretty heavy. At the least, it feels that way. I always recommend item to be listed “as is, no warrantee” and insure it. Let the shipping company deal with breaks and scratches or made up scams. That way the receiving party can be held accountable for constant claims and intentional breaks for profit. Otherwise, if you like instruments and actually play (resellers who just collect and don’t play are the Bane of late stage capitalism and drive up prices for musicians) reverb will make your addiction absolutely the purest insatiable desire. If you start shopping on reverb, you will have so many instruments your wife and/or girlfriend(s) will leave, while on the other side your husband and boyfriends will be forever endeared.
