You're right about that! And some are SO descriptive too, like "Red Electric Guitar - $100". LOL

Well, if the MSRP is 700, the best offer ought to be in the region of 400 - 500.
 
Re: Craigslist BS: Gibson content

I got mine brand new in perfect condition out the door for $469. I sold it a few month later for $550, still in perfect condition. I'd imagine one that was not in perfect shape should go for half of what that guy is asking.
 
Re: Craigslist BS: Gibson content

Post a response to his ad with a link to an online shop that has a lower *new* price. That way other people can see he's full of it and don't get suckered.
 
Re: Craigslist BS: Gibson content

A guy I know had a cheap dean/cheap ibanez something (dont remember what) he was asking $400 for (they went for that new)
I told him he needed to ask about $150-$200 for it, he told me he MIGHT take $200-$250 for it, but he wouldnt list it for that because then he didnt have any room to haggle.
 
Re: Craigslist BS: Gibson content

He just knows that someone is going to offer him half of what ever price he posts. It's that simple really.

MSRP for a Faded SG is about $1150, but walk into any GC and the asking price is $700. Street price is $450 - $550, anecdotally speaking, for one in "like new" condition.

Whatta dooshbayg.

LOL

You know what's even worse? Now, I have someone who keeps emailing me to ask if the guitars are still available! I've told them twice that I'm not the one selling them and even sent them a link to the seller's post! MAN, CRAIGSLIST SHOPPERS IZ DUMB! Hahaha
 
Re: Craigslist BS: Gibson content

Don't feel bad - anyone who pays that much is dumb enough that they deserve to get ripped off.

If he manages to sell it for that much, more power to him.

Yeah, I'm starting to feel the same way. It's their problem if they can't look up the prices for themselves.
 
Re: Craigslist BS: Gibson content

But he needs a new engine for his car. I don't see what choice he has. It's not that he can make more guitars for selling appear out of thin air.
