I don't have time for reverb and their 20% cut. I don't have time to pack shit. I don't have time to drive to the post office. I can't deal with buyers canceling or returning, or getting robbed, etc. I was like fuck this and just drove three boxes of pedals to sweetwater.

it took 2.5 hours. Got to have coffee and play a king fish tele deluxe through a mk vii. It was okay, then I plugged the kingfish into a crazy overpriced magnatone. It was killer. felt right at home, but not $3600 at home.

any way, I finally see the guys wrapping up......



Got $4,210 back!!! :rawk: :rawk: :rawk: :rawk:

Yeah I do the same thing here with Atomic Music.

If it's a big ticket item I will put it on Reverb and try to get close to my full price for it, but pedals and cheaper gear, I just take to Atomic Music and sell it to them. It's less money but I get a check or store credit right away and no hassle.

There's 48 listings I don't have to make.
48 customers who won't complain.
48 trips to the post office.
48 packing jobs.
300 reverb messages. :lol:
250 pictures I don't need to take.

feels good :rawk: :rawk:

Hopefully no SUF pedals?

I would have tried to buy them from you and asked zero questions… well other than ask if they’re for sale :D


But Feelsgoodman. The general population sucks :thu:

Sorry man. These got chopped:

Sonic generator
Tri dirty boost
La scatollo nero

Fwiw, I wouldn’t have sold them if they were up to snuff with your red army.

Let me know if you’re interested in a black russian, a pumkin pi, a classic triangle, or a special ram’s head. I might have an extra red menace too. (A special og 3 knob) I’ll see what i have if you really want something.

I sold all but one of my amps and most of my pedals to Guitar Center last year. Wait time was anywhere from 30 minutes to 7 hours.

Over the past year I posted two groups of about 7 to 10 pedals for sale on FB Marketplace and CL. Within two days I had an offer from a guy in California to buy them for wholesale'ish prices as a group. After some negotiating, it was much easier to sell and ship that way instead of $100 here and $75 bucks there until they were all gone. I have a few pedals now that were going to be posted locally but I don't feel like dealing with the BS for $100.

Nice!!

I stopped selling online ages ago but it seems like things in that arena are practically to the point these days that you aren't getting -that- much more than what shop will give you. and you get to avoid the hassle and dumbasses
