Hi,
I have little experience selling things on line and need advice. :? Having collected a lot of instruments(violins, guitars, uke's, piano) I've run out of space (although I can't think of a nicer way to run out of space). I have two Larrivees, a parlor and a 00-50.
I'm thinking of selling one of them, and would like to do so in as pleasant and safe way as possible where both parties interests are considered, and both sides are pleased. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
This is the place if you're looking to sell one of the two Larrivees. Both are desirable models, and this forum is all about fairness and both sides feeling good about a sale.
To get an idea about price search through the for sale listings here for the models you have. You will find lots of history and get a good idea on what prices were suggested. Pricing is pretty consistent here. Take the nicest photos you can to post with the listing. List everything you can about the guitars; the good, the not so good, the dings. Honesty rules! :thumb
Good luck. I'll be looking for the 00-50!

hi Greg,
Thanks for your reply. It's good to hear that this is a good place to do business. I'd rather keep the guitars than cause either myself, or anyone else any grief. Life is a bit too short for that.
I'll follow your good advice. I have the 00-50 serial number, but don't recall exactly when I bought it. I did order it through a larrivee dealer and the sealed box was opened in my presence at the store. I bought the parlor on ebay from a seller in Canada. It was a great transaction.
Thanks,
Bill
I've had wonderful luck on ebay, since 2008.
Hundreds of transactions, including lovely guitars.
Met some great people, always positive transactions, and it's a fair marketplace, because you can ask anything, check the history of the seller, and your purchase price is protected.
just my two cents..... :cheers
I can't add much to the good advice already given. But I have sold quite a few guitars on this forum and bought or traded here as well.
So I would add "be patient" if you want the highest value for your guitar. If you want a quick sale reduce the price. Just ask if you need help, many here will chime in. As has been said good pictures help a lot.
The OO-50 should gain a lot of interest.
