Topic: Hi there

This forum looked very friendly so i thought i might be cheeky and ask a favour or some advice.I live in Lincolnshire and my son has just moved to New Zealand. I would like to sell his Fender Pro Junior Hotrod 111 amp and a Squire Classic vibe telecaster.The amp is almost new and the telecaster which is in blonde is about 6 months old. I have thought about e bay ? or selling to a music shop,would you be kind enough to advise me . Regards.

Hi mate and welcome


I would give Ebay a go.....A music shop will kick you in the down belows because they will look to make a profit on the resale.....

Imagine if the words of Imagine ever came true.....

Re: Hi there

Thankyou my first thought was e bay would you put a reserve on or just let it run?

Re: Hi there

ebay is a buyer market ..so a lot of punters want something for nothing...so you could put a buy it now ..or offers
you would expect to get about half its new value if in good condition
you could put a sensible reserve on it alternatively
check out the new value before going on ebay so you know what to expect
best of luck

if your local dealer will offer you 40/50% that might be worth opting for
