[LucSulla]

So Reverb is going back private.

Maybe the new owners can repair the damage.

Reverb CEO David Mandelbrot said the company plans to roll out a new option for sellers “that allows you to get paid faster and drop off your gear locally, without needing to create a listing or ship.”

Any idea what that last bit could mean?

Some sort of brick-n-mortar arrangement that would receive goods and ship them for the seller? Private shipping via a hub system a-la Amazon? Lots of interesting possibilities for value-added services. I for one would pay good money if I could sell something cross-country and drop it with someone FOB Shipping Point and get handed a check. I might actually sell some gear (if I could remember where I put it). 🤔😂

Good! I kinda liked Reverb back before Etsy got their claws in them.

I'm expecting lots of uninvited strats, teles and jazzmasters finding their way into my feed.

Yeah, we should send them a bunch of emails.

Is this still available?

Do you accept trades?

How much does it weigh?

Can you do better with the price?

Could you describe the site's acoustic voice?

My girlfriend got my car impounded, so will you take some hash for it?

My guess is that they will partner with Guitar Center and use GC as the drop off location. Alternately, UPS stores.

FENDER BUYS REVERB!

Well OK, the company that owns most of Fender bought it.

Doors should be closing any day now.....

Well, it's going to be interesting to see how this sale will impact our experience on Reverb. I hope new owners will treat Reverb and Fender separately, and will make some positive changes at Reverb.
