spanky Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Hi folks - Just wondering if any of you have noticed a slowdown of used guitar sales the past two months? The ones I put on Reverb and local were moving ok until November but after Thanksgiving not so much. I could reduce prices, but even offers seem to have dried up. Bad time to be selling??...hard economic times, shipping concerns, people reducing rather than acquiring, focus on health and safety...etc..

I have never done well selling between Thanksgiving and New Years. I think most people have other things going and music equipment gets the back burner. Except if bought as a gift.

Drew816 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Yep, bad time of year to be selling regardless of Covid chaos. I used to be wait for tax refunds to start to show up to list, not sure how that might work out this year though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crunchee Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 It's difficult to compete against Playstations and X-Boxes and GI Joes with the Kung-Fu Grip at this time of year...plus the bills that go with them, regardless of the 'stimulus checks' : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomteriffic Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 I'm wagering it's the delayed government hush money. I know I had been at least daydreaming about what I'd get with it. and meanwhile a couple of consignment pieces are just hanging there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubs_42 Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 It happens every year, it is just a part of the cycle. We hit a post Christmas uptick, then you will see TAX Money, and now possibly the Stimulus Money. I have already said that since 2020 was a banter year for guitar sales, 2021/2022 should be a market flood of used guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
