Going to sell my guitar :(

Unread post by Thomas » Fri Sep 30, 2005 4:12 pm

i bought an epiphone les paul custom last year with the intention of buying an amp a month later to play it on but for some reason it never happened.

so here i am a year later with a guitar that i've only played a handful of times and i think it's time to sell it. it's pretty much been in its case the whole time so it's in the exact same condition that i bought it in and i paid $600.00 for it.

but my question is, how much should i expect to get for it?

A great "barometer" for finding market prices is eBay.
Just look at what other epi lps are selling for, and go off of that.

I would also look into putting it on commission at a music store in your area.

Since it is newer and lightly used, you can advertise it as such and get more for it. However, on ebay, *everything* :wink: is 'new and lightly used.'
