Great, informational video. Would be really cool to see the whole process of packing up a guitar using this system. I'm assuming the air bag can be re-used? What kind of candy did you get?
I may have to start using Sweetwater for when I’m wanting to sell beyond locally. I have had nothing but hassle using Reverb for maybe the last year or so, enough that while I am willing to buy off Reverb I will longer use them for selling. The automated system is utterly useless. Thanks for the video, great to see the options out there for trading gear.
I am here to rip Reverb (as well as many of its users)- because they deserve it. Reverb is NOT what it used to be. Bad customer service. They keep changing the format of how they categorize gear listings, their fees are too high. Additionally, as you mentioned in another video, there are a lot of "Shops" who are troll style low balling musicians hoping to take advantage of someone's unfortunate circumstance only to resell it for what you were trying to sell it for in the first place. If it is not shop owners low balling, it is just douche bags making offensive offers. I have literally had guys say something along the lines of " well, I can't afford what that gear usually costs" - so they want me to subsidize their hobby with the hard work I did to buy it in the first place and have me take an unreasonable hit so they can now "afford" the gear. Then you have the guys who ask 9 million questions (which is fine) but then buy it and try to return it because "the neck was not to my liking". Clueless A-holes who don't get that most of us are not retail stores but just musicians. Nobody should have to lose on a deal. There is no reason both parties can't win. If a piece of gear is listed at a fair price for its condition then I pay it. There is no reason for someone else to subsidize my hobby or passion for playing music.
@@picktheblueone yea there is definitely a lot of toxic people with reverb accounts like one guy for mad because I wouldn't sell it to him at the price he wanted and he was like my reverb store does more business than yours etc. I said good you can afford my price then and he started cussing left and right lol
@@TheDistortionPrinciple Exactly or the Retail shop owner who low balled me on my mint Tom Anderson and when I called him out on it he condemned me saying that with an attitude like mine my gear would sit idle on the site for months on end. It sold the very next day for asking price. I trolled him right back too!
Pro tip: You can get a guitar shipping kit for free just by ordering a new guitar.
@@tonekilltech that is always the preferred option
I dig both reverb for Those hard to find pedals gear and whatnot, Sweetwater for new gear plus they gave candy too 😎🎸🍬
I'm a fat boy. Candy is hard to resist lol
Great video Mark! We do not currently have any amp ship kits, but that may be coming down the line!
Amp ship kits could be a great addition. Thanks for the video idea!
At first I thought you were asking me about amp packaging and I was thinking, “how do I know?” LOL!!
Great video! Cheers! 😂
@@mistershabadoo lol too funny

Hell I can't remember now lol. Some root beer flavor I think and some other stuff
Thanks for reminding me about sweetwater. Just picked up a warm audio foxy tone box.
@@ToneNailer nice! Congrats

It's a great option especially if they sell what you're looking to buy. Zero fees and live support is worth it

Reverb's bot is terrible. It can't even solve the most simple issues.
@@JD-vj4go for real! I miss the phone call days when someone could actually call them
