I kind of like that Reverb.com is all music and related gear along with no listing fees and only 3.5% commission when you sell.

I'm sure that eBay gets you more eyes on your auctions, but kinda hard to not like Reverb.

Oops!
I thought you meant reverb.
Like reverb on an amp.
I thought it was a goofy comparison but done in the name of fun.
Hang on a sec.
Gonna change my vote.

Poop! Can't change it. Sorry Mike. I skewed your results.

Neither, because I'm not a fan of auctions - they have only one metric for selecting the buyer, and that's price. Sometimes I want what I sell to go to a good home. I may sell something really cheap to someone who needs the item more than other buyers, but with a no-resale clause. And sometimes when I buy, I'd want to request or offer extra services. Like pick-up instead of shipping, if nearby.
And there are people I just don't want to deal with.

Money might be the most important factor for many. I prefer when it isn't.

I got 50% knocked off a small Boss digital recorder -
$50 shipped - not bad as the seller was asking $100.

I sell under "The Butcher's Closet" on Reverb.... I love it. The biggest problem is how few people look and purchase on Reverb, but it really is a fabulous site and layout.

I try not to part anything out. The Mustang neck is actually from a separate purchase.

Had never heard of Reverb.com before. Looks like eBay has a better selection, but Reverb looks like it has some choice nuggets in it.

Thanks Mike!
