Fenders have more trade value than a Korea/China Epiphone imho. Even if you don't need another Fender they are sure bets if you are looking to "trade up" or trade for another guitar. I try to get trades out of the way ASAP and offer to deliver the items because if you wait a couple days the person can lose interest, look up used prices and see your guitar selling cheaper that theirs, find another person to trade with because if they are mailing you they are probably offering it for trade to other people as well. Try to trade the person same day or next and move on. Never add cash to a trade. It's a TRADE.

I've also learned doing CL trades not to talk about what either of our guitars are worth. It's a trade and if we both leave happy then that's all that matters. Some people can use your item make money (gig with) or get greater use out of it than what they are trading and that's more important to them than the price difference of the item they are trading.

If someone wants you to add cash to a trade just walk away. They are not worth your time. Lots of people on CL are just looking for cash and to get rid of their stuff no one else wants. If it was not in your ad they should not expect it.

My CL thing is that if I feel that there is a $100 or less difference in our items on the used market it's something I can live with. A couple days down the line you will forget all about the slight loss and be happy with what you traded for when you are getting enjoyment out of it.
