Congrats on getting a new guitar Todd!
How does it sound? I think that flipping guitars can be a lot of fun. Especially if you don't grow too attached to one of them. Do you manage to break even and keep the resale value to amount you paid for those instruments? What I found is that music gear sells the easiest out of all things I've sold via local ads. Especially if its a known quality piece of gear. What is strange though is that I managed to sell two really low end instruments (one jazz bass and other strat - both cheap copies) for the similar price I got them for, after so many years of (ab)use. Stuff in the mid-range tends to sell the hardest. -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

Usually folks take the tension off the strings before shipping but this guy didn't and bam, cracked neck.

BAD NEWS!!!!! The seller did a CRAP job of packing the guitar, and it showed up with A CRACKED NECK!!!!!! Lame. It had an original WIZARD neck and now it's destroyed. I'm pretty much infuriated by the entire thing but whaddyagonna do. I"m gonna return it. I usually make money on guitars For Ebay I usually research them and buy near the lowest end of the trending price then sell near the high end of it. So I manage to make a bit off each guitar. Some guitars I make more off of. The BELLA LUGOSI LTD guitar I sold for $750 but only paid $500 at guitar center. It's easy to go backwards if you are not careful though So sorry to hear that I always wondered how does it work technically with ebay and when things like this happen? Do you just declare the item as damaged during shipping (did you find that out in front of the postman who delivered it?), do you open the item upon arrival for inspection or? I'm just wondering how post handles these issues as the guitar could have been sent damaged or damaged after it was delivered. Hope the seller doesn't make any issues about it. Were there photos of the non damaged guitar on the ebay listing (from that angle?). It is weird that it cracked like that, it must have been a huge drop or something. -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net
