Hey guys, i’m selling a 1993 Epiphone Firebird Guitar, Cardinal red, extremely great condition. Plays fantastically, great range of tone you can get out of it. Electronics are in excellent condition, so is everything else. Small chip on neck, but its barely noticeable at all (see picture). Its a really really nice guitar. Strap not included, and i’ll give the guitar a shine before i send it. Comes with hard shell case. I had the guitar priced at a guitar shop at around $525-$550 (the most it can be valued at about), because it was in such great condition, but i’m selling it for $500 USD.

I’m also selling a Digitech Whammy Pedal. Great condition also, never found a need to use it that much. Mainly just changes octaves, lots of options though. Jack White of the White Stripes uses the same pedal. This thing is really durable. Selling for $180, normally $250 retail, and i bought it for $200.

Shoot me a PM or post here if your interested. Cashiers check probably is preferred method of payment, but i might be flexible.

thanks,
-Graham

oh yeah, also. I’m willing to trade the guitar for a Bass guitar depending on the brand/model/condition.

bump. PM me for more details if you like.

i would SO be willing to trade for a fender precision bass, preferably sunburst with maple fingerboard.

6

You know people can get these new, with case, shipping and all other fees and whatever included for $450.

No strap, used, a case, I think $300-$350 would be a much better selling price for it.

thanks so much jerrick.

i bought this guitar for right aroudn 500, and i dont feel like loosing money.

idk, i’ll think it over.

8

Sometimes you don’t have a choice.
It always confuses me how people think they are going to not lose money when they try to sell something used.

9

You are aware that losing money is just a fact of life when selling something used, right?

10

i bought it used about like a year ago, i did no damage to it whatsoever.

whatev.

i’m gonna think about loweing the price.

11

Doesn’t matter how good of a condition you think it’s in. Buying something, whether you bought it new or used, lowers the value.

12

whatever.

if anyone wants to trade for a bass pm me.

13

Very true.

Even when something is bought, brand new from the store, still in the box, then gets sold again through ebay or craigslist, the value goes down.

And for me, im pretty picky, so as soon as somethings been used, even just by being touched once, im gonna go for half price or as close as I can get to it.

14

Might have been an idea to check with them before offering it for sale.

How ‘right around 500’?

And you’re not losing money.
You bought it for 500, got 150’s worth of use from it, sell it for 350.

Break even.

15

i’m not trying to sell it to make a few extra dollars, i actually need $500.

16

What you need and what you’re offering are two different things.

If I need $1000 but only have $500 worth of goods or services, I’m only entitled to $500.
If I have $500 worth of goods, but offer to deliver it, install it and train you on using it, I “may” be able to convince you that I’m adding $500’s worth of added-value to the transaction.

But to jack up the price, hoping to catch a buyer unaware, just because you ‘need’ $500? From each according to his need, to each according to his need?
There’s a name for that.

Caveat Emptor, yes.

But that doesn’t mean you can be a dique.

17

uhm, sorry to say but your wrong.

i never jacked the price up. I’m selling it for as much as i bought it for, which is under what its been priced at under my ownership not too long ago at a guitar shop.

Any ducttape, except on a roll, on a product is sure to significantly lower the value of the same.

Besides, you have to face the Law of Diminishing Returns…

19

whatev dude, if you buying a guitar you should know why theres ducttape on it.

20

If i were to be looking for this guitar and i had the two choices this used for 500 or a brand new one for 500, i would have to buy the new one. It would be in perfect condition and wouldnt have scratches or duct tape on it.

21

I’ve played the guitar for 15 years and have only had one electric, whats the ductape for?

-is it for the strap popping off? why not use straplocks and save the finish from the glue if thats the case (i’m only guessing here, I hardly ever play electric I was taught classical and have all acoustics)
