I am moving out of my rehearsal studio after many years and realize that I have way too much gear , duplicate amps and guitars , reverb making things etc ....so I am determined to sell off some pieces . I see people asking 1K for fender reissue reverb tanks , 250 for Boss '63 Reverb pedals etc ...are they selling for that or are they asking way too much? I'm not very experienced at selling gear so wanted to see the reality of ask vs sell price . Top

You can check "Sold only" under all filters: https://reverb.com/marketplace?query=fender%20reissue%20reverb%20tank&show_only_sold=true Top

The problem with the online sites for selling gear is loads of people think they can get top dollar and list things for maximum retail price. My strategy on ebay is to price things around the going rate (in terms of actual selling prices) or a bit under, depending on condition of whatever I'm aiming to sell. I see a lot of stuff sit around on Reverb and ebay forever because they are asking too much. Top

They may vary wildly from asking prices. Here's something to bear in mind. The price it sold for is an indicator of what it's worth, The asking price is an indicator of the seller's greed! — http://thewaterboarders.bandcamp.com/ Top

It was very clean and in excellent condition. I did pay for tax and shipping, which pushed the price up another $100, but it was still well below the $1000 - 1200 other sellers were asking for similar units. — -John "...enjoy every sandwich." -Warren Zevon Fender Stratocaster American Pro II Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue Top
