I am thinking seriously about selling one of my Collings and listing it here on the Forum first. How has selling here has worked out for others. Sounds like its recommended to use a 3rd party for the money transaction but who would that be?

Not sold here but have done successfully on other sites (Reverb, Gear Page etc). I rely on PayPal: Goods and Services (not Friends and Family) and that's worked well for both me and other party. Think the biggest challenge here is the relatively low level of traffic at the moment, so you may not get as many eyes on it as you'd like.

Thanks for the response. I have used Reverb quite a bit, but it ends up costing about 7% to sell. I was wondering about how many I would reach on this site. May just have to pay the higher sales commission.

There is a Facebook Collings sales page.
