Anyone have experience selling musical instruments through Reverb ? Better/worse than eBay, and how ?

[eppur_se_muova]

An acquaintance of mine was selling a clarinet on Reberb a while back, but I haven't had the chance to ask him about it since. My own selling experience is limited to eBay, mostly selling leftover RAM and CPUs left over after upgrades. I've never sold a really expensive ( K$ ) item and I'm nervous about doing so. I have a number of items to sell and don't want to regret my choice of intermediary. And would definitely like to know of experiences with lost items and insurance claims -- what's the best way to safeguard against abuses and cons* ?









*Yeah, I know, decline any request to ship to Mar-a-Largo. Other than that, I mean.

1. Reverb has an excellent reputation for musical equipment

Many of their sellers are physical storefronts but individuals can sell items as well. I've bought from reverb before and it's always been very smooth. I don't have any experience selling on the site though, but I'd image it's much like eBay.

2. Only had one deal go south from Reverb.com

But that was the shipping company’s incompetence and I was fully reimbursed.

I have done A LOT of purchasing through Reverb.

Happy hunting!

3. I've not sold anything but have bought a half dozen items

I've never had a problem. About half were shipped and half were local and I either met up with the seller or picked the item up at a store.
