Lozz196 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 (edited) Well I`ve been on Basschat since May, and in that time I`ve: Bought 1 bass, 1 amp, 1 pickup, and instrument/speaker leads And sold 3 basses, 1 amp & spkr, 1 wireless kit, 3 pickups, 2 foot pedals, 2 sets of straplocks and a few sets of strings. So it seems to be working, at least for me. Edited November 18, 2010 by Lozz196 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IS THERE REALLY ANY POINT IN HAVING A FOR SALE SECTION?????? CHEERS GEORGE[/quote] You have just lowered your chances of anyone buying anything from you mate. I wouldn't now.

GremlinAndy Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Be patient dude. Times are hard at the moment. Not everyone has cash lying around, plus there's a possibility that if something isn't selling, it may be that the potential buyers are not considering it to be enough of a bargain. (ie over priced.) within the last 6 months I have bought from basschat the following, ...an Epifany 3x10, an Eden 2x10 and a really nice high-end Shuker 6 string. There's probably more going on, on basschat than you're aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceguyhomer Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 There's only one reason why something won't sell - the price is too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Spelling the make of your bass correctly would help people who are searching for one - it's "S[b]c[/b]hecter", not "Shecter". Also acting like an ignorant berk on the forum and using caps lock (really annoying) is a sure fire way to make people wary of dealing with you. But yeah, good luck with the sale!

spinynorman Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I have exactly the opposite complaint from the OP, the for sale section is far too effective and over the last 6 months or so seduced me into buying 3 basses I don't really need, a Big Muff I'll use for one song, if it's in the set, a feedback destroyer, a combo and a cab. And tonight someone from Basschat came to my house and walked off with one of my basses and left me a load of useless money, which I'll probably waste on booze. I would complain in capitals but I can't find the capsLOCK ... OH, NO WAIT .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewart Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 geofio: I HAVE NEVER HEARD A SINGLE BASS I LIKED WITH THOSE EMG HZ PICKUPS, UNLIKE THE MANY I'VE HEARD WITH EMG PICKUPS (NO HZ) - BUT MAYBE YOURS WOULD BE THE ODD ONE OUT... I MIGHT BE AN INTERESTED PUNTER WANTING TO KNOW A BIT MORE ABOUT THE THING THOUGH (HOW MUCH WAS IT NEW PERHAPS, WHAT IS THE WIDTH AT THE NUT?, WHAT STRINGS ARE ON IT? (OR IS 'NEW'THE MAKE?), HOW WOULD YOU COMPARE IT TO OTHER BASSES YOU'VE HAD? WHAT DOES IT WEIGH? - IT COULDN'T HZ EVERYONE ELSE: You shouldn't be harrassing this new member, he may well be from another environment where using lower case is threatening behaviour, and following any advice given by those who use such 'dark magic' would obviously be a foolish course of action to take!

molan Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 So, in the last seven days I've : Sold 1 x amp, 5 pedals, 1 x bass Bought 1 x amp & 1 x guitar In a slightly 'roundabout' way I've also sold another bass on a reference from here Net money in about £3,400 Net money out about £1,600 That's £5,000 worth of transactions - seems to suggest that this is indeed a pretty good place to buy and sell bass related items to enthusiasts N.B. I should add that the £1,800 worth of 'profit' on these transactions was eaten up in the previous week (and then some!), lol. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gust0o Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Don't do it, Ped. You're the closest we have to a welfare state for bassists. Also: poor Tim. Also also: the economy is gash, so people are window shopping. If you're desperate for immediate cash then try Cash Converters. This is better than EBay and free to boot.
