Anyone got any experience selling a neck?

[Thrillho_12]

Have been unable to shift the Vintera P Bass Neck I had listed on here so I was wondering if anyone had any advice for selling a neck? Either on the forum or elsewhere? Want this to go to a home and to also recoup a bit of the cost of replacing the neck.

 

I don't use social media so haven't looked on FB. Is gumtree a viable option?

 

Any help or insight anyone has is really appreciated. Apologies if this isn't the right place to post.

Hi mate, I've sold loads! A neck will sell quicker if it has tuners as it can be a real PITA for the buyer to find which particular set(s) which fits which particular Fender/Squier model (and as I found recently they can often be out of stock in the UK also). Also money is tight, while you list the full Fender RRP, similar roasted maple MIM necks can be bought new from Amazon for not a whole lot more than you're asking. I'm not saying your neck's not worth it by any means, just that you might need to lower the price a bit if you want it to sell quickly (and re selling it quickly, you did only list it two weeks ago, this is a slow time of year, folks saving their cash for the Xmas onslaught). Also, unless you defo need cash, you'll often do better looking for trades/PX here 👍

That's great advice! I'm very new still so didn't know if it would just get buried and never looked at ever again. So hard for me to know if I was doing something wrong or not :')

 

Very happy to be patient and maybe think about adding some tuners. 

 

Thanks for sharing your experience
