I've decided to sell my new Martin OMC 15ME. After less than two hours playing it, I've come to the conclusion it just isn't right for me. Oh, it's got a great sound - the mahogany gives it a very warm tone - and it's a Martin, after all. It's just that I knew going in that it was described as a "strumming" guitar, and despite my handle here (the focus is more on the "old" than on the "strummer," btw) it just doesn't suit my style of play.
Typically, I hold on to guitars, but now with the prospect of packing up and leaving, maybe it's time to prune the herd. So, maybe I should learn the ins and outs of selling guitars online. I have a Reverb account with a five-star rating, but that's as a buyer. The cost to sell on Reveb is 3.5%. I have a PayPal account, and the cost to me would be $0.30+2.9%. Then there's shipping. There are calculators for that, but in the SWAG calculations I've made, I've used $50 for domestic shipping.
I have the original box, with the original packing material (straight from Martin), and the gig bag. I didn't receive an owner's manual, so there's that. But, since it's a guitar...
There is a UPS Store about a mile from me, so getting it out the door isn't a problem, either.
(Yes, I know there's a classified section here, and I might post it there after I get more comfortable with the process).
So... what advice, tips, warnings, and what-have-you do you who've done this before have for me?
