Brize's Big Blowout - Gibson Electrics (ALL SOLD)

Brize

All of the Gibson electrics are now sold - thanks to all for your interest and nice comments. I've deleted the pictures from Imgur so have tidied up the original post to remove broken image links.

One observation is that, if you're selling a load of gear, people tend to be less concerned that you're trying to offload a lemon. I've had good interest in most of the guitars I've listed for sale so we'll see what's left by the end of the week.

That's a good tip.  If I ever get round to having a clearout I'll try to do a lot at once and group by brand/type.  I can't match your pictures, though.  Or your guitars, come to think of it...

Nice one. Pity we can't look at the pics any more though...!

Out of interest, were they all sold through this forum or elsewhere? Thanks.

No, elsewhere and most went to one buyer.

I'm sure they'll reappear on a website near you soon But if anyone needs a lesson in how to sell guitars, @Brize just gave us a masterclass!

Ha! Thanks for your kind words.

Another observation: whatever the frustrations of eBay, nothing beats it in terms of exposure.

Agreed. Although be wary of suggesting cash in hand deals via messages on eBay - they gave me a warning for doing so. But there is nothing stopping you from giving a phone number for a friendly chat.....

Yep, already had the obligatory eBay warning after someone tried to message me with their phone number.

Or alternatively you can link to the fretboard in your eBay auction blurb... And you can post whatever you want here

There doesn't seem much point because they were bought as a job lot so the asking prices bear no relation to what was actually paid. Happy to do it, though.

Edit: Done

Now the prices are there next  can we go back in time to allow me to see this when you posted so I can buy the 345? Thank you kindly.
