Starting up as a part time dealer and making an honest introduction.

Looks like a good sideline to help support your F1 career.

When your turnover hits something like £60k you have to be VAT registered.

Good luck Lewis.

Top fella, top player, and as an irrelevant aside, was there the night I finally bagged a first date with the lady who went on to be Mrs Shugz. How's that for useless trivia?

Must be good for a discount eh? 

Buy cheap, sell big. Get in, get out, get home.

Cheers

Was that at the gig I played at the O2? Happy days!

Sure was, your playing and my chat didn't put her off. Amazing. 

Just jesting, great night and gig.

Best of luck on what is a hard road but you're a blues man - you'll be fine

Cheers

Bon chance with your venture and you're honesty and open-ness are much appreciated.

How to end up with a small fortune from dealing honestly in guitars...









... start with a large one.

Good luck Lewis and a fellow Yorkshire man to boot..

Congratulations on coming out of the closet, so to speak.
There was another thread discussing flippers and I got a few lols for suggesting I would prefer dealers to be up front about their plans.  In some cases you would be doing me a service by buying something quickly so I didn't miss out on something I was after.
I know of a couple of closet dealers on here that I would not sell to just because they must think that the rest of us can't work Google.  
Apart from anything else something part-time lets you try out a number of guitars.  Trying to go full-time would be tough these days unless you can manage to specialize in something niche. There is very little generalist middle ground left.

It will be interesting to see if any similar threads appear.

If you happen across another of those LPB 60's Original teles give me a shout.

Thanks @bacchanalian feels good to be out of the closet. Now I just have to tell my family 

Also, if I get another of those teles, it's staying. They are absolutely stunning guitars!

Good luck with the adventure man!

Good luck with the new venture! I'm terrible at getting rid of guitars but good at buying them

Frets on fretboards dont hang over the edge. Whoever re fretted that guitar you bought abd sold on, knows nothing about guitar construction. Stainless steel or not

What are you talking about?

fendermadlewis

Somebody able to fill me in on the joke? The frets didnt even slightly hang over edge and the new owner is extremely happy with it...

Can I question the wisdom of buying a guitar from the Fretboard Classifieds Lewis, then advertising it again straight away for a few hundred quid more back here whilst the original ad is still current for all to view? Its not like the seller is allowed to hide the original ad's price under Classifieds rules. 
Good luck

He should be okay, he is a yorkshireman and they can apparently peel an orange in their pocket as they say : )

Normally I'd be with you but he appears to have marked it up by a single pound, which I suspect might be more to make a round number than it is to make a massive profit.
