may be planning to do a bit of a gear shifting, I don't have a lot of gear but some of it is nice stuff. I could sell via ebay etc, but cos I live 1 mile from the middle of nowhere it would be tricky for folks to come a try, I figure that people may take a punt on buying unseen something in the region of £100, but not closer to a grand (in one guitars case), so I was wondering about selling via a shop on commission, but dont know how this works. There are 2 big shops down here, Mansons and Project Music, both in Exeter, but do all shops sell on commission? How much do they charge? etc?

Edit: Yes, plus VAT
If you'd accept 1000 for your guitar and a shop sells is for 1250 and keeps the 250 then it is win/win. Come up with a figure your happy with and give them a call
I've sold one thing on commission at a local indy and is was 25%. The shop sold it for way more than I could get second hand and I came out quids in.
if that's the case then all well and good. This was why I was asking the question as I know nothing about how it works.

Why not try on here? People can vouch for your honesty .. not sure about your sanity though ... ;-)
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
I probably will put them on here 1st, and the strat would probably be OK, you know what you get with them, and easy to post in its hardcase. I may sell my larry as well, not sure I'd want to trust that to post and I'd imagine anyone would want to try it before buying it.

If the percentage quoted for Manson's is true, I interpret that as a euphemism for, "please, take your ------- guitar away from our ------- shop."
The 20% VAT which equates to 16.7% of the total selling price disaapears to the government.
The shop obviously wants and needs to make a reasonable amount of money - covering wages , rent , heat and ligt etc so maybe 20% is probably about right.
Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.

On the downside I kind of miss that bass ....
I sold a PRS through Mark @Guitars4you and got at least what I would have with a private sale - but with none of the hassle. Shops can take card payments - and sometimes p/exs - and will have a website which receives 1000s of hits from genuine buyers.
The more valuable the guitar, the more sense selling through a store makes to me.
