Their like cliche' used car dealers only for music gear.
I need to see the details.
I expect they'll base the price on their current average minus some profit percentage. It seems like it'd be as if they just buy from us and then put it up for sale, hoping the value is going to go up. They might occasionally lose money too.
They have a lot of historical data for previous sales they can use, plus they probably are well connected to collectors and their ilk.I wonder who they have in house grading the gear they are going to buy, or have they developed some
kind of "broke-ass musician" algorithm that will do it for them??
Was thinking the same thing.This seems like an open admission that sellers on their site are frequently getting scammed. It looks like it's about the same trade-in value that GC will offer you though, so this would only make sense for somebody who doesn't live near a GC.

If I wanted to get screwed on my gear sale, I would just take it down to GC for their 'trade in value'.
Or might as well post on Facebook Marketplace and let the low ballers throw their 30% offer at you.
It's my favorite thing in the world.
My Post: 1975 Les Paul in mint condition, all original. Price is firm at 4k. Low ball offers will be ignored.
My Messenger starts blowing up with: "what's your lowest price?"....."I've got $1k cash TODAY"

LOL, no thanks.
