Selling Tips


Selling Guitars

Step 1. Create a User profile
This contains your exclusive User name and Password that puts you in control of submitting, updating and removing your advertisement(s). Your User profile also contains details necessary for buyers to contact you - such as an email address.     
 
Step 2. Create your advertisement.
Select the appropriate product category, manufacturer and model from the lists on the ad page then enter the location of the item using the list of regions. These help organise advertisements in our database and assist buyers in running efficient searches. If you have recent pictures of the item you can add both a 'thumbnail' and a 'main picture'.  Enter a brief description of your item in the text area remembering to add details such as colour, types of pickup and condition. Finally enter your asking price and submit your ad. Most advertisements will be available on-line within 24 hours.               
 
GuitarMart, the sMart way to buy and sell gear. 



Rule 1
Before you compose your advertisement put yourself in the place of someone looking to buy a guitar - ask yourself  'What information would I want if I was going to buy this guitar?'

Rule 2
Are there any special features that make your guitar a better buy, or just simply more attractive to a buyer? Have you upgraded the pick-ups , or does it have a unique finish for example?

Rule 3
Be realistic. Research the price you are asking for it. Do similar models appear around the same price? If you are asking for an above average price, explain why?

Rule 4
Expain exactly what you are including in the price. For example, if the guitar has a hard case, is that included in the price or are you asking extra for it?

Rule 5
Take a good photograph of your guitar. A picture says a thousand words and a good photo can actually sell the guitar a lot easier than the description. Always save as a jpeg file, not a gif

Rule 6
Make sure you have all the contact details you need from the person buying and that you sort out payment prior to parting with your precious merchandise. Perhaps open a PayPal, or WorldPay account and get payment by credit, or debit card. There will be a transaction fee, so allow for it in the price you are asking , or make it clear that the buyer has to pay this and any delivery as extra.
