Reverb has been fantastic, I can't recommend it enough for sellers.

The fees are MUCH cheaper than eBay.

That's kind of what I was feeling but haven't actually sold anything there yet...

I definitely prefer Reverb over ebay. Many on another forum I frequent (The Gear Page) do too. Lower fees, better customer service. By musicians for musicians.

But let me echo Paul's surprise at 4002FL... is that a factory fretless 4002? All stock? That's quite a rare piece. I, too, was only aware of the one so far. lease share tons of pics here before you sell!!!!!!!!!

The RRF "Marketplace" is also an option, I've both bought and sold on this forum with complete satisfaction.

Since RRF moved to facebook, though, the traffic here is near zero.

It's another one. It's in the register it's an 82,
Walnut like Ginger's but definitely not hers.
I bought it from a dearler in PA in 2001. I was looking
For a 4005 at the time but found the 4002FL. So dreams
Of 4005 went out the window. Was a no brainer.
I'm not playing it much, want to pay off some debts.
And I'm thinking about building a 5 string semi-hollow
modeled on a 620 guitar ...

I just listed with Reverb and it was certainly painless and I even get a nice "Guitar Store" front. May put a couple more things up there. So far, so good.
