Prices on Reverb have become a meme. Often people list items asking absurd prices hoping someone desperate will buy. They don't respond to reasonable offers (E.g. for what the item recently actually sold for) and listings are hanging for months if not years. Funny place.


A not-insignificant amount of those are people who didn't want to sell but have the conversation: "Sell that damn guitar that you haven't touched in 15 years." "See, honey, I tried, but its not selling."


Very true. But Reverb should give those people advice to seek therapy and marriage counselling. In my country - forcing someone to do that is straight domestic abuse and that would warrant involving police if partner was increasingly annoying about my guitar.


Maybe prices are high for something like a vintage guitar or synth but in my experience everything else is comparable to eBay or whatever.

I sold the vintage synth on Craigslist because it took too long on reverb. I’m glad I didn’t have to pay their fees, though.

Shoulda bought about 10 more Juno 60s back in 2005 :)
