Listing Guide

Writing a Great Title

Your title is the first thing buyers see. Include the brand, model, and key details.

✓ Good: "Fender American Professional II Stratocaster — Sunburst"

✓ Good: "Selmer Paris Mark VI Alto Saxophone — 1967, Original Lacquer"

✗ Bad: "Guitar for sale"

✗ Bad: "AMAZING DEAL!!!! MUST SEE!!!!"

Good photos are the single biggest factor in selling your gear. Listings with multiple clear photos sell up to 3x faster.

✓ Use natural or bright lighting — avoid flash and shadows

✓ Show multiple angles: front, back, sides, headstock/bell/keys

✓ Photograph any wear, dents, scratches, or modifications

✓ Include photos of the case, accessories, and everything included

✓ Use a clean, uncluttered background

Be honest and thorough. Include:

• Brand, model, year (if known)

• Detailed condition description — be specific about any wear

• Modifications or repairs done

• What's included (case, mouthpiece, cables, accessories)

• Why you're selling (optional, but builds trust)

• Serial number (for high-value items)

✓ Check the Price Guide for recent sale prices of similar items

✓ Factor in condition — Mint commands a premium, Good requires a discount

✓ Remember: The Exchange takes 10% — price accordingly

✓ Enable "Accepts Offers" to attract more interest

Be honest with your grading. Misrepresenting condition leads to returns and negative reviews. See the full Condition Guide.
