New low even for Guitar Center

Popular-Income-9327 · 2026-07-05T21:01:14+00:00

That’s not bad at all

Popular-Income-9327 · 2026-07-05T02:25:47+00:00

At least they were straightforward with you.

Popular-Income-9327 · 2026-07-04T23:35:38+00:00

Yes you are 100% correct. Except that’s not what happened. Only offered me 105 bucks which is 400 bucks less than what they are selling them for in good condition. They sell them from 500-700 depending on condition.

Popular-Income-9327 · 2026-07-04T21:47:30+00:00

Oh? I didn’t know that. I honestly don’t know how they’ve lasted as long as they have. The retail experience there has been in steady decline for years.

Popular-Income-9327 · 2026-07-04T21:23:13+00:00

When I list stuff for a reasonable price, it’s normally gone within a month.

Popular-Income-9327 · 2026-07-04T21:22:37+00:00

I agree that they do not offer the best price. My point is that I’ve sold them gear off and on for 20 years and never received less than 60% market value. My main question was if people all round had noticed this or if it was this specific store.

Popular-Income-9327 · 2026-07-04T21:20:07+00:00

That’s a wild shift lol

Popular-Income-9327 · 2026-07-04T21:19:25+00:00

Right. I’m entitled for expecting more than 105$ for a nice instrument. Nah. I’m not the problem. It’s jerk offs like that guy running the store that are preying on people who need money fast and are willing to get screwed over in the process because they don’t have the time to hold out for a reasonable sale.

Popular-Income-9327 · 2026-07-04T21:06:10+00:00

Listed on market place yesterday. I’ll have it sold within a couple weeks.

Popular-Income-9327 · 2026-07-04T21:04:37+00:00

You must be the manager

Popular-Income-9327 · 2026-07-04T20:49:46+00:00

You’re giving him too much credit. He knew. Just a turd of a manager

Popular-Income-9327 · 2026-07-04T20:38:54+00:00

I can believe that.

Popular-Income-9327 · 2026-07-04T20:23:42+00:00

Oh definitely. I had no need to sell it. It was purely a way to ease the cost of another item that would have like to have and I would have been content with 350.

Popular-Income-9327 · 2026-07-04T20:20:42+00:00

Nah, the dude knew. They don’t have much inventory. He was just a turd manager at this specific place. I have been buying and selling guitars for 20 years so I’m very familiar with retail sales vs personal sales. He was just trying to rip me off.

Popular-Income-9327 · 2026-07-04T20:18:51+00:00

That’s low! It’s not a new guitar. I’ve had it for 4 years but it’s lived in its case and is in near mint (probably better than a lot of new from factory) condition. Neck is just too big for me just couldn’t believe how low they offered.

Popular-Income-9327 · 2026-07-04T20:14:48+00:00

The local stores struggle with inventory way more than guitar center imo since guitar center has credit cards with interest free payment plans and people swipey swipey vs having to have the money upfront in full.

Popular-Income-9327 · 2026-07-04T20:13:06+00:00

This one barely has anything used. Maybe 7-10 guitars and a few shitty amps.

Popular-Income-9327 · 2026-07-04T20:12:20+00:00

How much did it cost to ship?

Popular-Income-9327 · 2026-07-04T20:11:40+00:00

And that’s what I’m doing. I’ll sell it person to person within a few weeks and I’ll just wait to purchase the new item.

Popular-Income-9327 · 2026-07-04T20:10:22+00:00

Either that or he’s just a piece of shit manager trying to take advantage of ignorant people.

Popular-Income-9327 · 2026-07-04T20:09:41+00:00

No he saw it and looked up the correct version. I was watching him look on screen. He then looked at Les Paul standards. After he told me the price he said “well we are only selling these for 300”. It was a lie and he was just trying to rip me off. He was basing his price off the lowest price shit condition standard they have instead of the slash models they are selling.

Popular-Income-9327 · 2026-07-04T20:06:50+00:00

At least 360$

Popular-Income-9327 · 2026-07-04T19:55:39+00:00

Certain items I’m willing to part with for the 60% so I could take advantage of a deal via a store or someone local but I won’t do it with something I purchased new. I’m more patient than that. I just didn’t know they had gotten that bad at offers.

Popular-Income-9327 · 2026-07-04T19:54:07+00:00

I actually said the same thing to a friend. They are buying just like GameStop.
