Default Selling guitars on eBay?
Anyone done this before? I am just wondering about how you would post it. I'm guessing you would get a courier but does anybody have any idea of prices/companies to use?

Cheers

All depends on the weight. Have a look around at other people's auctions and see what they charge. most shops seem to go for £15-£20 p&p for guitar and case sent by courier firm - think I was £20 when I bought my Rickenbacker from Peter Cook's.

If the person buying isn't in a hurry Royal Mail standard parcel service is pretty reasonable and will get to most places in the UK within 3-5 day. I blagged an empty cardboard guitar box from Prosound to put the guitar and case in and it cost me something like £10 to send it.

I bought a bass from ebay once, but the seller chose not to post it at all. I guess its easier that way, if you are okay with being an arsehole. A complete and utter arsehole. Otherwise, courier.

around £15-£20 is the 'going rate' it seems.

phone up citylink and get a quote (everything i've been sent that used them arrived next day in perfect condition)

what guitar are you selling, just out of curiosity?

Its a Epiphone Beast kinda looks like an Explorer. If you go to the equipment forum then go down a few pages you will find pictures.

www.parcelforce.com are as good as any. £15 - £20 sheets should cover it. They collect as well. I send all my stuff that way.
