Ebay is the biggest, most likely platform to sell a guitar, but I have been unable to get a clear answer from Ebay about my situation. I find it difficult to get even unclear answers from them :-)
Here's what I want to do;
Trade my nice Ovation classical and some cash for an Ovation steel string with a wide, finger style neck.
I know Ebay wants a cut from transactions (this is reasonable) but do they allow "trades, plus cash" ? I cant get a yes or no from them on this, and would appreciate someone's experience with this type of deal.
Thanks in advance for your time |

Go with great pictures, honest description and set your reserve where you won't be disappointed!
Start a 7 day auction at $.99 and let the interest of people be the final say.

You might want to list it on the SELL/TRADE here to see if there is any interest in a trade. |

My classical is as follows;
1- almost new condition (tho it probably needs a new set of strings)
2- model # 1863 (it is -I think - a so-called shallow bowl, or maybe mid depth , but definitely not a regular deep bowl)
3- serial # 567867
4- includes a new black molded case
5- it has OP-40 electronics
It hasnt been played much, and I am most interested in exchanging it and some cash for a steel string (wide neck) guitar. But apparently, the best approach is to advertise it, so I am going to put it up on this site, as soon as I send this note. If that doesnt work, then Ebay. |
