But it’s not the main Reverb site itself, it’s some other offshoot thing that apparently nobody here even knew about, including myself. I’ve been using Reverb pretty much since it has existed, and I got no such email about whatever this is.
Next thing you know, we’ll be having RIP threads for people who aren’t even dead. Yet.
I didn’t really know what it was either. I watched a video from Trogly where he explained it. I guess they gave you a way to set up your own website through Reverb. When you did this, you could sell stuff on your own site, no sales tax. And apparently, therein lies the problem. I remember reading a couple of listings where the person said there would be no sales tax, and I thought that was a little fishy, but I guess that explains it.
Highly recommended
Absolutely, etsy killed Reverb and we all suffer for it. Never forget.
The early days were a freakin gold mine.
I’d prefer that, sure, but CL in my neck of the woods is shit. Mostly the same overpriced junk listed week after week. Nothing but trade offers and lowballers. We have a lunatic that currently has a bunch of stuff listed, each item multiple times. Sometimes the same item 3 or 4 times in a row. There have been times where nearly every current listing is this guy.
I can remember picking up a brand new (in the box with original tags) Senco pneumatic framing nailer for about $50, which new at the store (back then) was at least $400. My Dewalt 703 mitre saw was another ebay bargain (also NIB), running boards for the Explorer. Just a few of the many, many great deals I got when ebay was something other than just another retail outlet.
Shit I remember the competetor to ebay in the late 90's auction universe.com, then ebay bought them!
