Craigslist is my #1 choice. Though I have had plenty of success with ebay, I am bothered by their taking a cut of the shipping fees, and with the rise in shipping charges and insurance cost, it's less money for me.
On the other hand, with CL, I screen responders (absolutely no texting or emails: phone only) and can ask slightly less since there are no fees, Paypal, etc. The buyer gets to try it on the spot and walks away a happy camper! |

Most "efficient" is ebay.
Put it up for a week with a low opening bid and it WILL sell in a week. You might not like the sale price, and you might not like the fees, but it will be gone. I'd rather sell here, but it can take a lot longer. And you have the frustration of never knowing when you will find an interested party. I have two guitars in the classifieds right now (been there about a week) at rather reasonable prices but no interest so far. I've done enough deals on Cragislist (cars, other stuff, not guitars) to use CL as a last resort. Craigslisters seem to be the biggest flakes in the universe.

You know? I have never sold a guitar that I truly cared about... I've given a few away, but nothing that was a keeper...
I would ALWAYS prefer a face-to-face transaction... make sure the buyer is happy, knows all the ins-and-out's of the instrument/pickup system... Barring that? I would guess I would come to this Forum first, probably co-inciding with having it on consignment at a local store (NEVER a long-distance consignment!)... Unless it was an "ultra-hot deal", I'd stay away from Craigslist completely... Ebay just gives me the jitters, and I don't know why... I bought ONE item from there, my '73 Fender Deluxe Reverb amp, and was VERY pleased with the whole transaction, but I don't know about selling a nice guitar there... I'm talking about "decent to very nice" acoustics here, nothing in the <$1k range...

Get Paid in cash, drop it off, and run. Include tail-light warranty, when the tail lights are out of sight so is the warranty.
OK not really but I had to say it...
