If selling online an acoustic guitar packed in a fairly large box, how are you shipping it. For a large light weight box UPS seems to be going by a 'Dimensional Weight', which for me to ship from the East coast (US) to somewhere in the middle of the US is about $85 via Ground . More to the West coast. USPS is a bit less, but not by much. Difficult for a buyer or seller to absorb that kind of cost for a $400-500 guitar.
I've used Craigslist years ago, but not really wanting the type of people out there now coming to my house. |

I'm sticking with guitar, even when the little voice tries to convince me to take up viola again. Frankly, six strings and being able to play a song without accompaniment is so nice.

Totally agree. But it’s not really either-or. No reason to not do both. I hear you about accompaniment - I started out as a piano player, and the style of guitar playing I gravitate towards most strongly is very pianistic, e.g. Piedmont blues, whatever you’d call Mississippi John Hurt’s style, ... anything where you’re playing bass, some rhythm and melody at the same time. I did discover that an acoustic guitar is a lot easier to carry around than a piano...
