What's the longest you've gone without looking at the classifieds?
It's been the last 10 days for me. I've never gone that long before. Perhaps I'm actually satisfied with what I have??? Is that even possible???

I'm DONE looking for another guitar! If my current stable won't satisfy me, nothing will!

The only time that I look at guitars prices is when I'm looking for others.
I am very happy with my current collection. Not saying that it will never change but for now I am very happy with what I have.

I don't think I've checked the classifieds, looked at Craigslist, or been in a pawn shop since I bought my D-18 in 2017.

I personally almost never look at the classifieds - if I'm in the market for something, I will have a look to see if there is a used one available. And if I'm planning to sell, I will also have a look to get a good idea of where I should set the sales price. As I'm entering my 3rd year into this hobby, I've only owned mostly lower tier Yamahas, Taylors, one Ibanez, one Washburn, and now Martins (my D-28 MD is the by far the highest tier guitar I've ever owned) - quite truthfully I often have to go several pages deep before I find any of the brands listed (Martin is an exception). I will say in my few looks at the classifieds that many of you have amazingly impressive collections - I'll reiterate what another poster mentioned in another thread about having classifieds for lower priced guitars and another for the more premium stuff.

I usually check the classifieds 2x a day. I'm looking to add another acoustic to the herd and am pretty sure that one day it will appear. I also like looking at the photos.

Honestly in the 9 years I've been here, I think maybe I've gone 2 days without checking, and that was only because I was swamped with work and blocked everything else out.
Otherwise I'm good for at least 5 checks per day. I like to keep tabs on what's selling and for how much, and I remember most everything too.

Classifieds? Want Ads?
Last time I checked the classifieds was when I read an actual brick bones News Paper, which was probably 20 years ago.

I've never looked.
I only buy and sell on Craigslist because it's in person, local, no shipping, cash. Simple, reliable, and clean. I feel in-person transactions are less risky and more in my control - we don't meet till the other passes one of my probing phone interrogations ... Oh, I mean conversations.  I read so many horror stories (including right here on AGF) of, scams, counterfeit cashiers checks, guitars lost, damaged or stolen in shipping - unethical sellers or buyers - returns - refund arguments - disputes with UPS/FedEx/USPS. No thanks. Last edited by Tico; 09-22-2020 at 12:20 AM.

Since re taking up the guitar & the finding this forum I'd check the classifieds daily to learn about what is available out there & what to expect for pricing. Great education & in those 5 or 6 years I've bought three more guitars (& a couple of mandos). Right now though, since getting on a year long build wait list, I haven't looked since early June. Can't think about more than one a year & don't have anything I want to part with. I just don't want to have one of those moments. Looking forward to perusing again next year.
