Tips For A Successful Consignment


Maintain Guitar’s Condition

The better the condition of your guitar, the better the sell price. Make sure to keep your instruments clean, humidified and in good working order.

Document Provenance & History

Purchase receipts, manufacturer paperwork, photos of the original owner, interesting stories and accessories that go with the guitar can all add a significant amount to the sell price of your guitar.

Work With A Reputable Consignment Service

Use an established consignment service that you trust. Look for reviews and testimonials for the shop you are consigning with. Make sure their current listings look professional and effective.

Be Prepared For Negotiation

Remember that pricing can fluctuate and that values for instruments are not always cut and dry. You will have a better consignment experience if you are ready to negotiate within reason and work with potential buyers on price.

What Drives Top Dollar Sales For Vintage Guitars?

Getting top dollar for you guitar almost always means listing online. Buyers who pay top dollar expect very specific and informative listings, accurate descriptions of minute but important details, and professional photos. Customers of mine who used my consignment services ended up with more for their guitar than they could have gotten themselves. I have a network of serious guitar collectors, as well as the necessary experience to get top dollar for your vintage guitar. If you would like to consign your vintage instrument, please contact me!

Excellent photography goes a long way for the discriminating buyer. Anybody willing to pay top dollar for an instrument needs to know that it is being accurately represented with top notch photos. Additionally, stunning photos make an impression right away on potential buyers. We pride ourselves on taking photos that are both an accurate representation of what is being sold, and stunning artistic photographs that are eye-catching and compelling. As our photography has improved, we have noticed our sales numbers improve. We feel that we are currently taking the best photographs we ever have and that they stand shoulder to shoulder with anybody’s photos out there!

Reputation For Authentication

When buying vintage, the details are everything! To use an extreme example for the sake of illustrating this concept, there are vintage instruments out there that are worth $100,000+ if they are all original, but only around $13,000 if they are refinished! As you can reasonably conclude, any buyer of expensive vintage guitars is going to be on high alert for undisclosed issues or details that could affect the value of such instruments. Being a seller with a reputation for selling high-dollar instruments and authenticating them accurately is practically a requirement to get top dollar for high-end vintage instruments in today’s market. Joe’s Vintage Guitars has a decade-long track record for selling excellent instruments and is known for honest and accurate authentications of high-dollar vintage instruments.

Sales Knowledge & Infrastructure

Just like selling hamburgers is harder to do from your house than from a McDonald’s, selling a high-dollar guitar is easier from a guitar shop than from your undoubtedly lovely home. We say this not necessarily because of your physical location, but rather because of the sales infrastructure at your disposal. Joe’s Vintage Guitars not only has a popular online shop but is a top-rated seller on all of the major instrument sales platforms such as Reverb.com. Additionally, we are set up to accurately photograph, authenticate, describe, package, ship, and insure the instruments we consign! We also create top-notch videos demonstrating each top-tier vintage guitar consignment that comes into the shop. Oftentimes, the best way to sell a guitar is to put it in the hands of a talented player, and that’s exactly what we do!
