How to sell an electric violin??

January 30, 2005 at 05:41 PM · Unfortunately, despite the good condition of your electric instrument, selling it as "used" will significantly impact your price. Unlike an acousitc instrument, where the sound can actually improve over time, electrics don't mature the same way. With an instrument that you paid $3,500 for, I wouldn't hope for too much more than $1,000 if you're lucky. With selling on the internet, your best chance is to go to eBay and hope someone drives up the bids. If I had the money, I would actually do that for you... but I don't. Sorry.

Hope you are well.

I read that you are selling a Ted Brewer 5-string. I actually own a couple of Zetas, so it's not for me... it's for a friend of mine in Houston, who's been wanting a Ted Brewer for a while.

What color is the Ted Brewer instrument?

Her name is Catherine - email is violin4u@yahoo.com. If it's still available, contact her or me, omar@omarlopezmusic.com.

Thanks! -Omar

Indoneisa is to ebay what Nigeria is to scam emails, at least as far as musical instruments go, which is all I pay attention to. I think a large majority of the potential buyers on ebay would avoid it. Lots of what would look like good deals get no bids, so people seem to be aware.
