This is why i DO NOT believe in consignments
Check this out . SUPER HOT TOPIC .
The story goes something like ..
A wants to sell X guitar at Y’s price
B posted X guitar at 2Y’s price, without paying A , and B managed to sell it .
A found out . Whole thing mess up.
Look , i am not saying who is wrong or who is right . But ,
I always put my money in , before i sell ‘em.
I rather my gears get stuck (which isn’t so bad , because i can play them)
than causing problems like this .
remember , if there is NO formal written agreement or business relationship ( like selling used guitars ) , always sell what belongs to you . Follow this rule and you will not get screwed . If you have no capital , then my advice is to live within your means and don’t play around with the market .
Last year , a very well known guitar shop that sells high end gears got closed down . Why ? because they cannot sell . Why they cannot sell ? Because they started the business by CONSIGNMENTS basics.By the time they realized their mistake , it was too late. Everybody wants to buy from the source , not the middleman . duh .
Is it worth it ? You think low risk high return eh ? the truth is , your risk is MUCH higher . Risk is not measured by MONEY ALONE .

Good move Clement, I still remember about you telling me about this story before during our last deal and it is sad to hear that the guitar shop has closed down ( I sent my guitar there to repair before).
I Hope that your firm can grow bigger and become a monopolist of guitar industry one day.
Anyway, hows business goin bro?
Regards.
