Agree with OP, but this beats the fish scale for Just a little more money:

I usually get 8 or 10 pics up there. I always note in my ad that I don't check emails frequently so serious buyers can text me. Man has that weeded out nearly all the tire kickers. If someone emails that means they didn't read the ad and if they didn't read the ad I'm not inclined to deal with them because they have already demonstrated a complete lack of cognizance. I get a text and usually it's a legit question and I can close the deal quickly.

I don't care about the weight thing, I think that's up to the individual seller. If they care, they care, if they will accomadate you they will, if they wont, they wont. If they wanna make the sale, they can decide if thats up to them. I am a gigging player that's 40 and I don't give a shit, personally.
The cabinets is 1000% true. The companies doubled the prices for new ones, and used sellers doubled their prices as well, but the used buyers aren't buying at that price. It's insane and ridiculous.
I've seen UNLOADED bogner 4x12s for 800$ and UNLOADED 1960bs for 650$. Fuck right off at that price.

The only thing I will say as someone who has bought and sold for decades now, is that the people who ask very specific questions almost never buy. I was selling a Norlin era 81 Les paul custom, and yea I eventually added the weight after 2 days, but everyone who asked about the weight never actually bought before hand. I usually use a bathroom weight scale to weigh when someone ask no issue and dont mind. But usually most people dont buy it after doing it.

are you the guy that traded with Thug ??i sold an boat anchor last year, so i intentionally didn't list the weigh, but of course stated it, if asked.
But of course the people who asked about the weight did not buy it.

You should read your original post. That's stupidity at its finest. Getting sand in your vagina because somebody doesn't know the weight of a guitar they bought for themselves, (not for you), or suggesting they buy a $10 scale in case they run across douchebags like yourself is beyond stupid. How about you go buy the fucking scale and travel the countryside, in your quest for the grail. Maybe invite the Knights Of The Roundtable to join you.

My hemorrhoids flare up from sitting on my chair in my mom's basement where I play.

You comprehend the part where there is one party hoping to sell their instrument for top dollar, right?

Yup I forgot Bogner cabs. Never had one cause I'll never drop more than $500 on a 4x12 but every time I see one locally it's always $800 or more. Patience is def a virtue with cabs tho--I stumble upon good deals pretty regularly. Just gotta be quick and have cash

Of course, it is the seller's prerogative whether or not to relay the info--I just always deal local with instruments and for some it is impossible to get enough info to warrant the sometimes 2-3hr drive. More info--quicker sale.
If you don't mind me asking--how old are you and how long do you stand with your guitar on average per day? What instruments are your go to (heavy/light)? I'm 56 and my back feels it after an hour or so--and I can't play sitting down. What's your secret?

So I'm 40 and I play les Pauls, and yes, theyre generally heavy as hell. I play in a punk band that gigs at least once a week and rehearses twice a week, and a cover band that does about the same, so I play standing up 35-40 hours a week minimum counting that stuff and my home practice standing up.
Just so it's on the table, I had my C3 and C4 vertebra fused when I was 20, and went through physical therapy for 3-4 years.
My secret is really simple
1. everyone constantly slouches and has terrible posture - if you start standing up straight (legitimately) and get yourself in the habit of proper posture, it's going to strengthen your muscles for bearing weight when playing. People slouch when they're playing too, but the trick is stopping slouching period
2. CBD menthol roll on. I prefer the black Dragon Balm, but there's a bunch of different brands. I use it religiously, 4-5 times a week.

I'm scared to sell things on CL. It feels like going behind the Walmart. You attract some weird people.

Yeah I'm sure my posture doesn't help. But I'll try that CBD balm
I think my playing posture is called a "super slouch"

If you stick to higher dollar stuff you should be ok, I've never had an issue and I've been buying and selling stuff for decades. Met some cool people too
