GC looking to make some changes. Woop dee doo. The guy certainly has banked some cash with his business ventures.

If you guys watched Phi McKnight, you'd see he's done several interviews with the GC CEO and the guy seems to have a plan to make GC a better place to shop (even if it is taking longer than he'd like).

Not holding my breath but... Reverb was awesome under that guys watch. The fees were totally reasonable, they had actual customer service people in the US who knew how to do their job, it wasn't overrun with scammers. Shame he sold it to PE/Etsy.
Imagine if this guy creates a new alternative to Reverb with the original fee structure, it would absolutely demolish Reverb and Sweetwaters shitty marketplaces since it has the reach right off the bat.

I am glad they are trying to make gc better. Reverb used to be the only thing I would use, then all the fees came and I jetted

I agree. Reverb WAS a great platform before he cashed it in to Etsy, (albeit for $275 million).
