Etty Ket, selling stuff and help pricing
Hi, as a newbie I thought I'd ask about the etiquette around asking for help pricing and selling. One of the main reasons I joined here was to sell the equipment that my brother in law left after he died (mid 60s), for my sister in law, who needs the cash. It's not high end stuff, but I'd like to get a fair price for her whilst selling quickly. She knows absolutely nothing about music stuff, I don't know that much more, but I do play a little and I'm going back to learning (which is the other reason for joining here)
Without any history on the forum, I realise that rocking and selling stuff isn't exactly optimum, and asking for help setting prices may be a no-no?
When I come to list, I will obviously take as many photos and full descriptions, including any obvious faults etc. Should I put everything (Electric bass, amps, pedals, acoustics) into one thread, or separate into the categories? Any other advice welcome.

There are separate sub-boards for acoustics, pedals etc. so I'd suggest you start separate threads for your pedals and acoustics. But you've pretty much got it sussed with photos and full descriptions.
Folks will be happy to advise on pricing, I'm sure. I'd create some threads in the the main sections (Guitar, Amps, etc.), then advertise in the Classifieds sections (Guitars £ , Amps £) when you've worked out how much.
As for "when am I ready?" You'll never be ready. It works in reverse, you become ready by doing it. - pmbomb
