Made an offer on a used bass today at an out of state GC store. The web sales guy said the store was still open but no one answered the phone. Made an offer of 75% of listed price by email and still waiting on reply...

It's just Facebook info, but I've read the inventory from closed locations isn't showing online.

Made an offer of 75% of listed price by email and still waiting on reply... After reaching the store manager in IL we found out their used department (?) wouldn't be working for another 2 weeks (est) so no prices could be reduced and no used gear would ship. Kudos to the manager for answering my 15 yo son's call and explaining the situation to him. We ended up calling 800 sales# and getting 15% off of a new Sire Marcus Miller M2 5-string bass with free shipping ($422 OTD). Sales staff were great, even when processing all 5 GC gift cards lol. Great reviews and a nice looking bass. He has worn the frets down on his Washburn 4 string in just 2 years to needing a refret so it was time..  |

The entire wall of guitars they have hanging in all of their local stores should be sold as used because people come into the store and play them, but they insist they are new guitars lol.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Everything on the lower two racks always looks like crap with chips and missing knobs at the one's around here. Not because they're demo'd, because they've been constantly finger banged by little fucktards all day long, 95% of which will never buy anything there. They have to get control of their stores. If they insist on entertaining kids they need to have a couple of squire's and Epi's as floor demos and only hand out anything else to adults or accompanied minors. I tried to go actually buy an amp there about a year ago and couldn't get to the amp i wanted to look at due to the little kids playing on them for shits and giggles.

Same here. And yet they still want full price for those guitars. I buy from Sweetwater instead usually. |

Yeah, I looked online and their used category is getting thinned out. They normally have at least two pages of Marshall 1960 cabs, last night they has 3 cabs total. I knew people were panic buying food, shit paper, guns and ammo, but I never thought is see panic buying of guitars & amps, lol.

I ordered a limited edition Marshall amp from them, they sent me a beat to hell used floor demo model. I had to raise all kinds of hell to get a new one sent to my local store to swap it out with. |

Lots of people trying to get rid of guitars and gear. But guitar center is closed - they’re going to craigslist and reverb to sell them. First, at outrageous prices. Give it a month and prices will bottom out as more and more people become unemployed and need money. |

I can't play a guitar. Hell, I own a 5-string Hartke bass (that I think is actually serial number 3) and I can't play that.
But if I had money lying around, I'd really like a Vai 2KDNA guitar. |

Bass arrived today via UPS... looks more like $700-800 worth of bass. That's one teenager at the house whose father won't have to put up with his angsty bullcrap for a few days! I threw in a little to get him across the finish line on it. Good kid, had cardiac catheter ablation earlier this year, makes good grades and is only a minor PITA compared to his oldest sister

I bought a brand new SG standard from them, it had buckle rash on it. They let me take the buckle rash one until the one they ordered for me showed up. |
