Ibanez Stm-1** Guitar Shops??

    Hi, I am selling my Ibanez Stm-1 and need a sale by this Saturday as I have a holiday I have to have paid off. I've been in touch with a few shops etc... but none seem to buy guitars. Just wondering if there are any shops that do.?

    I am selling it well below what it is worth so I am confident that wherever I bring it I will get the price I am asking for, just need to find that place!

    It doesn't matter what part of Ireland, I'm willing to travel. But preferably in the midlands! Thanks!

    X-Music do second hand guitars but I'm not sure if they buy them outright or accept them as trades only.

    Throw it up on Adverts to try and get it moved quickly.

    Adverts.ie or donedeal would probably be your best bet,i've tried to deal with shops before but in reality they can take the piss in what they offer.

    How much are ya looking to get for it?

    Why all the trade in solutions? OP needs cashmoney!!

    I'd say adverts/gumtree/buyandsell are your options if you need money fast. If you're in Dublin there's also the liquidation shop in Tallaght village. They'll definitely take it, but will probably insult you with the price. If its a short term cash flow issue, and you'd like to hang on to the guitar, have you thought about pawning it?

    MusicMaker, Xmusic, Perfect Pitch and Guitarfix all do trade-ins/buy instruments.

    You'll get a terrible price for it though, about 60% of it's secondhand value more than likely.

    Thanks! Looking for around €400, which I feel should not be a problem as many of them on the internet are selling at €600-€700 second-hand. Very hard to find a shop that will buy these days. Usually all only trade ins.

    Thanks! Yep I have considered it and decided that I don't want to deal with pawn shops at all. As in Ireland I don't think there are any proper ones? (not near me anyway) apart from cash converters, cash encounters etc... who I wouldn't deal with. I was talking to a guy in Galway before who worked in a pawn shop, and offered me something like €250. I appreciate all offrs, but that was a joke. They have to make money someway and unfortunately it's by skanking everyone that walks in there door I feel. Do you know of any good pawn shops in Ireland? Privately owned?
