It seems to be time to thin out some of my musical equipment. I still have every bit of gear from when I started playing:)
I'd imagine most of it can be unloaded easy enough on Craigslist, but have a question.
What is the standard for selling gear like this? I can appreciate a potential buyer wanting to plug in amps for a test drive, but I don't want random people at my house. Meeting at the local parking lot for the exchange seems safer.
Any suggestions?

Crate Blue Voodoo halfstack (may hang on to that)
An old Sunn 60
Crate GFX halfstack
Chicago series Washburn guitar
VOX AD50 VT
Probably a Jackson Dinky
Gibson SG, etc:) Probably pedals as well
Just scaling back to a Strat and VOX setup with an external cab for now.
Just curious how people handle this on Craigslist. Rather not have them over here

that way they can try it on their own rig and you don't have to have them in your house.
Consider taking someone with you if the neighborhood is sketchy, or at least let someone know where you're going.

Trust is going to have to enter the deal at some point.

"This guy wants to come to my house and see all my music shit so he can come back and rip me off!"
Do you know someplace neutral you could meet? Music club maybe? Crack house?

if they agree to meet you at a crack house, then "aha!" you know they are up to no good!
