There are a couple of rare guitars that I'm always on the lookout for.
I realize this is a rudimentary question but worthy of asking.
What are some good places online to find used guitars?
My usual go-to's are:
Reverb, eBay, G-Base, Guitar Center used store, and Music Go Round.
And less frequently: Craigslist, Facebook Classifieds
What else is out there?

I check Dave's and Wildwood's used sections from time to time, but I think they list on Reverb as well. Fun for browsing though because they have consistently nice photography.

I find the best deals on Craigslist and FB classifieds. I snagged a Tweedy SG for $1450, saw an Inca silver AVRI Jag for $1000, lost out on a Telecaster Plus for $800...

You think you can't, you wish you could, I know you can, I wish you would. Slip inside this house as you pass by.

Re: Where to find used guitars online besides eBay/Reverb?
weirdest story ever: google picture search (!!!). A search for a certain guitar (which once was for sale locally) came up with a picture of a different guitar (but same model). I don't even know why I clicked on the picture since it was not the one I was searching for but I followed the url of the picture host which led me to an auction announcement site of a European neighbor country (weird enough). The auction date was in the past but after double-checking the main auction site (no idea why I did that) it turned out the auction got postponed to a date that was only 1 week in the future. A couple ofphonecalls and nervous days later - with the help of a friend who went there - I was holding a mint vintage guitar in my hands.
Sounds like a Web 1.0 story from 10 or 20 years ago. Yes! But it happened 2 or 3 years ago
_____
What else: I know 1 or 2 people who told me they have found and bought used guitars basically via instagram.
