The thing with buying/selling second hand is to be patient. If you wait long enough there's bound to be someone who actually wants your gear and is willing to match the price you want for it. I waited about 6 months before i found a strat that matched my price and the seller was very nice, similarly, i took months to sell off my gear at a price i wanted, but it was worth it as i got the price i expected and everyone was happy. If you want a fast deal, you'll get a crappy price, thats usually the way it goes, unless you are selling some collectors edition or something. So just be patient, and wait and see. But having said all that it also depends on your selling price as well. be prepared to lose some of your initial investment. all the best.
