04 Jan 22 - 06:52 PM (#4131026) Subject: RE: Instrument sale From: Helen Hi Roger, It's easy to become a member. Go to the Membership link at the top of the page just under the Mudcat banner. There are lots of interesting people here whose common interest is music, mostly of the folk and blues variety but other types of music discussion also arise. Some of us have been here for a couple of decades or more and still going strong. Helen |

06 Jan 22 - 06:52 PM (#4131312) Subject: RE: Instrument sale From: Tattie Bogle But you may do better on a site that is more specific to your instrument, e.g. mandolin.net or concertina.net - or there are Facebook groups for buying/selling instruments within limited geographical areas. This site is global, so if you do advertise here, do at least indicate which country you are in. |

09 Nov 22 - 10:25 PM (#4157214) Subject: RE: Instrument sale From: Stilly River Sage Post links to the sites where you have them listed, if that's how you're doing it. If you're listing them to sell through Mudcat, you'll have to work out how to communicate. If members respond, you can send personal messages through the Mudcat site. Otherwise you'll have to post email, phone, etc. info. If you want that removed after the sale, let one of the moderators know and we can take out the contact information (leaving the sales info intact, as a source of information regarding instruments and current sales prices). |

But you aren't. So, post what you have for sale and we can talk about it. Joe Offer, Mudcat Music Editor |

11 Nov 22 - 03:23 PM (#4157368) Subject: RE: Instrument sale From: Joe Offer Hi, Gillymor - I tested the auction today, and it wasn't working. I've never been a big fan of the auction and would like it and the "record shop" and a few other features to disappear, but what do others think? Saulgoldie, if you'd like to sell something, start a new thread. I think it's less confusing if one person sells stuff in one thread. And yes, we've always let nonmembers offer musical items for sale, although they're far more trusted sellers if they are registered members. -Joe- |
