I have bought a ton of stuff from Reverb but never sold there. So I have a few guitars and some other things to sell all music related and have no knowledge of how to have success selling on Reverb. I have sold with success on Ebay and hoping Reverb is a better platform on which to sell. I have 2 Agiles I would like to offer better deals to the folks here but seems most just say that in the exchange and post a link to their Reverb store. So any advice, pitfalls to watch for and so on. Thanks guys.

I like using local consignment shops to avoid all shipping hassle scenarios, even at a 20% consignment fee, I avoid shipping BS experience.

I have sold a lot of guitars and gear on Reverb. Despite some negative press around here, I have had very good luck over the years with them. As a preferred seller, the total overall cost of selling is 7.5%. I still think it's the best option as a music gear specific online marketplace.
Don't forget the classifieds here though too - a fair number of guitars I've sold and purchased ( and traded ) were done via AGF.

Be mindful that certain states have different tax requirements on your sales
Be sure to document your dimensions really well, keep photographic evidence or have UPS physically measure for you. They are sneaky about charging for an "carrier audit of your package" without any evidence that the dimensions/weight were not as reported.
Pray you don't need actual support because the chat function is absolutely useless, and there is nobody home to take your calls anymore. Email sometimes is better, but sometimes it is just as useless. You are free to leave feedback via their website...
Be careful to make sure you are using something more than just the Agile box, if there is damage to the guitar, they will likely not cover it under the Reverb Protection using the same box that Rondo ships their guitars in. Carriers are more and more overworked and I've noticed a lot more damage to boxes I've received than in the past decade I've been buying/selling gear online.
Hopefully the $600 limit thing for a 1099K doesn't catch on like for Vermont or Massachusetts state income tax...
