WHERE WE HUNT
MARKETPLACES · PRIVATE FORUMS · INDEPENDENT SHOPS · ONLINE RETAILERS
WE ARE
01
Every day we dig through listings in a dozen countries and filter out the noise — the overpriced, the fake, the 'make me an offer'.
02
Each guitar is checked against real sold prices, not wishful asking prices. You get a score, a valuation and the exact price we'd stop at.
03
Buy below market, play it hard, and if it's not the one, sell it on without taking a hit.
WHAT TO EXPECT
SCORE 9.2 · STRONG BUY
€600 worth €850–950
Private seller · Le Cannet, France
€250–350 under fair value.
Priced like this, it won't sit around.
OUR TAKE
Well below where comparable '70s Tributes are listed in Europe. At this price we'd buy — after checking serial, neck and electronics.
SCORE 8.6 · BUY
€650 worth €800–900
Private seller · Ratingen, Germany
€150–250 under fair value.
A USA Les Paul with room left to resell.
OUR TAKE
A very usable USA Les Paul under comparable Worn Brown listings, with a new hard case thrown in. Collection-only: inspect before paying.
SCORE 8.5 · BUY
€1,990 worth €2,200–2,400
Shop find · Barcelona, Spain
€310 less than the same guitar on Reverb.
Plus returns and a one-year warranty.
OUR TAKE
The same serial is mirrored on Reverb at €2,300. Here it's €1,990 with a 14-day return window and a one-year warranty.
SCORE 8.2 · BUY
€950 worth €1,100–1,250
Shop find · Oulu, Finland
€150–300 under fair value.
A USA Fender most buyers scroll past.
OUR TAKE
An unusual USA Fender that's easy to miss. Thinner resale market, so we'd buy below €1,000 landed and not chase it.
SCORE 7.8 · BUY
€850 worth €900–1,050
Private seller · Apeldoorn, Netherlands
Up to €200 under fair value.
Near-mint, receipt included.
OUR TAKE
Recent sales sit at €900–1,053 and this one is near-mint with receipt. A thinner cushion, but unusually clean data.

HOW WE JUDGE A DEAL
Cheap isn't the point. Every pick has to survive three numbers before it reaches your inbox.
Our conservative estimate of realistic used-market value — measured against the 90-day median, never the highest asking price.
How much room you have if you sell it on. Shown gross, so you always know what shipping and fees will eat.
The most we'd pay, all-in. Above it, we walk away — and so should you.
YAKA · CURATOR, SIX STRING STEALS
