Best place to buy gear!
I’ve bought several things on reverb. Banjos and guitars. Have always had a good experience “knock on wood.”
Bad App Updates… UPDATED 3/7/26
ANOTHER UPDATE, ANOTHER REVIEW: You brainiacs must not like selling things through your iOS apps. Must not have a lot of users…. Newest uptake only loads 4-5 pages of a search and then won’t load anything else. Like nothing. Keep these great updates rolling. UPDATE AGAIN: PLEASE FIX YOUR FREAKING APP!!! SEARCHES DON’T WORK. CONSTANT REPEATING OF ITEMS. I’M ALMOST DONE AND WILL TAKE MY SPENDING ELSE WHERE. LOOK ME UP, I SPEND ON THIS FREAKING APP! FIX IT! MAKE IT WORL. UPDATE: Yep, once again they’re going out of their way to make shopping through the app truly painful. I just want to see the new listings, in order of most recent, in all the categories I want to shop. If you can’t do that, then what is your purpose? I’d take away the one star if I could. — If you plan on listing gear on this app, please be aware that they go out of their way to make it hard to sell your stuff. I shop the “new items” list. They have gone out of their way to make this impossible. It used to be easy to scroll through the new items, now you have to constantly hit a “load more items” button and after several pages it takes minutes to load. So, no looking at those items. Good luck selling!!!

Sellers Proceed With Caution!!
If you are a seller, please be careful. Hidden fees can come back to bite you. 1) Miscalculation of shipping fees is a major culprit. You can set shipping to be calculated automatically based on size and weight, and to be paid by the buyer. But, many times they will under calculate this before the sale, then after purchase, the actual shipping cost can be up to 45% more. Any overage has to be paid by the seller! This comes out of your profit!! 2) You can set a shipping fee ahead of time, then when it comes time to ship, Reverb will suggest a "safe shipping" selection which costs more. Along with that is often a "signature required" selection as well, which both cost more than what you've selected as your original shipping price. This is also, to be paid by the seller. Again this comes out of your profit..... So, please beware!!

Enables my addiction beautifully
Great place to explore pedals and gear. Very addicting.
They deserve to go out of business
I went back to eBay after 10 years on reverb.
The fees are theft. I would rather give the buyer a $150 discount instead of giving it to reverb. For what? It’s my item I’m selling to another buyer and reverb is the parasite sucking all the profit.
Then my account got suspended one full month after my last sale because I owed a fee for “incorrect measurements” so the shipping cost should’ve been more. I OVER measured and OVER weighed, as I always have done for online sales since 2000. UPS accepted my package and it got delivered. One full month after that delivery my account was suspended because they say I owed $3. After the hundreds of dollars in fees I have paid and the successful delivery.
