Guitar Center trade in value?
I've got a pedal that I acquired free, and because I'm not very interesting in using it, I might as well bag some money off of it to go towards guitar maintenance.
I know that putting on various online sites is an option, but I've got nothing to do today and I've got an itch to go to guitar center to grab a few things, and might as well get money in the process. So I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with trading in stuff to guitar center and if they got a decent amount for it, which I'm not even sure if they take used pedals. The pedal itself is a Boss AW-3 in very good condition. Any price is really okay, since it will always be profit. But if I'm getting close to nothing like Gamestop does for games, I'd rather take the time to put it up online.

You'll get nothing. They'll probably offer you a quarter or a third of what the pedal is worth.
Sell it online and have more money to play with.

Makes sense, I just had a hope that it would be different.

Every once in a while with the right item, you can get semi decent value on it if you're trading in towards something, but 95% of the time you get nothing. It helps to know people there, is what I'm saying. |

My local GC here gets the average of what they are selling for on eBay, and gives you 60% of that average. I think that's how most operate, but a lot of them try to lowball way under that percentage.

Most of the time, you'll get offered jack squat.
Unless you're in a hurry to sell, put it on ebay or craigslist. Might take a bit longer to get rid of it that way, but you'll be better off in the long run.

Yeah I asked about trading in my carbon copy. They said they could sell it for 80 or 90 so they would give me less than that. I don't remember how much. Probably 50 or so. I would sell it on ebay/ craigslist if I were you. That's what I did and I got 100 for my CC.
