Two forum threads, one on a Telecaster board and one on a bass board, ask whether Bucket List Guitars is legit. Posters in both said they had sold to the shop and had no complaints. This list gathers what they checked and did, mostly from the seller's side, with a couple of buyer steps. It's forum experience, not a verdict on the shop. Check first, ship second. Your deal may not go the same way, so treat it as a starting point.
Why these items are on the list
- Look over the Reverb shop. One poster found it looked legit, but said it's hard to tell these days.
- Read what the shop says. Its own site says it specializes in effect pedals, rack equipment, guitars and keyboards.
- Ask on a gear forum. A Telecaster forum thread asking about buying and selling experience drew several replies.
- Start with a small test purchase. A tee-shirt or an easily resold pedal was the suggestion for a first buy.
- Try the online quote calculator. The shop's site says you can sell or trade instantly with its quote calculator.
- A local buyer was an option. One poster found a local buyer for some pedals and kept selling to the shop as an option.
- Decide: cash or store credit. One member took store credit for unused pedals, then bought a used pedalboard and a TR-2.
- Ask who pays shipping. That same member said the shop paid shipping both ways. Confirm it for your deal.
- Payment came from another person. One seller got paid by someone other than the person he dealt with. Posters guessed owner and employee.
- Find out if you can call. One seller thought the store exists only as a Reverb shop, so a phone call may not be possible.
- Ship to the verified PayPal address. A poster said sending to a PayPal verified address is what you're supposed to do.
- Move PayPal money out first. One poster's advice was to transfer the money out of your PayPal account, then ship the pedals.
- Collect past sellers' stories. One member sold four unused pedals and got almost $500. Others reported sales and purchases without trouble.
- Compare with Facebook Marketplace. One member called the shop much less hassle than selling locally on Facebook Marketplace.
- Watch for empty-account payments. The thread starter had been scammed when a Marketplace buyer paid from an empty account and vanished.
Tick each check as you go, and you'll know exactly where you stopped when a message or payment lands halfway through. It's easy to show a bandmate who's thinking of selling gear too.
When to use it
Use it before you send gear to, or buy from, an online music shop you haven't dealt with yet.
