Description
All sales are final. Store credit or refunds may be given at the discretion of The Ithaca Guitar Works only under the following circumstances: If you feel strongly (and can convince us) that the instrument is not as described on our website, you may return it to us at your own expense within 48 hours. It should be shipped by UPS Ground service, preferably in the same packaging in which it was received (unless the original packaging has been damaged and is no longer secure) and insured for the appropriate amount. Once we have received the instrument and made sure that it is still in the same condition as when we shipped it out, we will issue a store credit or refund (not including any shipping costs). After 48 hours refer to "The $50 Deductible Trade-In" below. Absolutely no returns on any electronic gear (amps, effects, etc.).
The $50 deductible trade-in: (the following applies to used instrument purchases from The Ithaca Guitar Works only): You may wish in the future to trade up to a nicer instrument. If your last instrument purchase from The Ithaca Guitar Works was already used when you bought it and has not been damaged by abuse or neglect and has not been modified or altered from the original condition we will allow you a trade-in value toward a more expensive instrument equal to the original purchase price (before taxes or other charges) minus $50. In this way we hope to accomplish two things: guarantee that your original investment was a sound one and allow you the biggest possible trade-in. ($50 can be much less than the cost of setting up that instrument for the next owner) The only requirements for this are: that it was already a second hand stringed instrument when it was purchased from us; that the instrument be in the same condition as when you purchased it from us and that you accompany your trade-in with your original receipt or the date when it was purchased so that we can verify that trade-in allowance.
What is my guitar worth? This is a question we hear everyday at The Ithaca Guitar Works. We are happy to give verbal appraisals and advice only if we can see and test the instrument in person. On the contrary it is impossible to quote even a "ball park" estimate of value without having the instrument in hand. Therefore please call to see if someone qualified to appraise your gear will be present when it is convenient for you to bring it in. We can also provide a written appraisal on our letterhead at the rate of $30 a page. This charge allows you to have up to several instruments appraised at the same rate. You must bring your instrument/s in for this service, though I have been known to make house calls on occasion. We also take trade-ins, provide consignment services and buy gear outright. Again, we must see and test each piece before making an offer. A bit of advice for those looking to sell their instrument. You have many options from which to chose, with diminishing returns for each. You may chose to keep your instrument which is always wisest. Or you might give it to a friend or relative for them to enjoy. Or donate it to a school or charity (I'm thinking tax deduction). To get the highest value for your gear you should choose to sell it on your own through any number of avenues. You also may choose to trade it in for something different in which case you should expect to get something approaching its resale value less any service it may need. If you choose to consign your instrument, expect to get 75% of the determined selling price. The least desirable choice for anyone wanting to part with an instrument is to sell it to a music store. Any music store. As a business we must cover our investment as well as any set up or restoration a guitar might need and then ultimately turn a profit. Having said this we are always interested in purchasing nice used equipment but more often than not we'll make offers that can be much lower than the value as our intention is to ultimately turn around and sell the item. Did I also say we need to check them out first?
