i really dont know how much to charge for the cbg's that people want to purchase.does anyone have a system or anything on a charge rate? some take days to build ,some fall together,some i love too much to sale,and some are so bad i just want to be rid of them. i have been just guessing and by the looks of what some sale for,i may be cutting myself way short.

Sam is right on again.
If I'm not there actually PLAYING the instruments so they can hear the gritty growls as I play , my CBG's just hang on the wall.
But I can draw a crowd by playing all those sounds they like but didnt KNOW they liked until they heard them.
Thats how I sell, by attempting to get them to fall in love with the sound they hear before they even see the instrument, THEN I do my thing and throw the picth out to the whole crowd hoping 1 or 2 will buy.
It IS hard work sometimes, but if your wanting to sell they gotta hear it.
Building the instrument and hanging it on a wall somewhere dont usually do it.They simply dont know what the instrument is and tend to think its a toy. So you have to change their mind.
