I don't imagine it's gonna be too onerous dealing with that. Take me maybe 5 min at tax time.
Either way that's a future me problem.

Yeah, original Rocket "blowout" price was $3250 IIRC. I suppose with inflation (general, and Roscoe) I could've upped the price, but 1) buyer hooked me up with immediate purchase and favorable payment arrangement, and 2) TB is a community as much as a marketplace, or so I like to think, and would like to keep it that way. Don't need to profit, just recoup.
What goes around tends to come around.
Enjoy it Scott!

Thanks Daniel! I’m the same way. I can probably count on one hand the number of times I’ve sold gear for a proffit in the hundreds of basses I’ve bought and sold over the past nearly 40 years. I just generally try not to lose money but I’m rarely successful there either lol.
Making money is grand. Making music is better. I always consider a sale price for less than acquisition price to be equivalent to rent. And the more notes played on a bass before sale makes it more cost effective. The value indicator is "notes played per dollar spent." Making a profit? That usually dissipates over future purchases.
Great sentiment in my book
If you use PayPal, you’ll get a 1099 too. I don’t remember if it includes the fee free transactions (friends and family), but I was surprised by one this last year. Since I didn’t make any profit on my sales, it didn't affect my tax return. I don’t remember getting on from Zelle, fyi.
I’m no tax expert, but at least so far these new rules aren’t the end of the world. Until I get audited
I just sold a pedal on Reverb, and between the almost 8% fees and the sales tax the buyer paid (plus I was able to get a better shipping rate through my own UPS account), makes me like selling on TB even more

This might help some of you guys out. FYI, these aren't new rules, just changes in how they're enforced.
Solved: Received 1099-K from Reverb and PayPal, but sold only personal items at a loss. This link suggests no need to report: https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3995054 - thoughts?

Yah between shipping and reverb fees I probably should have held out on here. Or dropped the price a bit and sold to a TBer.
Oh well, live and learn. Again.
It does make me want to focus on what I have now though as buying and selling (well specifically shipping) basses has become unfeasible. At least for me.

If anyone has seen it, or anything to that effect, please PM me.
Thank you.
I’ve absolutely decided that the LG3005 is indeed “my” Roscoe. With that said I’ll probably be selling a few Roscoe’s in the near future. I’d really like to trade something for a Custom Shop Fender reissue. Those are stirring my interest. Never had one. :^o
A beautiful Roscoe 6’er. I hope it walks back to where it belongs.
Interesting stories about those two LG’s.
The Buckeye Burl was a special order by a bass store in Greensboro called “Perfect Bass” for their grand opening giveaway. It has a beautiful wedge neck. I got it in a trade from the giveaway winner.
The Koa was acquired from Atlanta Bass Gallery as a trade for a Roscoe 6’er, which looked similar to the LG 5. It was new and needed a good home. Almost coming full circle with this one, if you get my drift.

I can’t pinpoint exactly when, because I thought it was being safely stored in a spare room at my sister in law’s house, which is in a nice area.
Coming up with an exact time frame is going to be hard. But let’s say within the last two years.
