Negotiating with sellers
Reverb does not offer protection over transactions that involve the exchange of physical goods. We recommend that both parties submit offers to one another and transact through Reverb to ensure the purchases are protected. That way, Reverb can help facilitate any returns or refunds, if necessary.

If you'd like to communicate with the seller before submitting an offer, select the Message Seller button in the About the Seller section of the listing. The seller can even respond to your message with an offer included, which will appear in your Offers page.
Why can’t I conduct a gear-for-gear trade?
Reverb does not permit or support trades on our platform because we have no means of protecting a transaction that involves the exchange of physical goods. All payments made through our platform are fully protected, so in the event something is wrong with the item you receive, Reverb can help facilitate a resolution.
