Hey guys and Gals,
Where are good sites to list guitars for sale.(other than Ebay)
Is there anything equivalent to our beloved Cafe'?
Hope I didnt break any rules about asking this question,
If I did please forgive me.

Heck, I hope I dont break any by answering it!
If you have something to sell - that fits one of the brands or models listed in that previous post... go there and sell it. Ie, Taylor, Tacoma, Ovation, Martin, Telecaster, Stratocaster all have fan sites. I'm sure there's a Les Paul fan site. I know there's an Ovation solidbody fan site, a Hamer site, etc etc. All rules of protecting both parties in the sale apply. I have been to the Telecaster site, and its a pretty mature bunch (for the most part), ditto the Tacoma and Ovation sites. Can't vouch for the others.
I think MandolinCafe exists as it does because of the relatively small "niche" that mandolin family of instruments, and musicians fall into. For every 10,000 Strat or Les Paul or Telecaster players, there's probably enough mandolin players to count on the appendages God gave you. Hence, this place seems to work across the board, while guitars, by the sheer popularity, seem to do better when more individualized fan associations are made online.
I'm just saying this as a general newbie myself... if anyone cares to elaborate or correct me... please do!
