About

People over profit.

FuzzSwap is a marketplace for used guitar gear, run by a musician who sells it.

Who I am

I'm Austin Pilarski, a musician in Minnesota, and I founded FuzzSwap. I run a used and modified gear store out of my basement, and I've sold on Reverb.com since 2017. That's over $70,000 in sales.

Why I built this

In 2017, Reverb's CEO emailed me. He said he was excited about what I was doing and wanted to help. That energy is gone in today's investor-driven marketplaces. I wanted it back, so I built it.

What FuzzSwap believes

  • People over profit.
  • A middleman should be an interface, not a gatekeeper.
  • Fees that go down as you sell, instead of up. They run 5% to 1%. See the fees.
  • Built lean with modern tech, so the fees can stay low.
  • The numbers still have to make sense. I'll be open about them.
