Origins and history:
The online musical website was founded in Lansing, Michigan on November, 2007 by entrepreneur, Steven J. Fata who is a lifelong guitarist and by computer programmer Joey Sheets. Steven Fata has owned various businesses in the mid-Michigan area. Mr. Fata has been a collector and seller of vintage musical instruments and started an online vintage guitar store called vintagecityguitars.com in 2003. Through this venture, he recognized the need for an online business to bring both buyers and sellers of ] of all kinds together in one place. This is how the ideas and thoughts of mygear.com began.
It is said that mygear.com is similar to other leading specialized online trading sites. For example, Stubhub is focused on tickets, while mygear.com specializes in musical instruments. Also, mygear.com functions as a place where people can find musical gear in their immediate geographical area, similar to craigslist with their local approach. The overall concept of mygear.com is comparable to autotrader.com in a number of ways, like its payment structure. This allows for musical instrument dealers to list and sell with direct links to their own website with no fears of circumvented fees. At the same time, mygear.com is able to maintain the individual to individual sales approach.
