SELLING YOUR GEAR

In addition to a love of making music, musicians share a love of gear. With so many fun and exciting new toys at our disposal the choices are nearly endless. Unfortunately sometimes accumulating too much gear can be a problem, which is why we work hard to help you sell your unwanted or under utilized gear to make room for cool new stuff.

CONSIGNMENT

LET US DO ALL OF THE WORK

Our most popular option, selling on consignment simply means that you bring your product to our store and leave it with us to sell. When we will sell it for you at a mutually agreed upon price, we pay you a portion of the sale price.  Consignment items get displayed in our store and featured on our website, Facebook Fan page, Instagram and our Reverb.com page for maximum exposure. Our experienced staff can also assist you in determining the best selling price for your used equipment as well as recommend any necessary repairs to get your gear in perfect selling condition.

Consignment fees are as follows: Any item that sells for more than $1000 will have a consignment fee of 25% of the selling price, you get 75%. Any item that sells for between $500-$999 will have a consignment fee of 30%, you get 70% and any item that sells for under $500 will have a consignment fee of 40% or $50, whichever is greater. Lastly, if you are selling a high value item (in excess of $10,000) our maximum consignment fee is $2500 giving you the freedom to use our consignment service for your most valuable instruments without the consignment fee getting too high.

TRADE-INS

FASTEST WITH A TAX ADVANTAGE

Trading in your product is the fastest and most efficient way to get rid of your unwanted or under utilized gear. Trades are simple. Once you decide what new product you would like, simply bring in your trade-in product. Our staff will evaluate it and decide on a value for your trade which is then deducted from your new product purchase price. All you pay the difference. Fast and easy. While trade-in values are generally lower then what you might hope to sell your gear for privately or on consignment, trading in lowers your "pre-tax" price which in turn lowers the amount of sales tax that you pay. Often, this tax savings makes up for the lower value. Trading in is an option that should always be considered.
