Consign, Sell or Trade

Sometimes selling your guitar can be a real stress! 

From writing up descriptions and condition reports for your items, to packaging them and having to deal with couriers, to encountering issues, such as: lost/damaged items and dissatisfied customers. It can be a right pain in the rear. 

If you decide to sell your guitar to one of the many stores that purchase secondhand guitars you will typically find that the shop in question will offer you around 30-40% less than market value, due to operational overheads, VAT and profit margins.

Our guitar consignment service aims to take the stress away from selling your guitar.

Consignment can significantly benefit guitarists who do not enjoy the selling process. We manage the whole process from photographing your guitar and ensuring we capture your instrument in the best light possible, to advertising your item, dealing with potential buyers, packaging and organising delivery world wide. This service is particularly advantageous as it allows us to market your guitars directly to our extensive network of collectors and enthusiasts, often achieving a sale price well above what might be expected in a private sale, even after commission.

You may ask 'Why not just sell the guitar yourself?' ...

Depending on how you choose to sell there may be many factors that put you off selling.

• Time wasters - We have all been there waiting in for someone only for them to not show up! 
• Selling site fees i.e. Ebay, Reverb etc - You do all the work and they still take 13% on average.
• Scams - With so many marketplace scams running its difficult to know what is real!
• Packaging, shipment and insurance.
• Time - Sometimes having the time to do all of the above is difficult.

If you feel consignment is not for you and would prefer a direct sale, please contact us for a quotation.
