We regularly take gear to sell on consignment. This means we can sell your item in our store on your behalf. Upon sale of your item at an agreed price you receive of the final sale price minus our 20% consignment fee.
Selling an instrument through our store, particularly if it’s a collectible piece, ensures you are selling your item for the right price. Our staff are vintage and second hand instrument experts, with immense exposure buyers both domestically and internationally. An expert appraisal forms a part of our consignment process.
Unfortunately we can't take every instrument as space is limited, but we would love to see what you have and discuss options with you. Prior to bringing it in store, ensure you give your item a good clean and ensure strings are fresh to give it the best chance of selling! Instruments or gear that requires servicing will be subjected to a cleaning, servicing or re-stringing fee to be paid upfront should an item not meet our standards.
Terms & Conditions:
We ask for a minimum consignment term of six weeks whereby we offer your item for sale exclusively, this ensures we can invest time in professionally photographing and documenting the instrument.
All items left in our care on consignment are fully insured for theft, loss in fire and breakages (to the agreed payout sum - RRP less 20%).
Electronics, electronic components, amps, effects, keyboards, synths and the like: While our staff are trained in the handling of second hand and vintage items, and all due care is made to ensure the careful handling, demonstration and merchandising of such consignment goods, please note, due to the nature of vintage and second hand electronics, amplifiers, keyboards and the like; we do not take responsibility for faults which may arise in the items whilst in our possession.
If your item appears sold on the website but you have not received payment it may be on lay-by or in transit to an interstate or international buyer. Consignment sales are paid out after the finalisation of the sale which includes a 7-day cooling off period. Payouts are remitted via EFT and can take 2-3 business days to clear depending on the financial institution you bank with.
