SELL, TRADE OR CONSIGNMENT
SELL YOUR INSTRUMENT THROUGH US
Looking to sell your instrument without the hassle of advertising, negotiating, and dealing with unknown buyers? We can take care of the entire sales process for you.
Thanks to our extensive international network of musicians, collectors, dealers, and enthusiasts, your instrument reaches a much wider and more targeted audience than through a private sale. In addition, many buyers feel more comfortable purchasing a valuable instrument through an established professional seller rather than directly from a private individual.
How Our Consignment Service Works
First, we start by discussing your instrument, its condition, history, and current market value. Based on our experience and comparable instruments on the market, our team advises you on a realistic and achievable selling price.
Next, we professionally present your instrument with a set of high-quality studio photographs and a detailed description.
Subsequently, B&B Guitars promotes your instrument through our own website and international sales network. Moreover, we feature it on selected specialist marketplaces such as Reverb, Vintage & Rare, eBay, Marktplaats, 2dehands, Le Bon Coin, and other relevant platforms.
Ultimately, we handle the entire process, including:
- Professional photography and presentation
- Market valuation and pricing advice
- Online advertising and international exposure
- Communication with potential buyers
- Negotiations and offers
- Payment arrangements
- Coordination of collection or worldwide shipping
Our objective is to achieve the best realistic market price and complete the sale within approximately three months.
Commission
We charge a 25% commission on the final selling price, but only after we successfully sell your instrument.
When a sale is completed through a third-party platform such as eBay or Reverb, any additional marketplace or transaction fees charged by that platform will also apply. We will always communicate these costs transparently.
Maximum Exposure. Minimum Hassle.
Selling a valuable instrument privately can be time-consuming. Specifically, it involves dealing with enquiries, negotiations, payments, shipping, and the risk of fraudulent buyers.
Therefore, with our consignment service, we take care of everything while presenting your instrument to a worldwide audience of serious buyers.
You provide the instrument. We take care of the sale.
