Even professional musicians sometimes have to part with musical instruments. The question of what to do with the clarinet or grandmother's piano inherited from grandfather also arises for those who have never studied music. Tools are best sold. This can be done in several ways.
It is necessary
- - computer with Internet access;
- - social media account.
Instructions
Step 1
Many major cities have shops selling old musical instruments. Each reputable retail outlet already has its own website or at least a page. To find it, you just need to type in the name of the city and the keywords "used musical instruments" and "purchase" in a search engine. If such a store exists, you will receive a link to the site. There you will find the store's address, phone number and terms of the deal.
Step 2
If the tool is small, you can simply take it to the store. In some stores, the former owner is paid immediately, in others a receipt is issued. You will receive the money when you find a buyer. If you need to sell a piano or drum kit, be sure to inquire about the collection terms. The store almost always pays for transportation, but it happens that the seller or the buyer does it.
Step 3
Local and some regional newspapers accept advertisements for the sale of musical instruments. You will find the conditions for publishing such announcements in the publication itself. As a rule, these are paid ads, but such a publication is not considered an advertisement, therefore it is inexpensive. Write a short text. Indicate which instrument you sell, company, year of manufacture, serial number (if any), estimated price, whether bargaining is possible, and also your phone number.
Step 4
There are many websites on the Internet with databases on the sale and purchase of used musical instruments. You need to register on them, but the form is quite simple and not much different from registering on any forum. Some sites provide a special form for advertisements for sale, you just have to fill in the necessary boxes. By the way, it makes sense to look at the "buy" section on such a site. It is possible that someone is looking for just such a tool that you would like to sell. Maybe a potential buyer lives in your city, then the process will be much easier. But even if the person who wants to buy your violin or guitar lives several thousand kilometers away from you, you can send him the instrument with the help of a courier service company or by mail. As a rule, prepayment is provided for such transactions. The buyer pays for transport services.
Step 5
Social networks provide great opportunities for the sale, purchase or exchange of musical instruments. For example, on VKontakte there are several communities of guitarists, where there is a very intensive purchase and sale of acoustic and electric guitars. In LiveJournal you can find communities of academic music lovers, where violins, flutes and other orchestral instruments are regularly bought and sold.
Step 6
Used musical instruments are eagerly bought by music schools, clubs and studios. Call the director. If you agree on the price, then this will be the most convenient option for you. In this case, you definitely won't have to think about transportation.
