FAQ

 
How do we know what our instrument is worth?
We will help you determine the value of your instrument based on a current market analysis of your product. We will provide you with three values, the estimated value if you were looking to add the instrument to your insurance policy, the current market value range in which the item will most likely sell for, and our offer price which will include shipping reimbursement for your item.
 
How do you determine your purchase price?
We use current sales prices and recent sales estimates (comps) similar to what realators use in determining the estimated insurance value, and the current market value. Once we determine what the instrument could potentially sell for, we then determine the additional amount wrelatorsd to invest into the instrument to get it ready for sale, and make our offer to you based on the margin needed in order to maintin a good ROI. (return of investment)
 
How long does it take for me to get my payment?
 
Your payment will be processed once your item has been verified,  which is generally within 48 hours of receiving the instrument.
 
How do I get my instrument to you?

In some instances, we can pick up your instrument at a location you request, or we can arrange a drop off location where you can bring your instrument and they will pack it and ship it to us for you.
Depending on the size of the instrument, you can often find a box to use at your local grocery store for free, or you can purchase a box at a local office supply store or even moving/storage facility. Make sure the box is large enough to leave a few inches around the instrument for padding (crumpled balls of newspaper work well) and secure the instrument and any accessories inside the case as well using crumpled newspaper, bubble wrap, or foam peanuts. Use stong packing tape to secure the box closed, and drop it off at your local Post Office.
