Sell Us Your Gear

For 25 years, Drummersuperstore has specialized in buying, selling, and trading used musical equipment. We offer a huge variety of new and used gear in our store and online. Our used gear undergoes thorough inspection, cleaning, and preparation, ensuring that it is in great working condition. We strive to provide the best customer experience, and we are the go-to place if you need to sell your item quickly. While it's challenging to determine the value of an item digitally, we prefer to assess it in person to provide a fair evaluation based on research.

Bring your music-related items to us, no appointment necessary.

Consign Your Gear

If you're not satisfied with the price we offer for your item, we also offer consignment services. We can sell your item at the price you desire. If your item doesn't sell, we will contact you to pick it up free of charge. When we sell your consigned item in-store, we deduct a 20% consignment fee from the selling price. Payment is made after the buyer confirms their satisfaction and does not return the item. If the item doesn't sell in-store, we may list it online, subject to a 30% consignment fee to cover online selling costs. Once the item sells online and the customer receives it without any issues, we will pay you. If a customer makes an offer for your item, we will consult you before accepting it. We value transparency and recommend realistic asking prices for consigned items.

Process of Buying Used Equipment

Bring It In: Bring your musical instruments, such as guitars, amps, drums, keyboards, MIDI equipment, mixers, pro sound equipment, and band instruments, to our store. We provide assistance with unloading if needed.
We Will Review & Research: Our experts will review and research each item to determine its fair market value based on recent sales. We consider sold items rather than current listings.
We'll Make an Offer: We will present you with an offer based on the fair market value or comparable sales. Our offer takes into account overhead costs and resale value. If you accept the offer, we can pay you immediately or offer a trade for items in our store.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I get the most when selling my gear?: Although we don't require items to be clean, complete, or perfect, presentation and perception are important factors. A cleaner and well-maintained item generally holds more value. We offer the best possible price based on supply, demand, and condition.
What do you buy?: We purchase all kinds of musical instruments and equipment, including drums, amps, speakers, recording and live sound gear, studio equipment, guitars, accessories, and more. Even non-working items have some value, as we use them for art projects or display purposes.
How will you value my instrument/equipment?: Our certified buyers undergo extensive training to accurately value musical instruments and equipment. Typically, we offer 40-60% of the fair market value, considering factors like supply, demand, condition, and other market variables.
What payment methods can I expect?: We offer on-the-spot payment after reaching an agreement. Cash is usually provided for amounts under $200, while amounts over $200 are paid with an official company check. Please bring a valid driver's license or government-issued identification card, as required by state laws.

Restrictions

Some items, such as harmonicas, microphones, earbuds, and headphones with previous owners' DNA, may be refused due to hygiene reasons. We appreciate your understanding.

Please note that paying customers take priority over individuals selling gear. We aim to provide a quick and satisfactory experience, but please allow some time for research and assistance. Upright pianos, grand pianos, and upright organs are currently not accepted due to their weight and maintenance requirements. We do accept digital pianos, keyboards, and synthesizers for review.

We strictly prohibit the sale or purchase of stolen or counterfeit items. Any suspicion or evidence of stolen items will be reported to the authorities, along with relevant information and footage.
