Points to think about:

Before deciding to sell your instrument to a music shop, first consider if it may be more profitable to sell direct through an online auction site or to another musician in your friends and family network.

Music retailers have a number of overheads and resale costs to consider when making you an offer for your instrument, which can sometimes be lower than you may have hoped for. We will always try our best to give you a Fair Deal for your unwanted instruments if they are something that we feel we can resell.

One of the benefits of selling to a music shop is that if your item is wanted by the store, the sale will usually happen quickly, and the money will be available in a relatively short period of time.

The better quality and condition of the instrument, the greater the offer generally will be. Being able to sell the item with its original box, manuals, power supply or case can all help to increase the value, and some items may only receive an offer if these items are available with your instrument.

Rare, vintage and unusual instruments will usually be more sought after by a music shop, and command much better prices.

Sell Your Instrument

If you’re looking to upgrade or exchange your musical equipment or want to free up space at home, then Fair Deal Music can help. We make it simple to sell your musical instrument for resale in our store or online. Musical instruments are always in demand and if you have an unused or old instrument at home that you’re looking to get rid of, then we can find it a new home. We make an offer for your instrument reflecting its condition and value which you’re free to accept or reject.

Selling directly to Fair Deal Music is easier than selling locally, be that online or by some other means. Unlike auction sites, we can guarantee you a price for your instrument and ensure that you receive it quickly. Whether you’re looking to free up space, upgrade an old instrument or would just like to free up some extra cash, Fair Deal Music give you a fair price.

Take the hassle out of selling your unwanted instrument

At Fair Deal Music, we take the hassle out of selling old, rarely used or unwanted instruments. If you have a guitar, piano, drums, violin, flute, trumpet, clarinet or another kind of instrument that you no longer want we will give you a realistic value. The better the condition of your instrument, the higher the price. We sell old instruments in our shop and online, giving your instrument a new home..

Once you have submitted details of your instrument we will get back to you with our valuation offer as quickly as possible. If you choose to accept our offer we will then send you a box within which to ship your instrument to us. Once we’ve received the instrument we will then pay you the agreed fee immediately by bank transfer. Alternatively, if you’re local to Birmingham or visiting the city, you can pop into our city centre store.

What factors influence the value of an instrument?

As a general rule, the older the instrument and the more use it has had, the lower the price is likely to be. This doesn’t apply if the instrument is rare or a collector’s item, in which case the value can rise. We understand musical instruments and the current marketplace, so we can provide an informed price for your instrument.

Why sell your musical instrument to a shop?

We’re passionate about music and musical instruments and making them available as widely as possible. Second-hand musical instruments are often a means for people to begin a lifelong love affair with an instrument. They make owning a musical instrument more affordable for a wider range of people. If you have an old musical instrument that you no longer use, then by selling it to Fair Deal Music you can make it available for someone else to enjoy.

Selling directly to Fair Deal Music is easier than selling locally, be that online or by some other means. Unlike auction sites, we can guarantee you a price for your instrument and ensure that you receive it quickly. Whether you’re looking to free up space, upgrade an old instrument or would just like to free up some extra cash, Fair Deal Music give you a fair price.
