What you can expect from us:
When your instrument arrives with us , it will be inspected by an expert technician who will assess the overall condition of the instrument.
If required will be in touch to discuss the selling price. Customers trust us to supply quality items in good order and as a specialist supplier we typically realise you a higher price for your item than selling via auction sites such as eBay. We provides all items in good condition and with a warranty; all instruments will be serviced prior to sale, and If the instrument needs repairs or other attention we will do the work required as we see fit to best effect the successful sale of your item. You can choose to pay for any workshop charges in advance or ask us to deduct them from the final sale price of your item. ie you do not have to pay until after the sale.
Your instrument will be expertly photographed and have a good written description presented to give it the best chance of a sale. You will be able to find your listing on our website by searching for your Surname. We pay for advertising with Google, Facebook, pay per click links and other sources. – there is no charge to you for this.
After this point you will not receive any communication from us regarding your instrument until a sale has been completed or offer has been made that we would like to discuss with you.
Buyers have 30 days statutory right of return or ‘cooling off period‘ after their purchase. We will notify you of the sale after this time and payment will be made to you by bank transfer or PayPal as you prefer typically at the end of the month following the cooling off period. Any workshop bills or other costs such as post and packing, card processing fees, website promotions, taxes or any pre approved special advertising etc. will be deducted from the final sale price – you don’t need to pay for these up front.
If you change your mind about selling an item which has been advertised and withdraw the item from sale we charge an administration fee of £30 to cover the costs of photography and marketing.
Whilst your instrument is with us we are responsible for it. If we allow your instrument to be tried or tested by a customer or send it out ‘on approval‘ we take full responsibility for the item. If any loss or damage occurs whilst your instrument is in our care the transaction will dealt with as if your instrument had been sold.
If we feel an advertised instrument needs review we will contact you.
