Common questions
How do you calculate fair market value?
We check local and international pricing trends, then weigh condition, year and included accessories.
How long does consignment last?
Initial term is 90 days. We can renew or adjust price by mutual agreement.
What happens if my gear doesn't sell?
You can reduce the asking price, switch to trade-in, or collect it. The R1,200 setup fee is non-refundable.
Do you accept all gear?
We focus on mid-to-high-end guitars, basses, amps, pedals and pro audio. Submit anything — we'll let you know.
