Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I get for my instrument? ⌄
A Gibson Les Paul Standard can fetch $800–$2,000+, a Fender Stratocaster goes for $400–$1,200, a Roland electronic drum kit sells for $300–$900, a Nord keyboard can fetch $500–$1,500, and a vintage guitar amp ranges from $200–$1,000+. Vintage and rare instruments can sell for significantly more. Connect with a local buyer for an accurate quote.
Do I need the original case? ⌄
Having the original hard case increases the value. Many buyers will still purchase without one, but a good-condition hard case can add $50–$150 to the offer.
Will buyers purchase instruments that need repairs? ⌄
Many local buyers will purchase instruments needing minor repairs — fret work, electronics, cosmetic damage — and repair them for resale. Major structural damage reduces value significantly.
Do buyers accept amplifiers and effects pedals separately? ⌄
Yes — most local instrument buyers also purchase amps, pedals, audio interfaces, microphones, and other gear. You don’t need to sell as a bundle.
How is Trade Into Cash different from selling at Guitar Center? ⌄
Guitar Center used gear prices are typically 30–50% below what local cash buyers will offer. Trade Into Cash connects you with buyers who pay fair market value in cash.
