Step 1: Assess the value of your instrument

Before setting a price, it is important to know the current value of your instrument. Here are the key points:

  • Look for the current new price: Models evolve rapidly, and the new price may have changed. Check manufacturers' or retailers' websites for the current value.
  • Consider the general condition: scratches, damaged keys or malfunctions can affect the value. A second-hand keyboard in very good condition usually sells for 60-70% of its new price.

A polished presentation improves your chances of selling quickly:

  • Thorough cleaning: Clean the keys, surface and connectors. A clean keyboard attracts more buyers.
  • Check operation: Test each function (keys, sliders, MIDI/USB connections). Repair or report any malfunctions.
  • Take quality photos: Show off your keyboard with clear, detailed photos from multiple angles in natural light.
Step 3: Write a detailed and honest advert

A full and honest description inspires confidence:

  • Key information: Specify the make, model, year of purchase, dimensions and technical specifications.
  • Mention any defects: If the instrument has scratches or faulty keys, state this clearly to avoid any nasty surprises..
  • Add accessories: Mention whether you're including a stand, cover or mains adapter. This can increase the appeal of your ad..
Step 4: Answer buyers' questions quickly

Fast, clear communication is the key to closing a sale:

  • Availability: Be ready to respond quickly to messages from interested buyers.
  • Clarity: Provide precise answers to questions about the instrument's functionality or condition.
