Seeking advice

I recently posted an ad on the Yellow Board trying to sell my horn. Since there has been no response to the ad, I am asking information about other sites where I can advertise my desire to sell my horn. Thanks for any help you may provide.

We sold ours via consignment through Fleming Musical Instruments in Houston. They take a good chunk of the profit, however they ship, insure, etc. to people trying it out throughout the country. It was a really good experience.

I've also consigned a couple of horns through Houghton. He's a great supporter of the TMEA/TBA conventions. They'll require the horn to be ultrasonically cleaned and the consignment fee is 22.5%. Houghton Consignments

Three places I've seen & had success with selling instruments & accessories.

1. Reverb App (iOS & Android)

2. Facebook Market Place

3. Repeat Performance 806-866-0340 www.2andHandBand.com jent@2ndhandband.com

Check the returns policies with the places you're selling. This can make it or break it for me. It costs a lot of money to properly pack & ship an instrument (so that it doesn't get damaged in transit).

Avoid Ebay. Their policies have made it very difficult to sell personal instruments.

Craigslist- you takes your chances.

Facebook marketplace has really taken over as the best option for buying and selling used instruments.

If still no response locally through marketplace you could sell and ship through buy/sell pages on facebook that are instrument specific and they still tend to work much better than craigslist, eBay, or forum/classifieds.
