We Buy Used Gear!
Turn your unused instruments into cash
Selling at The Starving Musician
If you've got a musical instrument that's been sitting around collecting dust or you simply want to upgrade to something else, we can help. Instead of trying to sell it online and dealing with the hassle of lowballers and strangers coming to your house, we make the process incredibly easy.
Simply bring in what you want to sell and we'll let you know what we can pay you IN CASH!
How We Price Used Gear
When buying used gear, we typically pay (IN CASH) about half of what we think we can sell something for. Some items retain their value better than others. As a result, you may not be able to recoup as much of the original value as with other items.
Consignment Option
We also offer consignment for some unusual or highly valuable items, depending on floor space. When your consignment item sells, you get 75%.
Requirements for Selling

Before You Bring Your Item In
Make sure items being brought in for sale can be tested.
- Guitars and basses need to have strings on them
- Items that require an external power source should have the correct one
Note: We can put strings on your instrument for you when you come in if you are unable to do so yourself, but we do charge for that service.
Not Sure If We Want What You're Selling?
Simply call or email us to get a rough idea of what your item is worth and the best time to bring it in. We are always on the lookout for cool used pieces so don't hesitate to reach out!
