Used electronic drum kits in Newcastle typically sell for A$285 to A$1,350 (about $200 to $940). Electronic kits are valued on the module and the pad types, and mesh heads sell well above rubber ones.
Selling an electronic drum kit in Newcastle
Newcastle exports more coal than any other harbour in the world and spent a century as a steel city before the works closed, which left it reinventing itself around a university, a port and some of the best surf beaches in the country. It is a genuine city rather than a large town, and the market here has the depth to match.
The university turns over student households every year and the inner suburbs have gentrified fast, which puts both cheap student furniture and much better pieces onto the market at the same time.
The city is compact enough that meeting near the centre or a beach car park is practical, and the light rail and rail line make small handovers easy without a car. Anything large is a drive, and the inner suburbs have the narrow streets to prove it.
For anything that has lived near the beach, check the hardware for corrosion. Salt air travels further inland here than people expect, and it reaches screws and bearings long before it marks the surface.
