Used classical guitars in Middlesbrough typically sell for £40 to £180 (about $54 to $240). Classical guitars are judged on whether the top is solid, which is the single biggest factor in both sound and price.
Selling a classical guitar in Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough grew from a hamlet to an iron and steel town in a single lifetime and its transporter bridge is one of very few left working anywhere. The chemical and process industry on Teesside remains substantial, and the university sits in the middle of the town.
Industrial contraction has left process and engineering tools in private hands, and the university clears student housing each June. Housing costs here are among the lowest in the country, so people furnish rather than replace.
The town is flat and compact and parking is easy by any standard, which makes collecting something large genuinely simple. The station and the transporter bridge are the landmarks everyone uses.
Middlesbrough, in England, has around 175,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. London, Birmingham and Leeds are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Middlesbrough
Distance selling rules bind traders, not private sellers, but an item must still be as described and anything sold as working must actually work.

Post only in a hard case with the strings slackened and the headstock padded. Collection lets the buyer play it, which sells a guitar better than any photograph.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
