Second-hand music & instruments in Surrey typically sells for C$28 to C$1,500 (about $20 to $1,100). Brand and playing condition decide most of it, and an instrument that has been set up properly is worth more than one that has sat untouched. Cosmetic marks matter far less here than on almost anything else.
Buying music & instruments in Surrey
Surrey is among the fastest-growing cities in the country, with a young population, large family households and a great deal of new housing. Practical household goods and children’s equipment dominate what changes hands.
Anything with a soundboard hates being posted: temperature and knocks in transit undo a setup and can crack a body outright. Carrying it home yourself, in its case, is the safest journey it will make.
What to check in person
Ask what it has been stored in and where, because an unheated room does more harm over a winter than years of playing. On anything electric, work every switch and socket while it is plugged in, and listen for crackle as the controls turn.
Collecting it in Surrey
It needs a car boot rather than a bag, so agree somewhere you can actually stop for a few minutes. That is easier away from the centre than in it.
Spread out and built for driving, with easy parking almost everywhere, which makes furniture and appliance collection simple. Distances within the city are longer than they appear on a map.

Record a short clip of it being played and put that with your listing, because it answers what photographs cannot. Give the model and the year if you know them, and list every part that is not original to it. Lifts in September as lessons restart, and again after Christmas.
Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
