Second-hand music & instruments in Coffs Harbour typically sells for A$29 to A$1,550 (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 Coffs Harbour
Coffs Harbour is a coastal town midway along the highway between the two largest cities on this seaboard, built on bananas and tourism and now largely on the latter. It is a stopping point as much as a destination, which keeps people and goods moving through it.
Two examples of the same model rarely sound alike, because timber, age and how hard a thing has been used all leave their mark. Hearing it in a quiet room is the whole decision, and no recording made on a phone stands in for that.
What to check in person
Leave it tuned and come back to it twenty minutes later, since an instrument that will not hold pitch has a problem at the pegs or the bridge. Look inside the soundhole with a light for loose bracing, and check the neck joint where it meets the body.
Collecting it in Coffs Harbour
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.
The highway splits the town from the beach side, so agree which side you are meeting on. Parking near the jetty fills up in holiday periods and is otherwise easy.
Selling your music & instruments in Coffs Harbour free
Holiday letting and seasonal work both turn households over regularly, and families moving to the coast for lifestyle reasons arrive and leave often enough to keep furniture and children’s equipment circulating.
Say when it was last set up or serviced, and be honest about buzzes and dead spots. Have it tuned and ready to play when the buyer arrives, and include the case if you have it, because a case is worth real money on its own. Lifts in September as lessons restart, and again after Christmas.
Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
