Used Korg instruments and music gear typically sell for $65 to $969 (about £48 to £720) depending on the instrument and its condition. Musical instruments are bought by people who will play them, so the listing has to answer how it plays rather than how it looks. Action, electronics and whether the neck is straight matter more than the finish, and a photograph down the neck says more than a dozen glamour shots.

Sizes, tunings and what is included on Korg instruments and music gear
Korg keyboards are separated by their key action rather than by their sounds: weighted hammer actions, semi-weighted and synth actions feel entirely different under the hands. Older instruments also carry an internal battery that eventually fails and takes the stored settings with it.
- Digital pianos draw the most interest, chosen on the key action grade well before any other feature
- Keyboards and synthesizers sell on the sounds and on whether the internal memory still holds its settings
- Audio interfaces move on the connections they carry and on driver support for current operating systems
What to check before you buy
Name the key action and say whether every key sounds evenly at low velocity. Play the whole keyboard and report any dead or weak notes, since that is the discovery a buyer most dreads after carrying a heavy instrument home.
For the checks that apply to any used instruments and music gear regardless of the maker, see the guide to buying used instruments and music gear.
What you keep when you sell
On a typical $517 Korg instrument, a marketplace charging 20% takes $103, one charging 13.6% takes $70 and one charging 10% takes $52. WishThrift charges neither side, so you keep the whole $517.
Listing your Korg instruments and music gear
- Restring it and give it a basic set-up before photographing. A well-set-up instrument plays better in the buyer’s hands and it costs very little
- Include a short clip of it being played if you can. Nothing else you can add is as persuasive to a musician

Questions
What should I check on a used digital piano?
Every key at soft and hard velocity, both pedals, the headphone sockets and the speakers. Note any key that sticks or sounds at the wrong level. These are heavy to return, so buyers want the checks done and described before they arrange to collect one.
Do older synthesizers lose their saved sounds?
Many do. An internal battery holds the user memory and it fails after enough years, which wipes any stored patches and sometimes the calibration with them. Say whether yours still remembers its settings after being unplugged overnight, because that answer changes the price.
