Used drum kits in Ayr typically sell for £120 to £600 (about $160 to $810). Kits are sold as bundles of parts, and what raises the price is completeness rather than the shells alone.
Selling a drum kit in Ayr
Ayr is a seaside town on the Firth of Clyde with a long sandy beach, a racecourse that holds the biggest jump race in Scotland, and a place in national affection as the county of the poet Robert Burns, who was born in the village next to it.
The beach front and the high street are the landmarks everyone uses and the town is flat and compact. Race days fill the town, so check the fixture list before arranging anything large.
On golf equipment, check the shafts and grips rather than the heads. Courses along this coast are played year-round and it is the grips and shafts that actually wear out.
Ayr, in Scotland, has around 46,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Ayr
Royal Mail, Evri and InPost cover the whole country, and InPost lockers mean neither side has to be in for a delivery. Tracked 48 is the usual default for small parcels.
