Used drum kits in Poole typically sell for £120 to £600 (about $160 to $810). Drum kits sell on shell pack completeness and what hardware is included, so count every stand and say plainly whether cymbals come with it.
Selling a drum kit in Poole
Poole has one of the largest natural harbours in the world, a luxury boatbuilder of international reputation and a spit of land that is among the most expensive real estate in the country. The old town and the quay sit right on the water.
The quay and the old town are the landmarks everyone uses, and parking there is difficult in summer and easy outside it. Chain ferry and harbour traffic can add time, so allow for it.
On marine equipment, check the trailer and the hardware as carefully as the item itself. Salt water is hard on bearings and fastenings and that is where the cost usually turns out to be.
Poole, in England, has around 151,000 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 Poole
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.

Take a head off and look. Damaged edges stop a drum tuning properly and are expensive to recut.
