Used drum kits in Amarillo typically sell for $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 Amarillo
Amarillo sits high on the plains in the middle of cattle country, with a beef processing industry of national significance, a helium reserve and a stretch of the old cross-country highway running through it. It is flat, windy and a long way from anywhere.
The city is flat and on a grid, so addresses are easy and parking is generous. It serves a vast rural area, so buyers may be driving a long way in and will want a firm time.
Wind and grit are constants on the plains. Check bearings and moving parts on anything that lived outdoors, since abrasion here is a real and under-noticed form of wear.
Amarillo, in Texas, has around 200,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Houston, San Antonio and Dallas are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Amarillo
The US resale market is enormous and highly local — most transactions still happen between people within driving distance of each other, and buyers expect to collect rather than wait for a courier.
