Used drum kits in Boise 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 Boise
Boise is the state capital and by far its largest city, sitting where the mountains meet the high desert plain with a river running through the centre and a long greenbelt along it. It has grown very quickly with arrivals from the coast.
In-migration from more expensive states means households are constantly being set up here. Outdoor equipment turns over constantly because the mountains and the river are genuinely used rather than admired.
The city is compact and easy to drive in, and the greenbelt is the landmark everyone uses. Parking is straightforward, so anything large is simple.
On outdoor gear, ask its age and how it was stored rather than only whether it works. Anything load-bearing has a service life, and this equipment gets genuinely used here.
Boise, in Idaho, has around 235,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. New York, Los Angeles and Chicago are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Boise
USPS, UPS and FedEx all cover the country. USPS Ground Advantage is normally cheapest for anything under a few pounds in weight; above that the gap narrows quickly.
