Used electronic drum kits in Melbourne typically sell for A$285 to A$1,350 (about $200 to $940). Electronic kits sell on the module and whether the pads are mesh or rubber, so name the module model and say which pads are which.
Selling an electronic drum kit in Melbourne
Melbourne has the strongest vintage and op-shop culture in Australia and a large student population across several universities, so buying second hand here is entirely ordinary. It is also the country’s music city, which keeps instruments, amps and records moving in a way they do not everywhere.
Students arrive in February and leave in November, which inverts the northern-hemisphere rhythm. The inner suburbs also carry a lot of share-house accommodation, and share houses reshuffle constantly rather than seasonally.
The tram network covers the inner suburbs densely and is how most small handovers happen. The city is flat, which makes collecting a bike or a chest of drawers by car straightforward, though inner-suburb streets are narrow and permit parking is tightly enforced.
On anything stored in a garage or shed, check for damp. The winters here are wetter and colder than the city’s reputation suggests, and fabric and particle board both suffer for it.

Australia Post covers everywhere, but distance pricing is real and interstate parcels cost meaningfully more than local ones.

The city is flat, which makes collecting a bike or a chest of drawers by car straightforward, though inner-suburb streets are narrow and permit parking is tightly enforced.
Is the loom cable included?
Check. The multi-core loom is model-specific and expensive to replace, and its absence is a serious deduction.
