Used electronic drum kits in Boston typically sell for $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 Boston
Boston has an extraordinary concentration of universities and a lease cycle that famously turns over on the same day at the end of summer. For a few days the entire city moves at once, and the second-hand market is built around it.
The end-of-summer turnover is the single biggest event in the local second-hand calendar — furniture appears in enormous volume over about seventy-two hours, and prices are never lower than in that window.
The streets are narrow and old, the triple-decker staircases are tight, and parking during the moving week is close to impossible without planning. The T handles small handovers easily; anything bigger needs a genuine plan.
During the end-of-summer turnover, check upholstered furniture carefully before taking it. Volume is enormous and a great deal of it is genuinely good, but it is also the moment when items get moved out to the kerb for a reason.
Handing it over in Boston
Two practical things shape a US sale. Shipping is priced by dimensional weight as well as actual weight, so a light bulky item can cost far more to send than a heavy small one — measure the box before you quote. And meeting in person is common enough that many police departments now run designated safe-exchange areas in their car parks.

Is the loom cable included?
Check. The multi-core loom is model-specific and expensive to replace, and its absence is a serious deduction.
