Used studio monitors in Bristol typically sell for £60 to £350 (about $81 to $470). Studio monitors sell as a matched pair, so confirm both are the same model and revision, and check the drivers and surrounds on each.
Selling studio monitors in Bristol
Bristol has an unusually strong independent and second-hand culture, and buying used here is mainstream rather than niche. It is also a serious cycling city, both for commuting and for sport, so bikes and parts change hands constantly and buyers know what they are looking at.
Two large universities give the usual summer turnover, and the concentration of house-shares across the north of the city means furniture and kitchen kit moves between households constantly rather than only in June.
The city is hilly and the centre is congested, so a lot of people genuinely do collect small things by bike. For anything larger, the harbourside and central streets are tight on parking and it is worth agreeing a specific spot rather than an area.
On a used bike, ask about the frame first and the components second. Components are replaceable and a cracked or repaired frame is not, and it is the one thing photographs routinely hide.
Handing it over in Bristol

Common questions
Where can I sell studio monitors in Bristol?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. The city is hilly and the centre is congested, so a lot of people genuinely do collect small things by bike. For anything larger, the harbourside and central streets are tight on parking and it is worth agreeing a specific spot rather than an area.
Are they active or passive?
Check the rear for a power inlet. Passive monitors need a separate amp, which is a real extra cost for the buyer.
