Second-hand music & instruments in High Wycombe typically sells for £15 to £800 (about $20 to $1,100).

Cosmetic marks matter far less here than on almost anything else.
Buying music & instruments in High Wycombe
It sits in a steep valley on the corridor into the capital.
Anything with a soundboard hates being posted: temperature and knocks in transit undo a setup and can crack a body outright. Carrying it home yourself, in its case, is the safest journey it will make.
What to check in person
Ask what it has been stored in and where, because an unheated room does more harm over a winter than years of playing. On anything electric, work every switch and socket while it is plugged in, and listen for crackle as the controls turn.

The town is in a narrow valley and the sides are steep, so for anything heavy establish the approach rather than only the address. The station and the centre are easy to reach.
