A Better Way to Sell Guitars Online
Selling a guitar on eBay or Facebook Marketplace means dealing with lowballers, no-shows, and payment disputes. Audio Trader removes all of that. You get a guaranteed price from a professional buyer, free doorstep collection, and payment by bank transfer or PayPal once we've checked your guitar. We've bought thousands of guitars this way and our Google reviews speak for themselves. Rated 5.0 stars by real sellers.
What Guitars Can I Sell Online?
We buy electric guitars, acoustic guitars, bass guitars, classical guitars, and everything in between. Working or not working, mint or well-played. If you have a guitar sitting in a case or leaning against a wall gathering dust, chances are we'll make you an offer. Just tell us the make, model, and condition, and we'll do the rest.
We're here to help
How do I get a quote for my guitar?
Simply fill out our quick online form with details about your guitar, including the model, condition, and any accessories. We'll review your submission and send you a fair quote within 24 hours. No obligation, no hassle.
How do I get paid?
Once we receive and inspect your guitar, we send your payment. You can choose between Bank Transfer or PayPal - whichever is more convenient for you.
Where's the Best Place to Sell a Guitar in the UK?
It depends what you want. eBay gets you the widest audience but takes a fee, and you carry the risk on postage and chargebacks. Facebook Marketplace is free but local only, and you will spend your weekend waiting for people who do not turn up. Reverb reaches serious players but is slow and international shipping is a headache.
Selling to a dealer like us means a guaranteed price, no fees, and the whole thing done inside a week. You will usually get less than a patient private sale and more than a pawnbroker or a part-exchange against new gear. If you want the best price and have months to wait, sell privately. If you want a fair price and it gone by Friday, that is what we do.
Do I need the original case or accessories?
Original cases and accessories can increase your quote value, but they're not required. We buy Guitars in all configurations. Just let us know what's included when you request your quote.
What condition Guitars do you buy?
We buy Guitars in all conditions - from mint to well-loved. Whether it has scratches or needs repairs, we're interested. Condition affects the quote, but we consider all instruments.
How do I ship my guitar to you?
You don't have to worry about shipping! We offer free collection UK-wide. Once you accept our quote, we'll arrange a convenient collection time. Alternatively, you can drop off at our location if you prefer.
How much is my guitar worth?
It comes down to make, model, year, condition and what the market is doing right now. A Squier Strat and a 1970s Gibson Les Paul are both guitars and there are three noughts between them. Submit the details and we'll give you a real number within 24 hours rather than a range you have to guess from.
