 c/o: Frinck51 If you or your child has played any musical instruments, you know just how expensive they can be. Unfortunately, it’s hard to skimp by on instruments, and you can’t excel at your hobby unless you have something quality-made to work with. In the past, people had no choice but to purchase brand new instruments and risk the fact that their child may not use the instrument a few months later. Yet thanks to the internet, there are many options available for people to buy used instruments for a fraction of the price.
Buying Used Instruments Online The good thing about used instruments is that they are generally in very good condition. Since they’re expensive, people can see the instruments in person and try them out to make sure everything is in working order. Generally, these instruments are ones that were not used very much, mostly because students decided not to play that particular instrument after all. More specifically, Craigslist has been a great site for people to buy used instruments for less. Benefits to Shopping on Craigslist Using the Craigslist platform, you can view photos of the instrument so you have a good idea of what it looks like. People post information about the instrument, and since Craigslist deals locally, you’ll pick up the instrument in person. This is a good thing, considering you don’t have to pay for shipping or handling, and you can view the instrument’s quality and performance. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to buy it. What if You’re Not Comfortable Shopping for “As Is” Instruments? There are some worries about Craigslist, however, and they mostly lie in the fact that anything you purchase is “as is”. You can’t return the item once you purchase it, so if there is an issue, you’re out the money. Although Craigslist can be dependable, you may find it better to buy a used or consigned instrument from a company like Catfish Music. Our established business has both used and consigned instruments, as well as rentals that you can try out before committing to buy. If there is a problem, you have a company you can count on, and we do all our repairs in-house for added peace of mind. No matter where you choose to get your instrument from, sites like Craigslist has made it possible to purchase good quality instruments for less so that people aren’t stuck paying full price.
