Hi guys. Sorry to invade from the Volly forum, but I was looking for some advice. I've decided to sell my Hammig picc having bought a new and much cheaper Pearl (I don't do orchestral playing anymore and need something that will stand Volly band abuse in rain, snow etc!). Can anyone suggest the best way to sell it? Thanks

You could try eBay but start it at the minimum price you would be happy with, failing that you could try a local music shop and sell it on a commission basis

Anne....
Up here in Jockland we have a weekly paper called Scot-Ads. The idea is you advertise free and people pay for the paper. I've sold many many items by this system, and if you're not in a great hurry to sell you can repeat your advert numerous times without charge. I'm sure there's a West Country version of the same paper...


Jan-Ads..????

Good Luck.
