Sell an Instrument 

We offer a low cost while very efficient service to sellers of historical instruments. We maintain an updated listing where you can publish your offering. The listing is mailed to our huge database of interested customers and is reproduced in full on our website. Once in contact, seller and buyer agree on the transaction and RWC doesn't intervene.

There is not exclusivity agreement with us and you can sell or advert your instrument through any other broker. You are only required to notify us immediately when the instrument is sold, so that we can remove it from our listings.

Our fares for sellers
We charge a tiny amount of only 30 euros for listing your instrument for a one year period or until it is sold. For that price you can add a complete description and up to six detailed pictures. In that period, you will straightway get for free the contact with all the buyers interested in your advertisement. Excepting changes to reduce the price of your instrument, each subsequent changes in the text, pictures or contact details will draw a fee of 5 euros.

If you prefer browsing our buyer list and select one of them, we will pass you the contact details. This will cost you only 2 euros for each advertised buyer of your interest.

How to sell an instrument

   Photographing your instrument
Good photos attract potential buyers.
1- Use a generous amount of natural light. If not possible and must shoot with a flash, try turning on all the other available lighting in the room.
2- Remember to remove books, electric wires or anything else that might become eye-catching when they appear in a photo.
3- Dust the instrument and the stand.
4- Try to have your instrument fill up the viewfinder in your camera. Shoot from as close up as possible.
5- Send digital photos at a resolution around 150 dpi. in the JPG format. The file size of your photo should be about one megabytes big.
