About Sell Us Your Guitar Ltd
Sell Us Your Guitar Ltd: guitar buying and selling with collection service
Sell Us Your Guitar Ltd is a company registered in England (Company Number 13056460) with its registered office at Unit 8A, Grosvenor Mill, Ashton-Under-Lyne, OL7 0RG. Its business focuses on making it easier for individuals to sell guitars through several options: direct sale, part exchange and commission sale. The company has been operating since 2017 and presents itself as the first of its kind to offer a comprehensive buying service that includes bespoke packaging, courier collection and fast payment.
Sales options
The company structures its offering around three main routes. The most popular is the direct sale, in which the customer sells their guitar to the company and receives payment by bank transfer. According to the company's information, the amount offered is around two thirds of the instrument's second-hand value. This service does not accept entry-level guitars or those with significant cosmetic or structural damage. In addition, due to rising shipping and packaging costs, collection is not offered for guitars with a second-hand value below £300, nor for valve amplifiers or amp cabinets.
Part exchange works in a similar way to a direct sale, but adds an additional discount redeemable against the purchase of another item. The value of the bonus depends on the product the customer wishes to buy, so when upgrading it is often significant. In this option the company states that it is more flexible about the instruments accepted than in a direct sale.
Commission sale is presented as a standout service, with rates starting at £60 plus 7% of the final sale price, rising to £95 plus 9.5% if collection using the company's packaging service is required.
Catalogue and complementary services
In addition to buying, the company sells electric and acoustic guitars and basses, as well as amplifiers and pedals. It also offers packaging and repair services, and has its own set-up process. The website includes pricing sections, frequently asked questions and a form to start any of the sales options.
