Can you really give me a proper assessment?
Everyone feels anxious when letting go of their electric guitar. Because it's a book I'm attached to, I want to entrust it to someone who understands its value. We understand that feeling.

Drum/Percussion Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently asked questions from customers
Q1. What kind of things can I sell?
A1. Any drum-related equipment such as drum sets, snares, electronic drums, cymbals, various percussion instruments, etc.We buy. It doesn't matter if there are scratches, rust, or stickers.
Q2. What are some tips for selling drums and percussion at a high price?
A2. Please clean it lightly and prepare the accessories (stand, manual, case, etc.). Also, it is easier to increase the appraised value if you sell items in bulk, such as drum sets, rather than snares individually.
Q3. Can I sell the drum or percussion even if it is broken?
A3. Yes, we can buy electronic drums that don't produce sound or broken cymbals. Please do not give up and contact us as the parts may be valuable or repairable.
Q4. Should the head (skin) be replaced before the assessment?
A4. There is no need to replace it. You can leave the old head alone. Please bring it in as it is, as the replacement cost will rarely be added to the appraised value.
Q5. How do I purchase a drum set?
A5. There are three methods: ``in-store purchase'', ``home delivery purchase'', and ``on-site purchase''. With on-site purchasing, where our staff comes to your home to assess the property, you don't have to worry about packaging or transporting it.
