Sell, Trade, & Consignments

Keeping it Local

Buying, trading, and consigning are at the heart of what we do at Mill River Music.

We bring hundreds of thousands of dollars into the Pioneer Valley right into the hands of local musicians by purchasing fairly from you! Who does that?

Some stores act like its a burden to buy your gear, and offer low prices while grumbling about what junk it is.  Not here!

Our walk-in sellers are our vendors, you are how we make a living, and we treat you with respect and care, offering a thorough market evaluation of your instrument and different levels of payout depending on what's right for you in the situation. We have a purchasing manager in-store every minute we are open (maybe minus one or two) so that you can paid on the spot.

Sell

We buy instruments of all kinds outright, and give you a price that we can both feel good about. Walk in with gear, walk out with a check, any time we are open.

Trade

You can also trade your instrument for something new. Don't see something you like right at that moment? You get a credit here at our shop to use for the future. You get a bit more "bang for your buck" with trades than if you just sell the instrument to us outright. Plus, save 6.25% taxes on the trade in credit !!  You can use your credit for purchase, repair, lessons, gift cards, etc.
