19 Jun 09 - 07:18 PM (#2660554) Subject: RE: English Concertina: where to sell? From: Acorn4 There's a bloke in Stoke-on-Trent called Chris Algar who buys and sells and will give you a fair price. I'll try to find his details and pm you -it's getting late now. Julia bought her concertina from him a number of years back. |

19 Jun 09 - 08:17 PM (#2660598) Subject: RE: English Concertina: where to sell? From: Surreysinger Google for Barleycorn Concertinas, and you will find the internet location of Chris Algar's business ... it's the first hit that comes up. (Sorry, haven't got the link to hand). You can sell to interested parties via the Buy and Sell forum on concertina.net as well, normally donating a percentage of sale price for anything you manage to sell through the group. |

19 Jun 09 - 08:42 PM (#2660613) Subject: RE: English Concertina: where to sell? From: Ross Campbell Finding out exactly what you have is the first step. Figuring out how to describe it correctly (and as fully as possible) is the second. Ebay is checked out worldwide by people seeking good instruments, but obviously they have to be convinced by the description (and pictures) you supply. Even if you don't end up selling there, its worth a look to see what similar instruments are fetching. Hobgoblin are also worth a look for that, and they have a branch in London which might be worth a visit fotr their opinion of your instrument (bear in mind that any dealer will only be offering a price at which he still expects to make a profit).
