What music gear do you buy?
We buy guitar pedals, synths, drum machines, samplers, MIDI controllers, studio hardware and microphones.
Do you buy guitars?
No. We don’t buy guitars, but we’re all about the gear that makes them sound amazing — pedals, effects, synths and studio equipment.
Do you buy broken or faulty gear?
We’re interested in items in any condition — working perfectly, a little worn, or not working. Just be honest about its condition and we’ll price it fairly.
How do I get a quote?
Fill in our Sell Your Gear form with the make, model, condition and a few photos. We’ll get back to you with a fair offer based on what you’ve described.
How quickly will I hear back?
We usually reply quickly. The clearer your description and photos, the faster we can give you a price.
Where do you collect from?
We collect in Brighton, Hove, Worthing, Lancing and Shoreham-by-Sea.
Can I sell to you from outside Sussex?
Yes. We buy by post from anywhere in the UK. Once we’ve agreed a quote, we arrange for you to send your gear to us, subject to inspection.
Is postage free?
Postage is free on quotes over £250. On quotes under £250, the cost of postage is deducted from your offer, and we’ll confirm the amount when we send your quote.
How do I get paid?
Postal sales are paid by bank transfer within 24 hours of us receiving and checking your gear. For local collections, we pay cash on the spot.
Who runs Echo Exchange?
Echo Exchange is run by musicians who have been buying and selling music gear for over 5 years, with 800+ items sold and 100% positive feedback on eBay.
What if my gear isn’t quite as I described?
If your gear turns out to be different from how it was described, we’ll send you a revised offer.
