I don't know how to post a listing to sell my trumpet, can't find it on here. Can anyone show me how to do this?

It's a Yamaha Wayne Bergeron and I'm in San Jose, California.

OK I found the Marketplace, now I have to figure out how to put an ad on there.

There are other posts with more details. You can search for them on Google or bing using site:TrumpetHerald.com marketplace +todd

You might want to check out threads on picture sizes as adding pictures appears to fail if the pics are too large.

I have successfully used the consignment sales of West Valley Music in Mountain View.

https://www.westvalleymusic.com/

They do take a commission. But they earn it.

Support your local music store,
Gary.

Screw the local music store. Sell it online and get the most for your horn.

I actually got it from there. I'm just going to do it through Craig's List. It's not hard to find in a search in case anyone here is local and interested in it.

They're a pretty nice shop and basically the last music store standing around here.

It's a nice horn though and Craig's List it is. I'm going to lower the price each week lol.

You have no guarantees either as a seller or buyer on craigs list. If you use it make sure your transaction is well documented; plenty of photos and text and written confirmation from the buyer.

p.s. Personally, I would never use craigs list unless I could make the final transaction in person.

Do not sell on Craigslist. This isn't 1998. You have no protections. Ebay is your best bet.

Places I recommend to sell:
1. Trumpetherald or Trumpetboards
2. Reverb
3. Facebook marketplace

I don't deal with Craigslist anymore, and eBay charges too much in fees.

That's exactly how I do it. I already told someone in FLorida of all places, who called me about it, that unless he wants to fly out here and meet in person won't sell it to him.
