Where to Buy and Sell Used Music Gear (Introducing Market)

Buying and selling music gear is its own special kind of miserable. Reverb takes a cut. eBay takes a bigger one. Craigslist is a coin flip between a real buyer and someone who wants to "inspect it in person" at 11pm. And Facebook Marketplace turns a $400 pedal into forty messages, half of them "is this still available," the other half lowballing you to $150.

Meanwhile the people who would actually want your gear, who know what a vintage Jazzmaster is worth, who need exactly the interface you are upgrading from, are sitting in your own scene. You just have no good way to reach them. So we built one.

Introducing Market

Market is Bandry's gear marketplace, and it lives right inside the app you use to find bandmates and hire engineers. Tap the title at the top of the feed and the Bulletin flips to Market: same board, same scene, gear instead of people. Buy, sell, or trade with real musicians instead of strangers, and handle the deal directly with nothing standing in the middle taking a cut.

How It Works

If you have used the Bulletin, you already know Market. It is the same post, the same 🔗, pointed at gear.

• Tap the title to flip from Bulletin to Market. One tap takes you to gear, one tap takes you back. The whole scene's listings, in the same place you read everything else.
• Post to sell, buy, or trade. Selling a pedal, hunting for a bass, or want to swap a synth you never touch for something you will. Set a price, name a budget, or just say what you are after. Mark it negotiable if you are open to offers.
• Show the real thing. Snap photos right from your phone so buyers see the actual condition, the buckle rash, the worn frets, not a stock image. Or skip photos and drop your existing Reverb, eBay, or Marketplace link instead.
• Filter to what you want. Guitars, basses, amps, pedals, drums, keys, mics, monitors, interfaces, and more. Find the thing without scrolling past a PA when you came for a fuzz box.
• Link up to close the deal. See something you want? Tap 🔗, same as anywhere else in Bandry. Your contact goes to the seller, they reach out, and you handle it off-platform. No middleman, no fees, no shipping label we forced on you.
• Three active listings at a time. Keeps the board fresh and gives everyone a fair shot at being seen, instead of one seller flooding it.

And because this is Bandry, your privacy holds. Listing photos are processed right on your device before they post, and any location data baked into them gets stripped out. Selling an amp never tells the whole internet where you live.

Also in This Update

• Rates on Bulletin posts. Posts can now carry a rate, so you can say what something costs up front. Offering a mixing pass, a photo session, or a day at your studio? Put a price or a range on it. Looking to hire? Set your budget. Mark it negotiable if it is flexible. Less back-and-forth before anyone links up.
• Polish throughout. Editing a listing's photos updates instantly, and a handful of rough edges got smoothed out across the app.

What to Do Next

Market is live in the app now. Flip the feed over, list that pedal you never use, and see what your scene has for sale. The gear you need is usually closer than you think, often a few miles away, in the same scene you are already building. Head to bandry.app to get the app and see what's live near you.
