Bandry

No seller fees, ever

Buy and sell gear with real musicians.

A gear marketplace where the seller is a player, a producer, an engineer, someone in your scene, not an anonymous stranger. Buy, sell, or trade, local for pickup or remote if they'll ship. No seller fees, no cut of the sale.

How it works

List it. Find it. Link up. Done.

List it in a minute

Snap a few photos so the condition shows honest, or drop a Reverb or eBay link. Set a price, name a budget, or offer a trade. Photos are stripped of location data on your device before they post.

Find what's near you

Browse gear up around you, or globally for remote deals. The seller is a real musician in the scene, so the listing makes sense in context.

Link up, deal direct

Tap link up and your contact goes to the seller, and only the seller. You settle it off-platform, your way. No middleman, no fees, no shipping label we forced on you.

Keep the whole sale

A marketplace that doesn't take a cut.

Sell a $400 interface on a typical gear marketplace and roughly 8% disappears into selling and payment fees. On Bandry the deal is between you and the buyer, so you keep all of it. The marketplace comes with everything else Bandry does, for $9.99 a month.

Questions

Buying and selling gear on Bandry

Where can I buy and sell used music gear?

Bandry Market is a gear marketplace built into the app. Tap the title at the top of the bulletin and it flips from people to gear. List what you're selling with a few photos, or browse what's up around you, then link up to take the deal off-platform. Buy, sell, or trade, local for pickup or remote if they'll ship.

Does Bandry charge fees to sell gear?

No. There are no seller fees and no cut of the sale, because Bandry doesn't process the payment. You and the buyer connect directly and settle it however you want, so you keep the whole sale. Compare that to a marketplace that takes 5% plus payment processing on every transaction.

How is this different from Reverb or Craigslist?

Everyone on Bandry is already part of the same music scene, a player, a producer, an engineer, a studio. So the seller of those KRK monitors isn't an anonymous stranger, they're someone in your orbit. No marketplace fees, no random no-shows, and the gear sits right next to the people, studios, and gigs you're already there for.

Is it safe to buy gear from other musicians?

Your contact stays private until you deliberately link up, so you control who reaches you. Keep it local and meet to inspect the gear, or arrange shipping for remote deals. Because both sides are real Bandry members in the same scene, there's accountability a stranger on a free-for-all marketplace doesn't have.

Can I trade gear instead of selling it?

Yes. List it to sell, name a budget to buy, or trade straight up, and mark it negotiable if you want. Three active listings at a time keeps the board fresh instead of cluttered.
