Note: If you see an instrument listed
that you want , especially if it has just recently been posted, keep
in mind that you are probably one of 30 or 40 people corresponding with
us on that particular piece. Contacting us with questions about a
certain instrument does not mean it is on hold for you. The only
way to secure an instrument is to indicate by email or by phone that you
definitely want the instrument. We answer email sporadically during
the day but contacting us by phone will get an immediate answer as to the
current status of the instrument in question. We will put an instrument
on hold for you for a short period of time pending receiving shipping quotes.
All full price offers take precedent over lower offers on consignment instruments
and all unconditional offers take precedent over offers stipulating approval
periods, per the consignment contract we have signed with the seller.
Note: We try and remove sold items from
this list, as well as mark items "ON HOLD" promptly, but local customers
should
phone before coming to the store to confirm that the instrument
they are interested in is still available.
Note:
Instruments made in the United States, Canada or Mexico are not subject
to duty if shipped within North America per the NAFTA treaty. No
tax is charged at the Canadian end if an instrument is exported out of
Canada. Only GST is charged if an instrument is shipped out of province
within Canada. Instruments made outside North America are subject
to duty if shipped from Canada to the U.S.
Note:
Our basic consignment fee is 15% with a lower rate of 10% on sell prices
of $10,000.00 or more. We have had extremely successful world wide
sales from our web site with well over 120,000 hits per week and ads running
monthly in guitar specific periodicals.
Note: An asterisk * beside the model
name indicates this instrument is being sold by us on a consignment basis.
There are restrictions on how long we can hold a consignment instrument
(24 hours maximum). Any approval period on consignment instruments
has to be negotiated with the seller, before shipping.
Note: Shipping
in the winter months can expose instruments to climates that can adversely
affect finishes and woods. To minimize these risks, ask for quotes
on faster levels of shipping and purchase a guitar humidifier ("dampit")
to be shipped with your purchase. If you reside in a cold climate
area, when you receive your shipment, wait ten or eleven hours until the
box has come to room temperature before opening to minimize the chance
of lacquer checking.
Note:
We only ship very small amplifiers (Polytones, Princetons etc.) as large
amps have a high risk of breakage.
Note:Due
to fluctuating international currency exchange rates, the U.S. dollar amounts
shown on this page may not be accurate. We calculate these amounts
on the day the instrument is posted using the exchange rate from that time
period. Especially on high ticket items, the fluctuating exchange
rate can change the U.S. dollar figure significantly. Please ask
for the current U.S. dollar price when inquiring about the specific instrument
you are interested in.
Note:
Due to the high volume of vintage and used instruments coming through our
shop, it may take a few weeks for an instrument to show up on our
site (or up to a month for amplifiers). Only gear with a sell price
of $1000.00 or greater are guaranteed to be posted on our site. |
