Consignment · Cape Town

Get your gear sold.
Without the tyre-kickers.

We list it, test it, find a serious buyer, and settle with you. No meetings with strangers. No three months sitting in a garage. No argument about whether it arrived working.

01

Nothing listed without being benched

Every unit is powered up and tested before it goes live. Any cosmetic or functional fault is documented, per item, on the product page. Buyers know exactly what they're getting — which means fewer returns for you.

02

You know the rate before we list

Send us the details and we'll come back with what we think it'll actually sell for and what our cut is — no obligation. Agree first. List second. You're not signing anything you haven't seen.

03

Your money 14 days after delivery

We settle after delivery to the buyer — not on sale. That window lets obvious faults surface before the money moves. After that, it's yours. No follow-ups, no chasing.

What we take

  • Studio hardware — preamps, interfaces, compressors, monitors
  • Backline — amplifiers, cabs, instruments
  • Live sound — consoles, processors, amplifiers, speaker systems
  • AV and broadcast — cameras, capture cards, video routing
  • Anything with a traceable serial and proof of ownership
  • Gear you'd personally put in front of a client

What we won't take

  • Anything without a serial number, or with a defaced one
  • Anything we can't power up and test on a bench
  • Gear you can't show proof of ownership for
  • High-counterfeit-risk items — Shure wireless capsules, budget "1073" clones
  • Gear that we wouldn't personally put in front of a client

Condition grading

Every listing carries a grade.
Every fault is named.

Vague disclaimers don't work under the Consumer Protection Act, so we don't use them. Each unit gets a condition grade with every individual fault listed — which protects both of us.

A
75–85% of SA retail

As New

Boxed, complete, minimal hours. Warranty may still apply. The unit you'd be happy to unwrap in front of a client.

B
55–70% of SA retail

Working Unit

Honest studio or tour use. Everything functions. Cosmetic wear listed individually — a rack ear bend, a scuff on the lid, a missing knob cap. No surprises.

C
40–55% of SA retail

Functional with Faults

Named faults, missing accessories, or real cosmetic damage. Every issue itemised on the listing. Priced to reflect what it actually is.

How it works

Three steps from your studio to your bank account

The alternative is Gumtree — three months of tyre-kickers, meeting strangers with R65,000 of gear in your car, and no recourse if they claim it arrived broken. We sell certainty. This is how that works.

01

Tell us what you've got

Send us the make, model, age, and a couple of honest photos. Tell us what you think it's worth. Use the contact form and select "I want to sell or consign gear."


02

We assess, grade, and agree a rate

We bench test the unit, grade it honestly, and come back with a proposed listing price and our commission. No obligation. No offence if you'd rather sell it yourself.


03

We list it, we sell it, you get paid

Once a buyer is confirmed, we handle delivery. Fourteen days after the gear arrives with the buyer, we settle with you. Our commission scales with the value of the unit — smaller items carry a higher rate to cover intake and listing time, high-value items carry a lower one.

Consignment terms

Published, not negotiated per deal.

The single most common way consignment relationships go wrong is a term that gets renegotiated mid-deal. These are ours, in writing, before anything is listed.

Period

90 days. Then renewed at a new price, returned to you, or bought out by us.

Price ladder

No offers by day 30 → we drop 10%. Day 60 → another 10%. Day 90 → collect, renew, or buyout. No surprises.

Payout

14 days after delivery to the buyer. Not on sale. That window lets obvious issues surface before the money moves.

Withdrawal

R500 flat if you pull an item after it's been photographed and listed. Because that time costs us.

Full consignment agreement before anything is listed. Have your own lawyer read it — ours already has.
