Frequently Asked Questions

How do you calculate what my gear is worth?
We pull recent sold listings from Reverb — actual completed transactions, not asking prices. We then calculate the average, remove outliers (accessories, parts, extreme low-price items), and present the real market value range. This gives you a much more accurate picture than looking at what people are asking for.
What affects the value of used music gear?
The biggest factors are: condition (mint vs good can be a 30-50% difference), model/series (American-made Fenders are worth significantly more than Mexican-made), year (certain vintage years command premiums), modifications (aftermarket mods can add or reduce value depending on the buyer), and market timing (prices fluctuate with trends and new model releases).
Why does the value come back "price range too wide"?
This usually means your search returned a mix of different models or variants. For example, "Fender Telecaster" matches everything from a £300 Mexican Squier to a £5,000 Custom Shop — giving a wide price range that isn't useful for any individual guitar. Be more specific: include the series (e.g. "American Professional"), year, or fretboard material to narrow it down.
Is this the same as a professional appraisal?
No — this is a market value estimate based on recent online sales, which reflects what buyers are actually paying right now. A professional appraisal considers physical condition, provenance, and authenticity in person. For insurance, estate, or high-value vintage instruments, always use a certified appraiser. This tool is best for gauging the current secondhand market value before buying or selling.
How current is the data?
Results are fetched live from Reverb every time you search — there's no cached data. The sold listings shown are the most recent available, typically ranging from the last few months to a year or two for less common instruments.
What's the difference between this and the Sold Price History tool?
The Sold Price History tool shows you a chronological chart of every sale — useful if you want to see price trends over time or compare conditions. This tool focuses on giving you a single current market value estimate, which is more useful if you just want to know what your specific item is worth today.
