Consignment and Buyback
- Consignment: ideal for getting the best price. Your equipment is prepared, showcased, and distributed to a wide network of buyers (store, site, Reverb, social networks). The wait is a bit longer, but you maximize the value of your instrument.
- Immediate buyback: perfect if you want to sell quickly and leave directly with your payment. It’s a simple and secure solution, but the price offered is naturally lower than what you could obtain through consignment.
Consignment shop
Putting your equipment on consignment in the store guarantees that it will be valued and sold in the best possible time and conditions. Unlike other stores that split their activity between second-hand and new, we specialize in second-hand: our priority is to highlight your equipment, not to push the sale of new products.
With nearly ten years of experience, we have acquired real know-how and a well-established organization to manage each step of the sale efficiently and transparently.
How does it work?
Estimation and agreement on the price
You present your equipment directly at the store (we do not provide estimates over the phone). We will set its selling price together, taking into account its new value (if it is still marketed), its current condition, its market value, and similar models that we have already sold. For vintage or collectible instruments, we will carefully disassemble them if necessary to verify their authenticity.
Once we have agreed on the price and the potential amount for the restoration work, we will sign a consignment contract together to formalize these conditions.
Preparation for sale
When depositing the instrument or equipment, we perform a complete check-up in your presence to ensure its proper working condition and to estimate any potential restoration work. All necessary interventions (string changes, adjustments, planning, re-lamping, etc.) are estimated and detailed before signing the consignment contract, and then charged in addition to the commission when the equipment is sold.

Transaction Management
We manage all exchanges and questions with buyers, we forward their serious offers to you and get back to you to adjust the price if the equipment takes time to find a buyer. Once the sale is concluded, we ensure shipping under the best conditions, management of any returns, and the guarantee for the buyer, not to mention a secure and guaranteed payment for the seller. The amount of the sale is paid to you two weeks after the transaction, once the legal withdrawal period has expired.
Why choose The Shop?
In addition to our local expertise, Le Shop now attracts musicians and collectors from all over France and abroad, thanks to the visibility provided by our website, our Reverb shop, and our networks. We have already assisted in the sale and authentication of rare and collectible items, whether they are vintage guitars from the 50s, legendary tube amplifiers, or sought-after effects.
Entrusting your used guitars, basses, amplifiers, or effects to our team means benefiting from national recognition, an international network of buyers, and the unique opportunity to showcase your instruments in-store. Unlike impersonal online platforms, we allow musicians to try the equipment in a serious and relaxed setting before purchasing.

Sell with complete confidence
Entrusting your equipment to the Shop means choosing maximum visibility (store, website, Reverb, social networks), professional showcasing, and a secure sales environment. Unlike private listings, you save time, avoid unpleasant surprises, and sell to serious musicians.
Over the years, we have supported a wide variety of profiles: passionate or experienced musicians, beginners looking to upgrade, but also individuals who have inherited instruments or equipment and had no idea of their value or how to sell them. These sometimes sensitive situations require transparency and seriousness. In short, whether you are knowledgeable or not, we guarantee you a fair estimate and a sale under the best conditions.
