Musical Instruments
Unless you’re in a band or you’re jamming solo in your garage, why are you holding on to old instruments? Those that you play regularly or that you have a strong connection to, obviously, get to stay. But a lot of seniors hold on to old instruments they haven’t used in years, with no intention of picking them back up.
First, a quick google search should give you an idea of how much they’re worth. Then, head to a local pawn shop or sell them on well-known online marketplaces such as Reverb.
Some musical instruments could sell for thousands of dollars, so why not?

I have old record albums from the ’40’s, 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s. Where can I find out their value, and where can I sell them?
Unless they are in VERY good condition, i.e. not played, let alone played to death like I know my albums were, the value is very little. Find an independent record store in your area (bingoole it) and ask them, bring them a list.
Not very impressed with this article. Author seems to think we all move into a 500 square foot apartment. The last thing I will be getting rid of is my musical instruments and favorite old music, my treadmill, my gardening equipment, etc. Why not just write an article titled “how to host an estate sale and sell off everything you own.”
Luanne – I tend to agree with you. This article should read what to sell when you have to move into assisted living….
Ebay is a great place to sell old albums, you set any price you want!
