Fretboard Jungle take pride in offering easy, trustworthy and professional solutions to appraise and/or manage the sale your instrument.
1) Contact us, either by email, phone or contact form. Tell us what you have, and we can discuss options for you.
2) Arrange a meeting for initial assessment of the instrument. We can come to you!
3) If you are happy, you sign the consignment agreement and we take the instrument
4) We conduct an in depth and thorough inspection and appraisal of the instrument
5) We will contact you with the full assessment and appraisal. If you are happy, we will then take professional photography, write a detailed description and advertise your instrument online using a number of platforms.
6) Once the instrument has been sold, you will be paid 82% of the sale price. This will be transferred 7 days after the new owner has received the instrument.
Simple as that!
We do not have a store front! In order to protect the vintage guitars in stock, arrangements to play instruments or deliver items to sell are by appointment only. Please drop us a line, we're happy to answer your questions! Click here
Once an instrument has been received by us, we will thoroughly examine the condition of the instrument and research an appropriate listing price. If a listing price is mutually agreed upon, we will create a listing with professional photographs, detailed description and a often a video for YouTube. Stolen, fraudulent or misleading consignment items cannot be listed by this business.
A commission rate of 18% of the purchase price is processed upon sale of the items. This covers storage, professional photography, detailed descriptions, handling, inquiries, domestic shipping, and, on occasion, a demonstration of the item on our YouTube channel. Minimum fee for each consignment sold is $250 aka 18% of $1389.
The consignment agreement is for 6 months. You are encouraged to share the Item/Items using our links and photographs, however the sale will be exclusively handled by Fretboard Jungle.
Items are stored in a secure facility with alarms and CCTV monitoring, and they are insured during their stay (coverage included in the consignment fee). For added peace of mind, consider securing your own insurance policy. You may also be interested in registering ownership of your instrument on the Australian Government's Personal Property Securities Register https://www.ppsr.gov.au/.
If an item hasn't sold within 2 months, we may suggest a discounted price to attract more interest. Our standard consignment period is 6 months, during which we exclusively manage the sale. If your item hasn't sold by the end of this period, you have the option to renew or retrieve it.
Payments are processed directly into your designated bank account within 7 days after a brief 7-day cooling off period post-receipt of the item(s). For detailed terms and conditions, please refer to our full policy here.
We value your trust and are here to assist you every step of the way. For any inquiries or to get started, please reach out to us via the contact form below. We'll respond promptly – looking forward to hearing from you!
