Selling old drum kit

Hello everyone!
COuld anybody offer me any advice on selling my old drum kit. I've played it about once a week/fortnight during the last 4/5 years, so it's not mark free.
I've no idea where to sell it. I looked into using eBay, but I don't have an account and wouldn't want to sell it by post.
Please Help!:)

    What brand of kit is it Rosie?

    I just had a quick look on Ebay and they sell for anything from £20 to £1000 depending on exactly what it is.

    Where abouts are you? maybee someone you know could sell it on Ebay for you.

    You could try Gumtree or other local small ads

    Sorry I'm not allowed to post links, but typing into a search engine finds it - ' premier oylmic rock' - it is wine red. It cost £250 new, and that was special offer.
    Thanks :)

    My daughter sold hers on Gumtree, really quickly. Nobody on ebay wanted it.

    What kind of drum kit was it - how much did you buy/sell it for? (sorry if that's cheeky)

    I can't remember, it was similar to the one you're selling but blue & she got about £100ish, it was probably over a year ago.
    With Gumtree no fees or faffing & worrying about it getting to the buyer without damage.

    There are lots of free sites, I'd stick it on all of them & add a few quid on top of what you would like.
    Freeads, adtrader, Loot, Friday ads, Preloved,,as well as gumtree are ones I can think of off the top of my head. Your local paper may do them free as well.

    Rosie, as a drummer and regular on EBay here's my twopennoth;
    Try Gumtree as mentioned. If you do use EBay do pick up only. On average it costs £50 to post a kit and its a lot of effort, only practical on a more expensive kit.

    I always mean to put on a few more £ to the price, but always forget. I'm such a pushover aswell. I sold a violin once. Put it on for £50, accepted £20!
    Must not give in again...
    but they get you with the 'I've got to buy my other 6 children a xmas present and I've got no money!'
