I have had to recover my old gear from my Mum's garage where it had been stored for 20+ years and reluctantly I intend to sell it. I have a Wurlitzer EP200 electronic piano (think Supertramp/Paul Weller) and a 1960s Livingstone Burge electric organ which sounds similar to a Vox Continental (think Ray Manzarek/Doors) - These played through a Fender Dual Reverb amp.

All the gear dates from the early 70s and the piano and amp in particular should be worth something, the organ, well it would be a shame to take it to the tip. It's all got a bit of "road-rash" because it was used twice a week for gigs but before selling it I will clean it, plug it all in, and give it a test to make sure it's all working as it used to.

I wondered if there's a market for vintage/retro stuff these days and where to look? Aside from eBay, where I can see adverts for pristine EP200s) I've no idea. Any thoughts?

Gumtree? That's where I'd try.

Is Gumtree likely to be more popular with musicians?

I and one of the other guitarists in my band have bought decent gear via ebay in the past, but with stuff that large your market is smaller as I assume you'll be looking for collection only.

Other option is the Gear Exchange type groups on Facebook. The amp would probably go well on the guitar exchanges for a start.

Thanks chaps, I guess the first thing is to set it all up and check it out, then do some investigation... smile

I bought a used Korg digital piano from someone in a vaguely famous band if that's any help?
