reSound, a groundbreaking marketplace dedicated to refurbished and pre-loved musical instruments, is proud to announce its innovative no-fee model for sellers. This allows musicians to sell their gear and upgrade to new instruments without incurring any sales fees. In contrast to platforms like Reverb, which takes an 8% commission plus fixed fees on each sale, reSound ensures that all earnings remain with the seller, enabling them to reinvest into their next musical purchase.
A Community-First Approach for Musicians
reSound has been designed with a modern, community-first ethos, aiming to support musicians rather than burden them with unnecessary costs. By eliminating sales fees, the platform allows musicians to retain more of their income, making it easier to upgrade their equipment and advance their craft. Whether it’s selling unused gear or finding pre-loved instruments, reSound provides a streamlined process that keeps musicians in control of their earnings.
Simplifying the Selling Experience
At reSound, the philosophy is simple: selling your musical gear should be both easy and profitable. Musicians can now offload their unused equipment and put the proceeds directly toward their dream instrument, without worrying about high platform fees. The no-fee structure empowers musicians to sell directly to buyers, ensuring that they receive 100% of the sale price.
Evan Michaels, CEO of reSound, explained the vision behind the platform: “Musicians deserve to keep all the money from selling their gear, without having to give away a portion to platform fees. reSound is built to support this idea, ensuring that musicians can put every penny toward their next musical purchase. Our goal is to foster a thriving community that keeps music alive and accessible.”
Fostering a Sustainable Marketplace
The platform’s fee-free model offers a clear contrast to the fee-heavy practices seen on other platforms like Reverb. By doing so, reSound is helping to create a more inclusive and sustainable marketplace where musicians can evolve their sound, upgrade their gear, and continue making music—all without sacrificing any part of their earnings.
Lee Alexander, Chief Revenue Officer of reSound, further elaborated: “Sellers on other platforms are limited by hefty fees, which can prevent them from reinvesting in their craft. At reSound, we’ve turned that model on its head. Musicians can now sell their unused gear, buy that instrument they’ve always dreamed of, and keep every penny they earn. It’s all about giving musicians more control over their sales and making music more accessible.”
Promoting Sustainability and the Circular Economy
In addition to empowering individual sellers, reSound is also committed to promoting sustainability within the music industry. By encouraging the reuse and resale of instruments, the platform supports the circular economy, helping ensure that musical gear doesn’t end up discarded or unused, but instead finds new homes where it can continue to make music.
As reSound opens its doors to individual sellers, musicians can now experience a platform that not only prioritises their financial success but also contributes to environmental sustainability. By giving instruments a second life, reSound helps musicians continue to create while playing a part in reducing waste.
