Selling one on

Real synths (Korg, Roland, Moog, Novation, Arturia, Nord) sell very fast. Home arranger keyboards (Yamaha PSR, Casio CT) are slow and low-margin unless free.

Boxable up to 61 keys; 76/88 key units are collection or expensive courier.

Where this price comes from

This is the range the flipper extension uses for a used Elektron Digitakt in working order in the UK. It is a starting point, not a quote: condition, extras, the original box and where you are all move the price, and faulty ones sell for much less.

On a live Marketplace listing, flipper checks that range against real sold prices and live eBay listings for the exact model, works out your profit after fees and flags faults the seller mentions. It is free while in testing. Join the testers.
