CE Inc Professional Saxophone Consignment
In our opinion, there is no better way to get market value for your saxophone or any musical instrument (trumpet, trombone, flute, clarinet, guitar, etc) than to sell it on consignment with a professional seller of musical instruments. If you are willing to wait on your price and aren’t looking for an immediate sale, consignment is the way to go.

CE Inc maintains connections with some of the world’s premier buyers of rare musical instruments, as well as having the marketing experience to present your items to thousands of real buyers every month. Our reputation as being a leading musical instrument reseller gives the buyer the confidence to know that they are getting exactly what they paid for.
If you’ve ever tried to sell a saxophone through Craigslist, eBay, the newspaper, or any typical method, there is a good chance that the transaction didn’t go as smooth as you wanted, or that you just couldn’t meet the expectations of the buyer. As a company who has been collectively buying and selling instruments for several years, we still deal daily with the ups and downs of instrument sales.
Some sellers when presented with the ‘fee’ for consigning a musical instrument automatically reject the notion of selling on consignment because they often this that amount would be money in their pocket. Now we are not discounting the fact that it could be extra money in your pocket, but because of our own experiences, and also because we have met many sellers who have tried to sell their own instrument, that this is not usually the case.
We recently were contacted by an original owner of a Selmer Mark VI Tenor saxophone, all original condition, rarely played. His story was that he purchased the sax in the 60’s with the intentions of learning how to play. However, after giving up the idea of playing it, 40+ years later he decides it is time to sell. After listing the item several times on eBay and Craigslist, he wasn’t able to sell the item on his own.
His son in law contacted us because he had heard great things about our company and thought that his dad should use us to sell his instrument, so he arranged a phone meeting. Through our conversation, we learned that the seller was less than 100 miles away, and he decided to make a trip to Ft Myers in person with his super rare Selmer Mark VI Tenor Saxophone. After verifying the condition and originality of the horn, we have him some estimates on what we feel the saxophone would sell for. Keep in mind his original asking price was within the range of what we thought the market would bring on this saxophone.
In less than 30 days, we were able to find a buyer for his prized Selmer Mark VI tenor saxophone, who is absolutely thrilled with his purchase, and the seller was able to make nearly as much as he originally wanted (before fees), without all of the headaches (and high fees) of selling the item himself. It was a win-win-win situation for the seller (he ended up getting more in the end had he sold it on his own), for the buyer (he really got a rare item and a good price on it), and for us, because we not only retained the consignment fee for our services, but we were able to show another client that consignment is the way to go when selling saxophones or other musical instruments.
