SELL OR CONSIGN
Offer your Pioneer
Do you have vintage Pioneer equipment you would like to sell? There are two options: the club buys the unit from you, or we help you find another enthusiast for it. Either way, we first take a look at what you have.

Not sure which suits you best? Just say so. We are happy to think along.
What we are looking for
We focus exclusively on Pioneer. The emphasis is on equipment from the 1980s, along with the finest models from the 1970s: amplifiers, receivers, tuners, cassette decks, open-reel recorders, turntables, equalisers and loudspeakers. Under Product series you can see which series and models that covers.
Not sure whether your unit qualifies? Send it in anyway. You will always get an honest answer.
How it works
01
You send us the details
Model, condition and a few photos, using the form on this page.
02
We look at your offer
We look at the model, the version and the condition, and whether it fits the collection.
03
We get in touch
With a proposal for purchase or consignment, or with the honest message that it is not a fit.
04
We make an appointment
We arrange drop-off or collection together. Shipping is only possible by agreement; not every unit is suited to it.
What we would like to know
The more you tell us, the better we can judge what you have.
- The exact model number. You will find it on the front panel and on the rating plate at the rear.
- Whether the unit works. Also if it does not, only partly does, or if you do not know.
- The condition. Scratches, dents, missing knobs, crackling switches.
- What has been done to it. Repairs, replaced parts or modifications, as far as you know.
- What comes with it. Manual, box, remote control, dust cover, wooden cabinet or rack parts.
Photos that help us
Take photos in daylight, without flash. A front view, the rear panel with connections, the rating plate and a close-up of any damage. Switch the unit on if you can, so the lighting and meters are visible.
Good to know
Our first response is based on your description and photos. We only make final arrangements once we have seen the unit itself. Offering a unit is without obligation.
Everything the club offers is checked and serviced first. That is why the condition in which a unit arrives affects what we can offer.

Frequently asked questions about selling and consignment
What is my Pioneer worth?
That depends on the model, the version, the technical and cosmetic condition, the service history and what comes with it. A model name alone says little, and asking prices online are not the same as what is actually paid.
Does my unit have to work?
Not necessarily. Do tell us honestly what you know, so we can judge what is possible.
Do you take other brands as well?
No. The club focuses exclusively on Pioneer.
What is the difference between selling and consignment?
With a sale, the club buys the unit from you. With consignment, we help find another enthusiast. We discuss which route suits best after the assessment.
What does consignment cost?
We discuss the terms with you in advance, so you know where you stand before you decide anything.
Do I have to ship the unit?
No. We arrange drop-off or collection together. We only ship by agreement.
I have a complete system or a collection. Is that possible too?
Yes. Fill in the form for the main unit and mention the rest under details.
Am I committed to anything if I offer a unit?
No. Offering a unit is without obligation.
