Sell your DJ gear, hi-fi & turntables in Birmingham.

In short: Birmingham gave the world heavy metal and the UK's biggest bhangra scene, and these days Digbeth's warehouses are packed with sound systems and decks. We buy Technics, CDJs and hi-fi from sellers across the second city — it's a long way from our West Yorkshire base, but next-day down the M1 and M42 is no trouble, and the free collection and the offer don't change for the distance. From the Jewellery Quarter and Digbeth out to Moseley, Kings Heath and Selly Oak. Paid on exchange, a slot to suit you.

Typical local pickup

Technics SL-1210 MK2 (pair) — Moseley, B13 — £800

A MK2 pair from a Moseley DJ who'd worked the bhangra and reggae circuit for years — genuine lids, well-used faders, no boxes, a spare headshell. Booked a next-day slot down the M1; carried out and paid by transfer at the door.

The Birmingham scene

Why there's good gear round here

Few cities have a broader musical base. Birmingham is the birthplace of heavy metal — Black Sabbath came out of Aston — and the home of British bhangra, with a reggae lineage through UB40 and Steel Pulse on top. The modern story is Digbeth: a warehouse-and-railway-arch district that's become the city's creative quarter, full of sound systems, promoters and DJs. Add three universities and the student churn round Selly Oak and Edgbaston, and the city turns over a huge amount of gear — heritage Technics from the bhangra and reggae years, and barely-used kit from graduates moving on.

Selling in Birmingham — FAQ

Questions from sellers in Birmingham

The things people round here actually ask before they sell.

Does Birmingham's Clean Air Zone add a charge to my collection?
Not to you. Birmingham's Clean Air Zone is one of the few that can charge older private cars as well as commercial vehicles in the city centre — but it's our cost to manage, not yours. We use a compliant vehicle or absorb the charge, and it never appears on your offer.
Birmingham's enormous — do you actually cover the whole city?
All of it. The centre, the southern belt through Moseley, Kings Heath and Bournville, across to Handsworth and Erdington, down to Selly Oak. We route a Birmingham day around several stops, so wherever you sit in the B postcodes we'll reach you.
The Jewellery Quarter's all narrow streets and workshops — can you still collect there?
Yes — we know the JQ grid. We'll set a loading window, pull up close, and bring the decks out to the van ourselves so nothing's left double-parked or hauled half a street.
Do you reach the Black Country — Smethwick, West Brom, Wolverhampton way?
We do; the Black Country folds into the same trip as the city. Flag the town and the model and we'll tell you the slot — it rarely adds more than a little time onto a Birmingham day.
I'm breaking up a full sound-system setup — decks, mixer, flight cases. Job lot?
Happily. We'll value the decks, CDJs, mixer and cases as one and take them together. PA speakers aren't really our trade, but say what's there and we'll be straight about what we can include.
Is a single deck even worth you driving down from Yorkshire?
It is. A Birmingham day is built from several bookings, so one SL-1200 still gets free collection at no premium — we don't run minimums and we don't dock the figure for the miles.
Does a genuine box make much difference to a Technics quote down here?
As much as anywhere. Original packaging and paperwork lift the figure, most of all on Grand Class and the limited editions — photograph the box and the serial badge and we'll work it into the offer.
