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

In short: Manchester invented half of modern dance music — Factory Records, the Haçienda, acid house and everything Madchester left behind — so the city's full of gear with real history. We've bought Technics turntables, CDJs and hi-fi from Manchester sellers, and while we're a Yorkshire firm, the city's an easy next-day run over the Pennines — Northern Quarter and Ancoats out to Chorlton, Didsbury and Fallowfield. Free collection, scheduled to suit you, paid on exchange.

Typical local pickup

Technics SL-1210 MK2 (pair) — Northern Quarter, M4 — £820

A MK2 pair from a Northern Quarter loft — Haçienda-era kit, genuine lids, faders soft with use, no boxes. The seller had DJ'd through the Madchester years and was finally letting them go. Booked next-day over the M62; we carried them down and paid on exchange.

The Manchester scene

Why there's good gear round here

No British city has a bigger dance-music story. Factory Records and the Haçienda turned Manchester into the home of acid house and Madchester at the turn of the 1990s, and the line runs unbroken to the Warehouse Project selling out every winter now. Record shops like Eastern Bloc and Piccadilly keep the vinyl trade alive, the Northern Quarter is wall-to-wall DJs, and the universities round Fallowfield and Rusholme turn over students by the thousand. The upshot is a deep, constant supply of Technics and CDJs — heritage pairs from the Haçienda generation, and barely-used kit from graduates moving on.

Selling in Manchester — FAQ

Questions from sellers in Manchester

The things people round here actually ask before they sell.

You're a Yorkshire firm — do you actually collect in Manchester?
Yes. We're based in West Yorkshire but cover Greater Manchester on a next-day basis — it's a straight run over the M62. We'll agree a scheduled slot that suits you, collect free, and pay on exchange, exactly as we would on our home patch. Distance doesn't change the offer.
Is collection really free if you're coming over from Yorkshire?
Yes — collection is free wherever we travel from, and the Pennines don't change that. The trip is our cost to manage, not yours, so you get the same fair, market-led figure as a seller in Leeds or Sheffield. Nothing's deducted for the mileage.
How does collection work for a city-centre flat (M1) — it's loading-only round there?
It is in places round Piccadilly and the Northern Quarter, so we plan for it. Tell us the building and a couple of windows that work; we'll confirm a next-day slot, sort the loading, and carry the gear down ourselves so you're not blocking the road or hauling decks about.
I'm a student in Fallowfield (M14) moving out — can you work to my move-out date?
Yes, that's a common Manchester job for us. Give us the date and we'll book a next-day slot around it so the deck is sold and paid for before you leave the city. We carry it out of the shared house — no dragging a pair of decks down to a car.
Do you buy Haçienda-era and Madchester gear?
Love to. Old, heavily-gigged Technics and early CDJs from that era are exactly our thing. Worn faders, marked plinths, a dead target light, no boxes — none of it stops a sale. We quote on what the gear actually is and tell you plainly what's moving the figure.
Can you collect from Salford or MediaCityUK as well?
Yes — Salford and MediaCityUK are part of the same Greater Manchester run for us. Same next-day scheduling, same free collection; just give us the postcode and any access details (gated parking, a buzzer, a loading bay) and we'll sort the slot.
I've got hi-fi separates in Didsbury or Chorlton — do you cover those?
Yes, south Manchester is where a lot of separates surface. Amps, CD players and audiophile turntables — Marantz, Rega, Naim and the like — send the model and condition for a figure, then we'll arrange a next-day collection from Didsbury, Chorlton or Withington to suit you.
