Selling Folkcraft CSH 20141645 Dulcimer

Ryan, there are a lot of platforms that you can use to sell this. As a person who has purchased more than a few dulcimers on line (because I live in Alaska), and who has sold a few as well, here's what I would do: First, I'd go on eBay and do a search of dulcimers, and you might narrow the search to Folkcraft dulcimers. There won't be a lot of Folkcrafts for sale here, but it might help you to see what others are asking for their instruments. Remember that what they are asking and what they are getting can be two different things. You can post your dulcimer there too, but know that eBay charges a commission. However, it is a nation-wide audience. Posting the label and maybe a recording of you playing it with a date stamp can dispel any concerns about fraud. Plus photos showing no damage, or documenting any damage there may be. You might post it on your local Facebook marketplace and/or craigslist as well. Saves any shipping if someone local buys it. You might also search Facebook for any local dulcimer groups. In your area there should be several, and you could let them know you have a nice dulcimer for sale. Also, you can search Facebook dulcimer groups. There will be several, and usually you have to ask to join the group, and each group will have specific criteria for posting instruments. But it will be a targeted audience of dulcimer lovers. Another Facebook group is Playable Strings Marketplace. Again, usually, you'll need good pictures of the dulcimer showing no cracks or other serious problems, plus a video of it being played. Best of luck! You are in the heart of mountain dulcimer country so you should find a market for it. Hope these ideas help.
