Avoid the risk and let me promote and sell your instrument on a fully insured commission basis. I'm happy to advise initially and do not charge to evaluate the instrument. The commission rates are highly competitive with zero VAT to pay.

I occasionally buy instruments directly from customers. Please get in touch with your requirements.
