What we do

Most buyers make you ship first. We pay first.

Nearly every other place makes you box up your gear, ship it off, and then wait to find out what they'll really pay. We do the opposite: we make you a firm offer and get the money to you up front, before your equipment ever leaves your hands.

Local sellers

Clearing out a whole studio? Try our hybrid sale.

Our hybrid sale gives local sellers the convenience of an auction with the cash flow of an instant sale. We buy your major equipment outright and pay you within days. For everything else, we coordinate with one of our local auction partners, who collect, catalog, and sell the rest at their quarterly auction. It is cash in hand now, without the hassle of meeting a dozen different buyers to clear out your space.

Why sell to us

A better deal, and a lot less risk.

We've been buying gear and paying sellers first since 2009. Here's what that means for you.

Privacy, terms & disclosures

Privacy. Monkee Deals collects only the details you enter in the offer form (your name, email, phone number, and a description of your gear) and uses them solely to respond to your request and prepare an offer.

Your form submission is delivered to us through FormSubmit, a third-party form service that transmits your message to our inbox. We don't sell or share your personal information, and this site runs no advertising or tracking cookies and no analytics. We keep what you send only as long as we need it to handle your inquiry.

If you're a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we hold about you and to ask us to correct or delete it. To make a request, or to ask anything about how we handle your data, email Sales@monkeedeals.com.

Offers & terms. Offers are based on the make, model, and condition you provide. As long as your gear matches that description and arrives in normal working order, your offer stands; if an item differs materially from what was described, we may revise or decline the offer. Payment and a prepaid shipping label are provided once you accept. This is an interim site, and nothing here is a binding contract until an offer is made and accepted.

Trademarks. All product names, logos, and brands shown are the property of their respective owners and are used for identification only. Their use does not imply any affiliation with, or endorsement by, those owners.

A fuller privacy policy and terms will accompany our new site.
