Turn Your Old Gear Into New Inspiration

Whether you're clearing out space or upgrading your sound, Roxy Music makes it easy to turn used gear into something new. We buy, trade, and consign guitars, amps, pedals, and more — right here in La Porte, Indiana. No shipping, no strangers, no hassle. Just walk in and walk out with cash, store credit, or the confidence that your gear is in good hands.

How It Works

1. Bring It In: Stop by our La Porte showroom at 1012 Lincolnway — no appointment needed.
2. Free Evaluation: Our team inspects your instrument, checks current market values, and walks you through every option — transparently and without pressure.
3. Choose Your Path: Sell it outright for cash, trade it toward something new, or consign it and let us handle the rest.
4. Walk Out Happy: With cash in hand, store credit toward your next instrument, or the peace of mind that your gear is being handled by professionals.

What We Offer

• Cash Offers: We start at 50% of current resale value for most guitars, amps, and gear. Offers are based on real market data — not guesswork.
• Trade-In Credit: Upgrade your gear and receive 60% of resale value as store credit toward anything in our showroom.
• Consignment Program: Let us do the work — photography, setup, listings, and shipping. You receive 70% of the final sale price once your item sells, with zero effort on your end.

Our Used & Vintage Fund

We don't just dabble in used gear — we're committed to building a serious used and vintage program here in Northwest Indiana. Roxy Music maintains a dedicated fund specifically for purchasing quality used instruments, and we're actively growing it. Right now we're positioned to make immediate cash offers on instruments priced under $1,000 — no waiting, no "we'll think about it."

For higher-value vintage and boutique pieces, we're always interested in talking. If the timing isn't right for an outright purchase, our consignment program puts your instrument in front of serious buyers while you wait for the right offer. Either way, we're here for the long haul — and so is our commitment to used and vintage gear.

We Get It — It's Personal

Selling your gear isn't always easy. It might be something you've played on stage, practiced with for years, or saved up for during a tough season. So when the resale value doesn't match what you hoped for, we understand — it can feel frustrating.

That's why we take the time to walk you through our entire process. We'll show you how we evaluate gear using real market data, explain how condition and demand affect pricing, and be completely transparent about what we cover on our end. No pressure. No push. Just honesty, respect, and a process that puts people first.
