Reasonable price for a 2nd hand NS 2EX-88

Hi guys,

I'm thinking of selling my Nord Stage 2Ex 88 which is in a mint condition, including the Nord Soft Case and the triple pedal. I'm not sure at which price it should be offered, what do you think would be a reasonable price level for this (please only serious/realistic answers ;) )

Thx!

Hi Schorsch,

I think you should make a survey on the most popular German site where people sell musical instruments (that's what I personally do when selling, using an Italian site which is specific for that business) and/or on Reverb (if you think to sell it internationally).

In Italy I have seen prices swinging between 1.600-2.200€ depending on age, condition and... hurry of the seller ;)

Hi Max,

I did look at the usual German 2nd hand platforms already but you see only at which price people are offering their instruments, not at which price these are really been sold at ... that's why I was asking at which price people would be agree to buy it in reality.

Well same here, so I usually I filter the extreme values and announcements standing there for too long; anyway I gave you a range (at least from my country point of view) and of course lower sells easier; imo your case could be in the range 1800-2000 (but each country is different, cost of life changes and so prices people are willing or can pay)

I agree with Max, don't care for ads with extreme prices and take an average of the most common "reasonable" prices.
In Italy the price is around 1800-2000, can be a bit more with your included accessories which are not cheap.
I recently sold my NS2EX 88 (with no accessories) for 2000€ which was exactly the price I was aiming at, after a couple of months of listing.

In general, I list my sales at an honest price and then allow a small discount (5-10% and/or free shipping) if the buyer is nice, reasonable and/or we can arrange a meeting for in-person trial and collection.

Take plenty of good photos, be honest with any defect however tiny, be nice and communicative (which can be hard with certain buyers who are only trying to rip you off) and be ready to provide more photos,videos etc. If you're not in a hurry because you need the money, take your time. You may skip the first few buyers, but eventually you will find a nice deal that satisfies everyone.
Nords are always in demand, the NS2/2EX is maybe their most successful model ever, and you will surely find a good buyer!

There's one listed on the most common Norewgian 2hand channel, the listed price is 2000 Euro.
As far as I can remember, this is also in the range of what the marked her is willing to pay; 1800 - 2300 Euros.
The listed NS2ex is without soft case, and also no triple pedal.

Case, triple pedal and "ex" version is quite a plus and needs to be clearly highlighted in the add.
French market (for standard Stage 2) oscillates between 1600-2200 euros.
I'd say your gear is worth minimum 2000 euros.

Just a thought, you might do better selling your triple pedal separately.

Thank you all!

@WannitBBBad I think you’re right, will offer it separately
