How it works

It’s quite simple:

The Dealers Collective works by letting you purchase specific instruments from other certified dealers and builders on Vintage & Rare, at a discounted price, and sell these instruments to your own customers with a mark-up.

Likewise, you can make your own instruments and products available to other dealers and builders on Vintage & Rare, and determine the price that you are willing to sell them for. Other dealers will then sell your instruments to their customers for you.
