Acclimatization

I will take back in trade for up to 80% of the original sale price (sales tax not included) any instrument or bow I sold, after three years of ownership, WHICH WAS OWNED BY GOODRICH VIOLIN SHOP and is being traded in on an instrument or bow CURRENTLY OWNED BY GOODRICH VIOLIN SHOP. I have chosen this type of TRADE IN POLICY to simplify the problem of who pays at trade-in time for the NORMAL wear and tear that occurs to instruments and bows throughout their life when in use. Any SIGNIFICANT damage or wear and tear will be deducted from the trade-in value.

I will take back in trade instruments or bows I have sold which were on consignment here at Goodrich Violin Shop. Each case will be handled separately. I will also take back in trade an instrument or bow that was sold here while on consignment for another instrument or bow currently on consignment. Here again, each case will be handled separately and the 80% trade-in value cannot be guaranteed.

I do occasionally take in trade certain instruments and bows that I did not sell. Each instrument or bow will be considered individually. In order to determine the current value and condition of a particular instrument or bow I must have the item in my hands. I CANNOT GIVE EVEN 'BALLPARK' ESTIMATES OVER THE PHONE. Please call for an appointment.
