reSound: A curated marketplace for pre-loved music gear
A curated Sharetribe marketplace where verified sellers list refurbished instruments, with advanced profiles, price negotiation, and a buying experience built for musicians.
The idea
reSound is a UK-based marketplace for refurbished and pre-loved musical instruments, founded by musicians with expertise in technology, music retail, and sustainability. The pre-loved music market is fragmented, with rare finds scattered across classifieds, forums, and local shops with no trust signals. reSound unifies it with a curated platform where only verified businesses can create listings.
What we built
We worked closely with the reSound team to develop a feature-rich marketplace with several custom developments.
- Verified listings Listing creation limited to verified businesses, ensuring products meet high standards of quality
- Advanced user profiles Profiles that can be shared on social platforms, enhancing engagement and visibility
- Price negotiation Price negotiation between users until a deal is accepted and paid
- Enhanced discovery Similar listings, wishlists, trending listings, and browsing history
- Advanced monetization Fees from both customers and providers, plus a flat fee option
- Flexible transactions Manual or automatic order acceptance, chosen by sellers
- Embedded forms Contact and listing submission forms embedded for easy access
The result
Launched fast and built to a high standard. reSound now connects verified sellers with musicians across the UK and gives idle instruments a trusted home instead of leaving them to gather dust. The partnership continues, with new features shipping regularly. See it live at resound.market
