Hey everyone. I'm looking to sell my Yamaha 385 open hole flute. I know that model isn't made anymore, I was just wondering if you all thought I would have any luck trying to sell it and if so, if anyone had any suggestions about where to advertise.
Thanks

Yes, you can definately sell it. Try usedflutes.com but use a throwaway address because of email spam. Or someone on this forum might want it.
Can you describe it more? Condition? Age? Asking price?

I just sold my Yamaha 385II with a B foot. I had it advertised everywhere.
What worked for me is telling my flute teacher that I was selling it. She had some students that wanted to step up to an open hole flute. The flute was in top condition and I just had it serviced. I got top dollar. I also allowed the prospective buyer to try it before he bought it. That was a case of nerves. Nothing compares to letting a teenage boy test play your flute. I was on edge and praying that he didn't drop it or ding it.
Went wonderfully. I got lucky and got $550 for it.
Try flute teachers or Flute clubs.
Good luck

Thanks so much!!
Like I said, silver Yamaha 385 open hole, in-line g flute. I don't know of the exact age...it was a few years old when I bought it in high school (I'll be graduating from college next year). It was my second flute and a great step up from my beginner's model. It has been played very very lightly over the last several years. It's in good condition, I love this flute and have done my best to keep in in good condition. There is a small, barely noticeable ding on the head of the flute. This model is no longer made and it's been priced between $400-$500. I would like $450 for it, but I'm definitely willing to negotiate. I really want someone who loves playing and wants to learn to have this flute. It was a great flute for me!
