Where to sell second hand music instruments in Berlin?
This is the first time I have this experience I cannot sell something and I started to wonder if there could be some peculiarities for the second hand market for music instruments.
Thanks in advance for any ideas or tips 🙌
honestly at this point i'd try reverb's local pickup option, it's what a lot of berlin musicians use when kleinanzeigen fails you. you can set the listing to "pickup only" and filter by berlin, plus the buyer pays through the platform so no cash hassle. also might be worth hitting up the schwarze halle in neukölln on a saturday, they have a flea market section where people sell gear directly and you just pay a small fee for a table.
Have you tried giving it to a local music shop on commission? Places like Just Music or Session Music in Kreuzberg will often sell used gear for you and take a cut, way less hassle than dealing with flakes on Kleinanzeigen.
if you're open to a bit of a gamble, try posting on the berlin musician facebook groups instead of marketplace. there's one called "berlin musicians wanted" and another "second hand music gear berlin" - way less bots than kleinanzeigen, people actually show up. also check out the notice board at sound & music in friedrichshain, they let you pin a flyer for free and a lot of local teachers browse there. worst case hit up a rehearsal space like üben üben in wedding and ask if they know anyone looking for a cheap guitar, the staff usually knows the regulars
What is the correct spelling for a street name that appears differently on multiple signs in Charlottenburg?
Worth noting that Berlin street names have official umlaut and ß rules that trip people up, so a sign showing "Strasse" versus "Straße" is not actually a spelling error, just an older transcription. Same with "ue" versus "ü" (e.g. "Kantstrasse" vs "Kantstraße"), both are considered valid renderings and you'll see the ß version on the blue Schilder and the ss version on older plaques or in databases that predate Unicode. If the difference you're seeing is between those two forms, there's nothing to fix and both are technically correct.
if the signs u mean are the old enamel ones on the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated. the binding version is whatever is in the Berliner Strassenverzeichnis plus the entry in the Liegenschaftskataster, so if u tell me the street i can point u to the right Bezirksamt Mitte or Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf page. tbh the merged district thing is real but the facade signs are a separate story, theyre basically museum pieces at this point
honestly thats super common in Charlottenburg, the district offices were merged from older Bezirke and nobody ever fixed all the Schilder. if its a real street you can check the official strassenverzeichnis on berlin.de, that list is what the Burgeramt actually goes by. which street is it? some of the Kaiserdamm / Kantstrasse signs are notorious for this.
