eddiepiano Does anyone know how to sell/transfer a Pianoteq license?
I'm not interested, but here are some thoughts.
IIRC, in your online account there should be a "transfer" button for doing so. Log in and check if that's the case, or contact support if you don't find it.
On the Modartt and KIVR forums you will find many more interested people than you would here -- or are you hoping to convince MacMacMac to purchase your license? 🤣
For setting the price, consider that you'll have to pay a 30 euro license transfer fee and that instrument packs cannot be separated from the rest - important point considering the following issues.
Putting yourself in the buyer's shoes, keep in mind that such person will be unable to make further transfers and will not get any free upgrades to version 8 which is starting to be expected/rumored (however they can buy it for $40).
Also, unless you find someone who wants EXACTLY the instrument packs you selected (which, given the combinatorial explosions of possibilities has basically zero probability of happening), consider that they can likely purchase what they want for less than you paid yours.
Finally, there is the summer sale ongoing, so your resale price should/would be need to be further 20% down. If you can wait for September or early October (but not November, when there will be the Black Friday sale), you might be able to find a buyer willing to pay a bit more.
All of this to just to say: be patient and don't expect to get a lot of money back from the sale, especially if you need it sooner rather than later.
Let me make same estimates (in dollars):
Standard: $300
4 extra packs at 47 dollars each
Total if bought new: $488
Because of the sale, if one would buy exactly this today, that person would take Pro at $359 and 3 instrument packs for half a grand. which is just 12 bucks more than your setup as priced above. As such, you'd need to discount you by the price of the upgrade to pro.
So a reasonable "break even" for somebody considering your bundle would be 488 (regular price) - 120 (upgrade to pro) + 12 (actual price difference) - 40 (upgrade to version 8 which would be free if bought new) = $340. That means that if I were buying your bundle, I'd need a discount from this price to justify 1) the hassle of buying from a private rather than a company, 2) the fact that my purchase is now not-for-resale, so I'll be stuck with it forever
I am a tough negotiator, so if I were interested I'd offer you 340/2=170 and I admit that I would accept to pay up to $200 and at most covering also the license fee for you (i.e. giving you further 30 euros). Many sellers would refuse such offer and I'd be fine with it.
Others buyers may obviously be less tough negotiators and offer you more, but I doubt anybody will go above $300
Hope this helps and best of luck!
