Welcome to our harp ads section! If you are looking for a harp or harp merchandise to buy, sell, or rent,, take a look at the offerings below. If you are in the Pacific Northwest and have a harp that needs a new home, contact us at news@reigningharps.com for ad submission guidelines. New Policy: Despite asking that buyers and sellers report when harps sell, we have a number of ads that have been languishing on the site for a long time. In the few months, we'll attempt to contact everyone with an ad over 6 months old and will remove those that cannot be verified and updated. You are quite welcome to have an ad on the site as long as necessary, but it will need to be re-submitted every six months. That way, we can be sure the ads are current! (Sellers Beware! Some people with harps for sale on this site have been contacted by internet scam artists... the story is usually something about selling the harp to a distant buyer, accepting an international money order or cashier's check, or delivering the harp to the buyer's "agent"... sometimes the seller is asked to accept a money order for more than the selling price and return the "change" along with the harp. The money order turns out to be bogus, and the harp and "change" are long gone! It's wise to ignore queries from unverifiable buyers.) HARPS WANTED Wanted: Small inexpensive harp for toddler to play while mama practices on the big harp. It would be best if it is already somewhat banged up and/or not a quality harp.
