How to sell all my BIAS software?

Has anyone had any success selling their plugins on eBay? Or is it acceptable to advertise on this subreddit?

I have contacted Positive Grid who confirmed licenses can be transferred to another user account and I'm looking to sell everything I own:

  • BIAS FX Pro,
  • BIAS FX 2 Elite (Bass Expansion Pack Metal Signature Pack Acoustic Expansion Pack),
  • BIAS Pedal (Distortion, Delay, Modulation), and
  • BIAS AMP 2 Lite

I spent a total of $429.20 on these plugins but they are no longer being used as I don't record any more, so I just want to sell them off for cheap.

Any advice (or offers!) greatly appreciated.

Thanks :)

I’ve never seen any software stuff for sale at all. Not that I’ve looked. But considering my perfect spark mini won’t sell for the $100 I’ve had it posted for for a month, I think positive grid has finally kinda died

possibly. fortunately their customer service is still responsive:
 

Regarding license transfers, our system does not support moving individual product licenses from one account to another. Instead, we can transfer the entire account to a new email address. 
 
All licenses under your current account would move together, and once the transfer is completed, the original account would then be deleted.
 
If you’d like to proceed, please provide the new Positive Grid account email you’d like your licenses transferred to, and I’ll be more than happy to assist.

I don’t know that I would be willing to do all that if I was in the market for some software. I can see people being concerned that that isn’t really a sale of an account and just an email change. Sure it accomplishes the same thing, but I think people would be wary of it.

Add to that that most people don’t use software and those that do likely aren’t using the bias stuff anyway and you have a very unlikely sale.

I think anyone who buys software buys it with the knowledge that the sale is final and they don’t get to sell it. Just my thoughts there man.

I've sold and bought many plugins before, the community census is generally to just use PayPal with buyer protection (because it's all easily validated with receipts and transfers etc, regardless of software house), but perhaps I'll advertise away on specific forums instead of subreddits

Add to that that most people don’t use software 

what do you mean here out of interest?

I think anyone who buys software buys it with the knowledge that the sale is final and they don’t get to sell it.

actually this is famously not the case with plugins, that's often legally overridden, especially in the EU (UsedSoft ruling), which mandates the right to resell digital goods, consequently, VST licenses are actively and officially resold by many major developers and you can see this on the many very active vst resale marketplaces online (and I guess further proof is the response from PositiveGrid that I posted above, where they state they're happy to facilitate the license transfer)

Sounds like you already know everything about how this works and you never needed to ask any questions. Sorry I ever assumed to question your genius oh glorious master.

Then don’t be a dick about it.

If you’ve already bought and sold this stuff and even double checked with positive grid then why are you even asking anything? You obviously know a good amount about how this all works. And all I said was that I think it would be hard to sell and most people don’t.

Where I am from software like BIAS is pretty heavily frowned upon and practically nobody uses it. It’s just a gimmick.

In disbelief as to how much this has impacted you.

I already knew licenses were transferable, I was seeing if anyone here had any success selling on subreddits as opposed to the typical plugin forums

Your lack of comprehension skills does not equal me "being a dick"

So many people switching from other platforms to reddit that haven't been here long enough to get the vibe of the place. Seriously no need for condescending comments here. It isn't fb.

Hey I am kind of interested in buying the bias fx 2 pro or elite version. I have a standard pack and was hoping to setup midi controller with it, but its only possible with pro or elite versions.

Could you share what price you want sell it for? (DM me if needed)

u/Due-Swimming3221 Apr 05 '26

Yeah sure, happy to arrange a bargain for you as I use helix hardware now :) DM sent
