In Reply to: RE: Wont ship your gear (speakers)? Why bother listing them? posted by Justlisten2 on April 22, 2012 at 11:13:06:
The excessive cost of shipping large items is only one half of the equation. Have you noticed how carefully and secure gear is packed when it comes directly from the mfg?
Last year I sold a very expensive TT, arm and cartridge to an out of state buyer. Upon receiving the TT, the buyer reported that it had arrived severely damaged.
Fortunately, I had FedEx do the packaging while I observed and also took photos of it before it was shipped. The buyer, who payed for the packaging and shipping had the item fully insured, thank G-d.
I prefer not to ship a very heavy item because of the potential risks involved. When possible I prefer to have the buyer first see the component before finalizing the sale.
BTW, A'gon always lists the zip code of the items location.
As I had mentioned in an earlier post, I sold an expensive amp to a buyer in Arizona. The buyer had his wife drive to LA to pick it up. I would do the same for a very expensive piece of equipment. Why take a chance when spending Big $s.
Realize this would not be for everyone.
