Sometimes its about marketing....

I had a spare tonearm that I wasn't even thinking of selling until I saw one on AgoN. It was priced about right, but the seller wanted $35 for shipping (seems a bit much for an item that can be mailed) and 4% for PayPal. Two strikes against him in the eyes of a buyer.

So, I listed mine for $50 more than the price of his, but with FREE SHIPPING and NO FEE FOR PAYPAL !!!

Mine sold in 30 minutes.

Sometimes its not about the money ...its about feeling you were treated well and given a good deal ...even if it costs extra.

Personally, I like in-person deals. The buyer gets to check the stuff out, gets to listen to it, I get cash and we both get to talk audio for however long the buyer can tolerate me. "geraldm121" and I can easily kill an hour every time we do a deal.

reelsmith's axiom: Its going to be used equipment when I sell it, so it may as well be used equipment when I buy it.
