Do people really just not get it that their items are not selling...


simply because they are over priced?

From different posters & my response""Also, who is to say something is "overpriced"
By definition the market. If you're having trouble selling it the market has authoritatively spoken.   If you don't like it you're not entitled to say it's not somehow overpriced.

"If you got good schitt they will sell."
Yes, it will, usually (modified by locality & sane pricing).  The market again.

" refused several OK offers on the other 2 but don't mind keeping them."
This is the Mother of all dysfunctional rationalizations frequently expressed in the form of, "I don't really need to sell them"
This is just an indisputable, incontrovertible lie.  To oneself, others & the world.  If you went to the trouble of advertising it (let alone paying money on AG or elsewhere to do it) then on some level you NEED to sell it/have it out of your life.  The rationalized permutations of pride & various control issues can be very emotional indeed, but always are the result of some flavour of not being able to own your (unconscious) stuff. Money is only 3 things.  Time, effort & energy.  Wasting all 3 to get an arbitrary number merely reinforces the above points.  By a lot.

I don’t consider 5 minutes and $10-$20 a major commitment. When I change gear in main system, I need to sell gear it replaced. When looking to make change out of curiosity in secondary system, then if I can’t sell it doesn’t matter. A few times I waited a year and then it sold   Even when it didn’t sell I got my $10 worth talking to other members 
"Patience is a Virtue".
 Especially when it comes to Ebay. I sell tons of gear there. I buy tons of gear there as well. Man-o-man I wish I had known about this swap-meet! 
I believe I talked to "Lance" at the show a couple weeks back.
 May I come to a meeting to see what you guys are all about before plunking down my $70? Where do you hold your meetings? Are there snacks? Hee hee hee.
Lance seemed to lose interest in talking when he heard I was developing a "Line Source" type of system for market. I was wondering about that....
    By the way. Those "Guy's downstairs", that had the tables with all the vintage gear, that fix gear in Baltimore? Their OK, At any one time they have 25 to 40 pieces of gear from my collection. But again, "Patience is DEFINITELY, a Virtue with them!!!" But they can actually FIX them. Not  just another, "Swap a board" or  else it's, "Your amp is fried!" shop. They are actually apprenticing a few guys to keep vintage gear alive! And you should see their eye's light up when I bring in rare gear! So they are a bit better than just "OK", "IMHO".
     And "YES" I do have an Oppo-203 for sale!

I like to peruse the items on sale on Audiogon but...wow...is it my imagination or has the number of items being sold here decreased significantly?   It seems fewer items turn up than ever before when I search for certain brands.
