Where is the best place for an auction?

I reccomend you first decide on your price and reserve price for auction. First run it on the Gon for your asking price plus a samll cushion and see if it sells. If not, put it on a auction site like Audioogn or E bay with reserve. Either way you must set a realistic price...ARC is on here all the time. How bad do you want to sell it? IMO, any others?

it all depends on how fast you need to sell the gear,
i have done over 100 deals at this point most of which were done on ebay.

ill give you an example,i listed a mint mcintosh mr7082 tuner on ebay & audiogon at the same time,within the first day the tuner was sold from ebay & out of over 500 hits to the ad on AG i recieved 1 email asking for more pics of the tuner.

i have found that if i have a peice that is really in demand & is mint then audiogon is the place beacuse the people are better informed & take closing a deal way more serious than ebayers.

on the other hand if i have a peice thats a dime a dozen or just in great shape then i use ebay,it seems that ebay has more buyers that are just starting out in hifi or are trying to rekindle their love for hifi & want a peice right now & are more apt to jump on a peice than on audiogon.

even though alot of people who are on audiogon are also on ebay the two are entirely different sites where buyers agendas are alltogether different.

in a nut shell if you need to get rid of a peice fast or just want it out of your hair then ebay is the ticket but if your peice has somthing about it that makes it really sought after than ag is the place.

1 important thing to remember is the fees for selling on ebay are not the same as audiogon,you can sell a peice for 2,000$ on audiogon for 3$ but the same sale on ebay will cost you 150$.

I think Bigjoe has hit it right on the numbers.
