Price to list ad

maplegrovemusic +1 !

@jmcgrogan2 Sounds about right I joined in 2000 too and remember the $2 days $4 sounds fair also. 2% seems high but I guess to a certain extent you get what you pay for though I may give USA Audiomart a try sometime.

Well, I’ve been around here a long time. Not trading so much as of late, but since the beginning.
Prices to post ads here are pretty reasonable it seems to me. I mean there are no other sites that truly compare. Think about it, there are a very small number of people even interested in most high end audio. Audiogon draws that audience.
 I have used all the others mentioned above.
you could always try Craigslist 😉

I posted 4 for sale ads yesterday here on Audiogon.  All 4 items sold in less than 24 hours.  The fact that Audiogon has the largest amount of viewers is what enabled me to sell the items very quickly.  I happily paid my 2% fees per item.  Flea Bay not only charges 10%, but they also keep your money in escrow until the buyer receives the item.  I won't do business there.

It's all a matter of perspective. I've never posted a for sale ad on Ebay, I guess because of the pricing. I post fewer here now too, because of the pricing.
2% may not sound like much, but add the 3% PayPal fee, and shipping, and things start to add up quickly.

On the bright side, because of all these higher costs of doing "business" these days, I do a whole lot less buying and selling compared to a decade ago. All the associated fees have helped me curtail my spending.
So I guess it's better in the long run. ;^)
