With in the past two months I have run 10 adds, 4 here and 6 on the free sites, sold 2 pieces here within 10 days for my asking price which was a bit on the hi side and refused several OK offers on the other 2 but don't mind keeping them. The 6 adds on the free sites I sold 2 the day they posted and 3 within 5 weeks and will renew the not sold adds and add the 2 items not sold here and see no reason to give them away. If you got good schitt they will sell. Just sayin. |
as with most things collectable, it usually comes down to finding that one buyer looking for what you are selling. It may have absolutely nothing at all to do with the price. Just a matter of timing and the right web site. If a potential buyer is looking for a particular item and sees it for sale on this site, then, several items take over, like 1) condition, 2) price, 3) location, 4) shipping issues, etc. not just price. Also, who is to say something is "overpriced"? I typically use Audiogon's blue book feature to determine the average sale price of an item, and I typically price my item (unless very collectable) a little below blue book average. This is why I don't tolerate low ballers. Also, I am reluctant to ship, really expensive items and use paypal. Because paypal protects the buyer not the seller and the seller can actually damage an item upon receipt (happened), tell paypal it wasn't working and paypal will refund the buyer the funds and the seller is now left holding a now non-working item. It is best to have the buyer come over, hear the item work, pay for it, then and there and take delivery. but, if that can't happen realistically, then there may be issues. The buyer (in this case) better have really good approval scores. anyway, many times it isn't the price, its timing. enjoy |
I've had the same speakers for sale at usaudiomart.com for around a year now. I didn't want to ship because I don't have the original cartons and just don't like shipping. To quickly facilitate a sale, I'm asking half of what they went for new so anyone could come over and pick them up. Stated so right in the ad. Got lots of offers out of state and only one for local pick up. It seemed to be going just fine until he asked how much I'd discount them for if he came over to pick them up. When I told him it was reduced $500 for that purpose, as stated in the ad, and to get back to me with his decision, I never heard back. Some people just want something for nothing. That, and the number of "looks" keeps on climbing. All the best, Nonoise |
