HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ???

I haven't sold on audiogon for quite a while, but I've sold about 6 items in the last year with no problem (canuckaudiomart).
I listed my MBL 121 monitors last night and they were literally sold in five minutes.  And within a couple hours I had 10 more offers to buy immediately.   (But then, I tend to list things for cheaper than they are normally found.  I don't mind losing a few hundred bucks or whatever in order to make a fast sale).

Good for you Prof.
Glad still some life out there.
Tbh I have not really had any wasters or tyre kickers of late.
Been slow but those who have bought have been great members with sensible questions and fair offers.

I think some used gear is not priced well either. Just because something is no longer available new it shouldn't be listed for more than the original new price.

We aren't selling classic cars.

I haven't been all that active a buyer/seller on the A'gon for some time now.  My most recent acquisition was a trade up of my ARC Ref 5SE to the Ref 6.  I did the flip with an ARC dealer.  The Ref 6 was a broken-in dealer demo (610 hours).  The main advantage was convenience of being able to swing 2 units in one deal.  

Did I lose money by going through the dealer?  Probably, … but the convenience factor was hard to beat.  I've done the buy/sell thing on A'gon many times.  Making the buy and sell deals, followed up with the schlepps to a local FedEx or UPS store just got old for me, ... because I am getting old. ;)

Just saying.

When I buy used, I generally choose gear that I know is coveted by some portion of audiophiles, and I jump fast on a really great price when I find one. That way I can be reasonably confident of re-selling if necessary. And I always go in simply expecting to have paid some level of expense to acquire the gear.  I’m not concerned with getting every penny back when re-selling. I had ten years of use out of my MBL speakers so I have no problem selling them for somewhat less than I bought them. Basically, when I re-sell, I want it gone quick.When I find the lowest previous sale price I often put mine a bit lower so I can always alert "lowest price."

Certainly worked again for selling my MBL speakers. In less than 2 days I’ve had 36 offers for outright buying them, almost no tire-kicking or low-balling.


Someone is picking them up today - I sold for over asking price.
