Slow used market right now?
Just curious what the state of the used market is right now. I have three components up for sale right now and have seen very little interest. I'll admit, they probably aren't the most desirable but definitely solid pieces of gear. I see speakers like Maggies, Tekton, DeVore that have been available for weeks. Seemingly fairly priced. Is it just an after the holidays down time?
Thanks for all of the good points. Overall, I would agree that the used market seems to be doing well. I was mainly talking about right now, January. I decided on pricing as I think many probably do, by scanning Hi-Fi Shark. Good news, one piece did sell yesterday. I'm in no huge hurry so we'll see what happens. |

A good quality stereo equipment will smash your foot if you drop it. With that being said, the cost of shipping heavy and large boxes is astronomical. Secondly, the new administration wants the IRS to collect taxes on the secondary market seller, this is including PayPal. I'm not going to mention about the websites that are increasing their sellers' fees as well. As a hobbyist, I have plenty to sell, but I will avoid selling them on auction or seller website who will send me 1099-K form. |
