Experiences Selling Stuff On Audiogon?


I know Ebay is terrible, but how has your experience selling gear on Audiogon been? I have some stuff that's too high-end for the market I live in, and so I gotta cast the net wider. Not looking forward to the potential hassle.

Selling on Audigon has been a very good experience assuming you don't mind giving them their %. Definitely a higher-end location to advertise.

AGON as a platform is just fine, but there are other audio forums that are as good or better IMO. Think CANUCKAUDIOMART and USAUDIOMART. In addition to a comparable reach, they won’t dip into your pocket for a cut of the sales proceeds.

I’ve had a few AGON deals with no complaints and 51 EZPZ flawless deals to date on CAM/ USAM ….And no IRS income tax reporting for the latter.

Vetting all prospective buyers vis-a-vis their posted positive feedback (or not…) in any audio forum listing is key. There are many “problem” types out there …. Yes, they DO walk among us.

 

I don't know why people bash eBay. I have done over 5000 transactions in over 20 years, (as a seller) in many categories with only 6 minor problems. Since you are a newbie, with no feedback, it might be a bit of a challenge getting your feet wet here. I certainly would try it though.
