Experiences Selling Stuff On Audiogon?

I have purchased items here for 20 years and have had all excellent experiences, even made some great friends and built an incredible system that I wouldn't have been able to afford otherwise.  Having purchased as much gear as I have, I have accumulated a few closet full and have taunted myself for years with selling some items on Agon.  The thought was never appealing for one reason or another, though mostly procrastination.  I got a bug in me a few weeks ago and took an item out of the closet, took a photo of it and put on Agon for sale.  Within an hour I had an offer and it was sold.  Not even a question.  I posted 5 other items later that day and the following morning and my the next evening, all was sold with not a question, complaint or negative remark - except one offer for $100 less, which was fine.  It was a really great experience and I have a few more items to sell, once I stop procrastinating.

I've had nothing but good experiences buying and selling here. I believe selling and buying here is generally safer. USAM as well. sort of a for enthusiasts by enthusiasts... in a way self policing. One needs to be smart about a transaction, review the buyer/seller's profile and feedback. 

You will get less $$ for your gear on TMRaudio but you will also avoid the hassle.

My experience here has been good, but the last few / several years I've been driven away because:

1. High fees: higher than, and IN ADDITION TO, PayPal's, and
2. The stifled communication between buyer & seller when you don't pay the fee up front (i.e. total loss if your listing doesn't sell).

The other place usam is simply a superior system with no fees (for most hobbyists). Compare the traffic of the 2 - agon's listings have been dwindling each year, and a lot of them are spamming by dealers trying to unload a warehouse full of their crap (like cables). A lot of the remaining "decent" listings are by TMR (The Music Room) - just go to TMR's own site, and search / buy there!

The other place has much more daily traffic, and generally more interesting listings. But the market in general feels slow this summer. I guess our hobby got a little bump from covid days, and that's gone now. 

The low-ballers have always been around (my policy is to ignore them), along with guys who don't have the money now but "really want it". What gets me is I have a track record of 100% feedback, and always supply ample pics and description to my ad, always rate condition accurately, and would never sell inoperable junk - but inevitably I always get asked if there are any operational problems or scratches / gouges in the item, as if I've been insidiously hiding that somehow. I guess the age group of this hobby was raised to consider a paint scratch as the worst sin possible. Not as big a deal to me (unless it's a front faceplate), but I look for and state any such issues upfront nonetheless.
