Hints on how to sell on A'gon?

I've been buying stuff on A'gon for a few months, and - inevitably - now I need to sell some stuff. Having looked at several thousand ads, I've developed a sense of what appeals to me (pictures, clear and honest descriptions, links to more info) and what doesn't (hype, opaque language, non-existent zip-codes).

But I wonder if any of you more experienced A'goners might offer tips on the best way to get stuff sold. In particular, I wonder if there are particular days of the week or months of the year that are especially good for A'gon sales. But any advice would be welcome. Thanks.

What Elizabeth and Bdgregory said!

Both of the sellers who sold me electronics packed the items to the hilt, and I was extremely impressed. Pardales packing the Dodson 217 Mark II D DAC and Lak packing the Shunyata Hydra--Lak even TRIPLE boxed the unit (partly because he was also sending cords). It's hard to adequately express just how much these two sellers impressed me with their attention to detail.

List Fri before noon hour on east coast trust me folks look the most on friday at lunch hour. Lots of pics ,price fair. Good feedback is nessesary I wont buy or sell to members with low or bad feedback. Look into who is purchasing members with good feedback are best bet. Be prepared for folks to offer to purchase then back out with little notice or none at all. Folks will ask dum ? You just have to deal with it. But audiogon is you best choice I have done 100s of deals with no problems just be smart and dont fall for any scam offers.

If you want to sell it quick, be realistic and price it aggressively - especially if there are similar products already listed. Also, good pictures are a necessity. I personally skim right over adds without pictures.
