With all the fees the new sales taxes on used goods sold online the many scammers and the shippers hell bent on smashing your kit. Today I only sell pickup cash in my hand if I know you I may ship. Sure I have to reduce asking prices a bit sure it make take more time. But I get to meet buyer they hear see the gear before purchase no worries about after sale waiting to know if it made it to buyer intact. And I've actually sold other gear to these buyers as they see all my kit. 2 sales one buyer hard to beat that. And I've made a few new friends. Over all for me it's the better way.
Beware, scammers everywhere
Man, it just doesn’t stop. I list an amp here, and immediately get a response. Some back and forth on price, then it gets fishy. “My partner and I will overnight the payment, we just need name and address. Refuses PayPal, will only send from his/her bank. All this over text, which should have been the first clue.
I suspect the next thing would have been “we accidentally sent the money twice, can you send it back to us?” or something similar. Been down that road before.
None of this was due to the Audiogon platform, scammers find a way to get pretty much anywhere and everywhere. If it seems fishy, run away.
