Experience with Adio Equipment Trade-Up Promotions


Anyone have experience with vendor "trade-up" promotions where they buy your used equipment and apply your trade-in as store credit towards a more expensive piece of equipment they are selling?  Are you much better off selling your used equipment elsewhere (e.g. Audiogon) even if you intend to buy equipment from the vendor (e.g. MusicDirect)?

I'm curious on your experiences.  Thanks in advance!

I'd make an analogy to trading in your used car for a new one.  You can (usually) get more if you sell it yourself, but it can also be a hassle.  

Suggest that you get the store's offer and compare it to prices here, EBay, etc.  If it seems fair, trade it in.
