I haven't sold on audiogon for quite a while, but I've sold about 6 items in the last year with no problem (canuckaudiomart).
I listed my MBL 121 monitors last night and they were literally sold in five minutes.  And within a couple hours I had 10 more offers to buy immediately.   (But then, I tend to list things for cheaper than they are normally found.  I don't mind losing a few hundred bucks or whatever in order to make a fast sale).

When I buy used, I generally choose gear that I know is coveted by some portion of audiophiles, and I jump fast on a really great price when I find one. That way I can be reasonably confident of re-selling if necessary. And I always go in simply expecting to have paid some level of expense to acquire the gear.  I’m not concerned with getting every penny back when re-selling. I had ten years of use out of my MBL speakers so I have no problem selling them for somewhat less than I bought them. Basically, when I re-sell, I want it gone quick.When I find the lowest previous sale price I often put mine a bit lower so I can always alert "lowest price."

Certainly worked again for selling my MBL speakers. In less than 2 days I’ve had 36 offers for outright buying them, almost no tire-kicking or low-balling.


Someone is picking them up today - I sold for over asking price.
