I had posted a pair of GE Triton One speakers for sale in March 2021 for $2800.00. I had 4 or 5 offers, but shipping on these way oversize boxes were coming in at $600.00 and up. No one wanted to pay those prices for shipping so I lowered the price to 2K and still no one wanted to pay for shipping. I sold the speakers for 2K, local pick up, and the person from Connecticut was thrilled. I wasn’t so much as the high costs of shipping cost me sales where I could have gotten my asking price.
Local pick up only…
I am seeing more and more ads specifically for speakers where the seller is accepting local pick up ONLY. As much as I understand why this could be very convenient for the seller, it definitely limits the buyer options. Sure the shipping prices are getting higher but, is this where the used market classifieds are heading?
