Price to list ad

En route to flipping my main residence from Philadelphia to Vancouver, BC, and a house of less than half the size, I've been trying to sell off some of the extraneous stuff I've collected, and tried several of the sites.

USA Audio Mart and Audio Asylum offer free ads.  Well, you can actually list 7 items for free in a month at USA Audio Mart.  For most folks, that won't hamstring them. 

I get a good amount of interest from USA Audio Mart, and have sold several items there.  That's definitely a godd first step.

As much as I want to support Audio Asylum, I've tried AA Trader many times over the past years, including now.  All I can say it's more or less a dud.  You just don't reach many folks, and the number of inquiries and folks who move forward comes in the worst of the sites I've tried.  Yes, I'm calling Audio Asylum dead last going away in this race.

You may have an issue with Audiogon rates.  Say what you will, but Audiogon captures the most eyes, and seems to generate the most interest.  Factor in the cost of the ad to the final sale price, and how much a component generates for you.  If you come out ahead, that's the cost of doing business, and obviously justified it.

For what it's worth, for lower dollar or lower level components, I've been having excellent success at eBay

Good luck! I hope that all is well!"

Thank you for your concern and well wishes, John.

All IS well.  Always had the dream to retire when I was in my 40s, and looks like I hit that with almost 2 years to spare.  Will need to find something to keep myself busy, but getting up early, day after day after day after day for the daily grind looks like it won't be one of them.  Had a house in the Vancouver area the past several years, and spent a fair amount of time there, and just bought a second one.  It's a wonderful environment, extraordinarily safe, good and friendly people, beautiful scenery, MUCH cleaner than the Philadelphia region where you and I live (if you can believe that), incredible economic engine, and comfortable weather through the year.  Neighbors there like to joke the two things I won't need any more are snow shovels (or, snow blowers) and air conditioners.  Still keeping the house here and at the Jersey shore, but will make the Pacific Northwest the home base.  At least, for now...
