I feel the same as Danlib1. Because of space and financial constraints, I have sold a number of pieces that I would have rather kept. If you are on a limited audio budget, you need to sell to finance what you want to try next. The problem of course is that the next thing is often a gamble that isn't necessarily an improvement. I have to say though that I find it annoying when you place an ad and receive an email that simply says "Why are you selling?" Assuming that the seller has good feedback and the piece is in good condition, why do you really care? If you have done your research, and the piece seems to be the right fit for you, then you shouldn't worry about why the previous owner is getting rid of it. Even if he is selling because he dislikes the way that it sounds, it is still a matter of personal taste, and you may love it.
Pros posing as hobbyists?
I have frequently noted that a seller will often use a normal reason for selling. The typical ones are Downsizing, New baby, Project never materialized.
I check to see what else they have for sale and it can be a very long list. It looks like a semi pro's used components inventory for sale.
It is no crime to sell here as a hobby just making a business on the side as it were. Why give us the silly string of excuses. I like people being very upfront it gives me a sense that the seller has integrity.
A new category without added fees perhaps would make it easy for everyone. What do you think?
