It’s definitely more convenient, less risk, and less cost to ship within the continental USA. I generally sell USA only, but sometimes certain big-ticket items (e.g extremely un-obtainum OOP high-end headphones) are much more highly in demand in Asia/China, and that makes it tempting.
That said, once you get packages over a certain size and weight (and you will often end up with big packages if you’re packing properly), it can be surprising how much it costs to ship ground from one US coast to the other.
And prepare yourself for an absurd onslaught of "why are you selling?" questions, lolz. A couple times now I’ve gotten tired of the tire kickers, gave up on the ad, and later became thankful I never sold that piece (i.e. further tweaks, additional burn-in, changed system balance, etc)! When I want to buy something, I know I want it -- so I offer a generous/fair price right off the bat (often asking $) and avoid the BS -- purchases go very smoothly this way. But a LOT of buyers here want to feel like they "bargained down", regardless of the start/end price, so you might consider padding your initial ask price to account for this. Stupid habits, if you ask me.
